Artificial Tendons and Ligaments Market By Application (Knee Injuries, Shoulder Injuries, Foot and Ankle Injuries, Others), By End users (Hospitals and Clinics, ASCs): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2031

The artificial tendons and ligaments market was valued at $64.3 million in 2021 and is estimated to reach $165.7 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 10.1% from 2022 to 2031.

Artificial tendons and ligament tools intended to reinforce or replace natural tendons, and ligaments, including any necessary fixing devices. Artificial tendons are also used to treat torn and damaged tendons. The damaged area may feel weak or painful. Tendons are soft, band-like tissues that connect muscles to bone. Ligaments are fibrous connective tissue that connects one bone to another bone. When the muscles contract, the tendons pull the bones and cause the joints to move. When tendon damage occurs, movement may be seriously limited. The joints that are most commonly affected by tendon injuries are the shoulders, elbows, ankles, thighs, knees, and fingers. According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, “jersey finger” is one of the most common sports injuries affecting the tendons. Tendon damage can also occur in rheumatoid arthritis, an inflammatory disease of the joints. Rheumatoid arthritis can involve the tendons, causing them to tear.

The damaged tendon and ligaments can be treated by replacement from artificial tendons and ligaments. The replacement of artificial tendons and ligaments is done to bring back normal movement to a joint. In tendons and ligament surgery, a surgeon will make one or more small incisions (cuts) in the skin over the damaged tendon, replace the damaged tendon or ligament, and sew the torn ends of the tendon together. After, check the surrounding tissue to make sure no other injuries, such as injury to the blood vessels or nerves have occurred, and then close the incision and cover the area with sterile bandages or dressings. After surgery, the surgeon will suggest immobilizing or splinting the joint to allow the tendon to heal.

Major factors driving the growth of the artificial tendons and ligaments market include an increase in the geriatric population, a rise in sports-related injuries such as sprains, strains, tendinitis, and contusions, the surge in incidences of tendon and wrist injuries, and an increase in interest in other workouts and physical activities among children and adults. For instance, according to a John Hopkins Medicine article in 2019, 30 million individuals participate in organized sports, resulting in more than 3.5 million sports injuries annually in the U.S. alone, with sprains and strains.

Tendon injury mostly occurs during hard physical work out such as rowing, heavy weight lifting, occupation activities such as window washing, woodwork, some assembly line works, and sports activities such as football, basketball, pedal cycling, soccer, ice or roller skating, and skateboarding. Artificial muscles and tendons for knee, ankle, and tendon reinforcement will also become increasingly popular due to a growing propensity for minimally invasive procedures, government activities to raise awareness about sports injuries, and developments in surgical methods.

Moreover, the surge in accidents causes tendons and ligament damage, particularly road accidents leading to an increase in the number of artificial tendons and ligament surgeries, thus fueling the growth of the artificial tendons and ligament market. For instance, according to Accident and Emergency (A&E) statistics, 24.8 million sports injuries were recorded in 2019, an increase of 2% compared with 2018. Furthermore, an increase in demand for minimally invasive procedures propels the adoption of artificial tendons and ligaments product.

In addition, technological advancements; the launch of various products; strategies among key players such as acquisition, collaboration, and agreement drive the growth of the artificial tendons and ligaments market

For instance, in 2021, Striker launched its Citrelock tendon fixation devices system for orthopedic surgical applications. The new system provides surgeons with a differentiated design via a tendon thread featuring a resorbable technology, known as Citregen, which has unique chemical and mechanical properties for orthopedic surgical applications. The launch of Citrelock will help the company to strengthen its orthopedics portfolio.

However, the lack of acceptance for biological products and the lack of appropriate knowledge regarding products among physicians and surgeons limit the market growth. Stricter regulatory standards and high costs for artificial tendons and ligament products also restrain market growth. Furthermore, the healthcare business is predicted to witness growth, owing to a rise in the prevalence of tendonitis and obesity, an increase in R&D investments in drug discovery & development, and a rise in awareness regarding physical fitness and workout. This is anticipated to offer remunerative opportunities for key players to invest in the market during the forecast period.
