MarketReportsOnline.com released a new report on the global spinal fusion market with analysis on the future.
Here are five predictions from the report:
1. The United States market will continue to have big growth opportunities. Although the United States spinal fusion market experienced a slow-down in 2012, there will likely be opportunities for continued growth and development in the future. There is a huge aging population and a growing number of interventions for younger patients who could continue contributing to society at a higher rate because of advanced back pain treatment.
Additionally, lifestyle changes among the aging population desire a higher level of activity, which could boost the demand for back pain treatment in the future. In 2020 the United States global spinal fusion market share is expectedto dip to 63 percent, compared with 71 percent in 2013.
2. New technology such as artificial disc replacement, interspinous spacers and dynamic stabilization technologies are alternatives to the traditional spinal fusion. While spinal fusion has proven good outcomes for appropriately indicated patients in the literature, new technologies can reduce the risk of adjacent segment disease and allow patients more mobility with motion-sparing techniques.
