MENA Limb Prosthetics

MENA Limb Prosthetics

Limb prosthetics refers to artificial devices that replace missing body parts such as arms, legs, hands, feet, etc. These prosthetic limbs aim to restore function, mobility, balance, support, and overall well-being for individuals who have lost limbs due to injury, disease, or birth defects. They come in various forms, from simple wooden peg legs used centuries ago to highly advanced bionic limbs with sensors and motors that mimic natural movement. The market drivers for limb prosthetics in the MENA region include an aging population leading to an increase in orthopedic conditions such as osteoarthritis. Furthermore. rising incidence of diabetes causing nerve damage and amputations creating demand for more sophisticated yet affordable devices.

The MENA Limb Prosthetics Market is expected to grow at a strong CAGR of XX % during the forecast period owing government support for healthcare infrastructure projects, charitable organizations' fundraising efforts, international partnerships with industry leaders, and public-private collaborations drive progress toward accessible quality care for those requiring prosthetic assistance. Additionally, increasing prevalence of military conflicts resulting in limb loss among soldiers and civilians alike. For instance,

• Based on the type, the market is segmented into upper and lower. Amongst these, the lowe segment held a dominating share of the market in 2022 because Accidents, diabetes, and vascular diseases are more common causes of amputations affecting the lower limbs compared to the upper limbs in the region. Furthermore, losing a lower limb significantly impairs mobility and daily activities, making prosthetic replacements more crucial for regaining independence and quality of life.
• Based on application, the market is segmented into conventional prosthetic devices, electric prosthetic devices

, and hybrid prosthetic devices. Amongst these, the conventional prosthetic devices segment held dominating share of the market in 2022 due to their lower cost compared to electric or hybrid options makes them more accessible to a wider range of patients, especially in cost-sensitive regions. Additionally, Conventional prosthetics are simpler to operate and require less maintenance, making them a suitable choice for patients with limited technical skills or resources.

• Based on the component, the market is segmented into socket, appendage, joint, and others. The two-stage segment has a dominating share because they act as the interface between the residual limb and the prosthesis, requiring close fitting and customization for comfort and functionality.
• Based on the end user, the market is segmented into orthotists & prosthetists clinics, orthopedic clinics, and others. The orthotists & prosthetists clinics have a dominating share because orthopedic clinics are more prevalent throughout the MENA region, particularly in smaller towns and rural areas where dedicated prosthetics clinics might be scarce. They enjoy a wider patient base through catering to various musculoskeletal conditions, not just amputations, solidifying their presence in healthcare systems. Additionally, orthopedic clinics often serve as the primary point of contact for individuals with limb loss, performing initial assessments and referrals to specialized prosthetics clinics if needed.
• For a better understanding of the market adoption of the Limb prosthetics industry, the market is analyzed based on its worldwide presence in countries such UAE, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Rest of MENA. Saudi Arabia has a significant share in the spray drying market Saudi Arabia boasts the largest economy and second-largest population in the MENA region. This translates to a higher absolute number of potential patients with limb loss, naturally resulting in a larger market size. Additionally, increasing awareness about advanced prosthetics technologies and their benefits is driving patient demand for these solutions in Saudi Arabia. Factors like rising affluence, media exposure, and campaigns by advocacy groups are contributing to this growing awareness.
• The country's economic strength also translates to higher healthcare spending, creating a more fertile ground for investments in limb prosthetics infrastructure and technology. Some major players operating in the market include Fillauer LLC, Steeper Group, Uniprox GmbH & Co. KG, Ortho Europe, Blatchford Limited, Ottobock, Össur, COVVI Ltd, and Aether Biomedical.
