The lower extremity implants market size is expected to reach USD 18.43 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Lower Extremity Implants Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Type, Biomaterial (Metallic Biomaterials, Ceramic Biomaterials, Natural Biomaterials, and Polymeric Biomaterials), End Use and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
The lower extremity implants market is experiencing strong growth, driven by the rising incidence of orthopedic disorders, advancements in implant materials and designs, and an aging global population. Lower extremity implants, used primarily for hip, knee, ankle, and foot surgeries, address a range of issues from fractures and deformities to severe joint degeneration. More people worldwide suffer from arthritis, osteoporosis, and other degenerative bone diseases, thus, the demand for effective and durable lower extremity implants continues to rise.
Technological advancements play a critical role in lower extremity implants market expansion. Innovations such as 3D printing, robotic-assisted surgery, and improved biocompatible materials have led to implants that offer better outcomes, longer durability, and less post-surgical recovery time. Additionally, the development of minimally invasive procedures has made these implants more accessible and appealing to patients by reducing surgical risks and recovery times.
Lower Extremity Implants Market Report Highlights
Based on type, the knee segment is accounted for the largest market share in 2024, due to the high prevalence of knee osteoarthritis and the increasing number of knee replacement surgeries. However, the hip segment is witnessing significant growth driven by advancements in surgical techniques and an increasing aging population prone to hip fractures.
In terms of end-use, the hospitals segment holds the largest market share, benefiting from comprehensive surgical facilities and the ability to handle complex cases. Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) are the fastest-growing segment, driven by the rising preference for outpatient procedures due to cost-effectiveness and quicker recovery times.
North America dominates the lower extremity implants market, driven by high healthcare expenditure, advanced medical infrastructure, and a large patient pool.
Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing region, spurred by a rapidly aging population, increasing healthcare investments, and rising awareness of advanced treatment options.
A few key players in the lower extremity implants market include companies such as Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc.; Stryker Corporation; DePuy Synthes (a Johnson & Johnson company); Smith & Nephew plc; and Wright Medical Group N.V. Other notable players are Exactech, Inc.; Medacta International SA; Orthofix Medical Inc.; Conformis, Inc.; and Globus Medical, Inc.
