Market Dynamics

Advancements in medical technology

The development of new and improved surgical techniques and materials is making tendon repair procedures more effective and less invasive. This is leading to faster recovery times and better patient outcomes, which is driving up demand for these procedures. In April 2022, Lindare Medical and Integra Life Sciences collaborated to distribute cutting-edge regenerative tissue products addressing soft tissue, nerve, and tendon repairs to the UK market. Such developments by the key market players are further aiding the market growth.

Increasing participation in sports and physical activities

The growing popularity of sports and fitness activities leads to a higher incidence of tendon injuries. Athletes and people who engage in strenuous physical activities are more prone to overuse injuries that can damage tendons. According to the John Hopkins Medicine organization, in the US, about 30 million children and teens participate in some form of organized sports, and more than 3.5 million injuries each year. Almost one-third of all injuries incurred in childhood are sports-related injuries. By far, the most common injuries are sprains and strains. Therefore, the rising cases of sports-related injuries are likely to drive the market growth.

Market Segmentation

Our in-depth analysis of the global tendon repair market includes the following segments by type, product type and application:

Based on product type, the market is segmented into implants, suture anchor devices, grafts, other include scaffolds, screws, and tendons repair matrix.

Based on application, the market is segmented into rotator cuff repair, Achilles tendinosis repair, cruciate ligament repairs, and others including biceps tenodesis.

Rotator Cuff Repair is Projected to Emerge as the Largest Segment

The rotator cuff repair sub-segment is expected to hold the largest share of the market. The rising aging population, repetitive overhead activities, trauma, surgical necessity and advancements in techniques like arthroscopy are the major factors aiding the high share of the global market. As tendons weaken and degenerate with age, repetitive activities put stress on the rotator cuff, increasing the risk of tears. The demand for rotator cuff repair procedures and products is high, making it the leading segment in the global tendon repair market.

Suture Anchor Devices Sub-segment to Hold a Considerable Market Share

Suture anchor devices hold the major share in the tendon repair market share. High adoption of these devices owing to their strong fixation, wide range of applications, and ongoing advancements in suture anchor device technology is a key factor contributor to the high share of this market segment.

Regional Outlook

The global tendon repair market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).

North America Holds Major Market Share

Among all the regions, North America holds a significant share owing to the high demand for tendon repair across the region. The favorable demographics, advanced medical infrastructure, high awareness regarding this treatment, and a supportive regulatory environment are some other factors contributing to the regional market growth. The region's well-developed healthcare system offers advanced surgical techniques and minimally invasive procedures, such as arthroscopy, which are becoming increasingly popular. The region's focus on sports medicine and growing public awareness further contribute to its market position. According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, an average of 200,000 ACL injuries occur annually, and the number is only expected to increase in the coming years in the U.S.

The major companies serving the global tendon repair market include Integra Lifesciences Corp., Stryker Corp., Smith & Nephew plc, Johnson & Johnson, Inc., and Arthrex Inc. among others. The market players are increasingly focusing on business expansion and product development by applying strategies such as collaborations, mergers, and acquisitions to stay competitive. For instance, in March 2023, Smith &Nephew launched the UltraTRAD QUAD ACL Reconstruction Technique, comprising with Quadriceps Tendon Harvest Guide System, which directly provides ease for tendon visualization during surgical procedures.
