Upper Limb Prosthetics Market, By Device Type (Body Powered, Passive, Hybrid, and Myoelectric), By Component (Prosthetic Elbow, Prosthetic Wrist, Prosthetic Arm, Prosthetic Shoulder, and Others), By End-User (Hospitals, Prosthetic Clinics, and Others), and By Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and South America) - Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2028
A prosthesis is an artificial device that substitutes for a missing part of the body. Upper limb prosthesis serves as a substitute for an entirely or partially missing part of the hand due to an accident, injury, illness, or trauma. Different types of upper limb prosthetics, such as cosmetic, body-powered, hybrid, and myoeletric are available in the market. They are light in weight and improve limb’s function. Thus, with the rise in number of amputations, the demand for upper limb prosthetics is also increasing rapidly, worldwide.
Market Dynamics:
Rise in number of limb amputation procedures, rise in number of accident injuries and trauma cases, growing geriatric population, increase in research and development, and technological advancements in upper limb prosthetics are major factors expected to propel the growth of the global upper limb prosthetics market.
For instance, in September 2021, researchers form Cleveland Clinic engineered a first-of-its-kind bionic arm for patients with upper limb amputations that allows the users to think, behave, and function like a person without an amputation. Moreover, in December 2020, PROLIMB planned to introduce a game-changing upper limb prosthesis. The new project aims to develop an affordable fingertip prosthesis with integrated mechanical haptic feedback.
