The rising prevalence of orthopedic diseases and disorders, the growing participation in sports and physical activities leading to sports injuries, and the growing global elderly population susceptible to osteoarthritis and similar conditions propel the growth of the orthopedic braces and supports market. Technological advancements in materials and design, such as lighter, more durable braces and emphasizing prevention and rehabilitation in sports medicine, offer significant opportunities for market expansion. However, the market faces challenges, including competitive pricing pressure from low-cost manufacturers and a lack of awareness and adoption in emerging economies.
