This report covers the definition, description, and forecast for the Asia-Pacific orthopedic braces & supports system market. It involves a detailed analysis of the market segmentation, which comprises products and end users. The report also provides the strategic analysis of the key players in this market. Based on type, the Asia-Pacific orthopedic braces & supports system market is segmented into knee braces and supports, foot & ankle braces and supports, and spinal orthoses; the knee braces and supports segment dominated the market with a share of 41.4% in 2014. Based on end users, the market is segmented into orthopedic clinics, hospitals, and other end users; the orthopedic clinics segmented accounted for the largest share of 37.5% of this market in 2014.

The growing demand for orthopedic braces & supports can be attributed to a number of factors such as the rising middle class population, growth in aging population, rising incidences of sports injuries, increasing number of road accidents and sports injuries, rising prevalence of comorbid conditions leading to orthopedic disorders or diseases, and presence of online sales and E-commerce platforms for the sale of orthopedic braces and supports.

According to recent studies, many sports research academies have observed an increasing number of serious bone injuries among professional as well as amateur sportspersons. The incident of ligament tears and fractures is increasing significantly, and foot & ankle injuries in sports constitute over 20% of the total number of injuries. Also, comorbid conditions, such as diabetes, obesity, and other vascular diseases lead to bone porosity, which poses high risk of bone fractures.

In the Asia-Pacific region, reimbursement systems vary considerably in terms of pricing, co-payments, and settlements. The complexities arising out of these differences create complications for third-party payers, such as private insurance companies and social security systems. These companies play a key role between the patient and the healthcare organization/companies selling braces and supports. Reimbursement in all countries, therefore, depends upon compliance with a complex set of rules and regulations.
