This report defines, describes, and forecasts the European orthopaedic braces and supports system market. It also provides strategic analysis of the key players in this market.

The European orthopaedic braces and supports system market was valued at $688.5 million in 2014, and is estimated to reach $813.4 million by 2019, at a CAGR of 3.4% between 2014 and 2019. The market has been segmented on the basis of products, end-users, and countries.

Orthopaedic braces and supports are devices used to support, reposition, and strengthen the muscles and joints. These are also used in prophylaxis of injury and patient care settings, right from the emergency room through the hospitalization period to rehabilitation and after care. As ligament injuries are one of the most common injuries in any sport, the braces and support systems find a significant application in sports medicine to treat knee & ankle sprains, torn knee ligaments, and so on.

Orthopedic braces and supports also help in delaying the progression of arthritis. A significant fraction of the rapidly ageing population with higher chances of suffering from osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and arthritis-attributable activity limitation are driving the European orthopaedic braces and supports system market.

The increasing number of people actively engaged in sports is also a significant driving factor for this market. In addition, the growing rate of musculoskeletal injuries and rise in surgical procedures complements the growth of this market, since patients require orthopaedic braces and support post-surgery as well.

The product segment includes a detailed study for knee braces and support, foot & ankle braces and support, spinal orthoses, and upper extremity soft goods. The upper extremity orthopaedics market has continued to be one of the fastest-growing segments in the orthopaedic devices market and comprises for a significant share. Knee braces and support system registered the largest market share, followed by foot and ankle. This market is mainly driven by increase in sports related injuries, incidences of knee and ankle arthritis, and increasing number of patients with diabetes and other vascular diseases.

Knee is the largest joint in the body. Its exposed position makes it vulnerable to injury during athletic activities and is a common pain area for people suffering with osteoarthritis. Musculoskeletal injuries are common in patients, with knee-joint disorders being common among them. Knee braces are used to support the knee after surgeries or any other trauma related incident, where minimal movement is needed to complete the healing process. The soft bracing or prophylactic knee braces are designed to protect uninjured knees from valgus stresses that could damage the medial collateral ligaments. It includes knee soft goods and immobilizers. The functional knee braces are intended to stabilize knees during rotational and anteroposterior forces after post-operative conditions using post-operative knee braces, osteoarthritis knee braces, and knee ligament braces.

Ankle sprain is one of the most common injuries where one or more ligaments of the ankle are fully or partially torn. The most commonly injured ankle ligaments are talofibular ligament and calcaneofibular ligament. Ankle braces are used in such situations to control and restrict movement in a given direction as well as to reduce pain. Braces are mainly used to provide support for lateral ankle stability, medial ankle stability, and subtalar support.

The spinal orthosis are support systems used to hold the spine in a certain position, limiting the unwanted motion of the spine. It aids in pain relief system or to support the spine after a surgery or other traumatic experience. This segment includes supports, such as cervical collars, lumbar supports, and so on. The upper extremity soft goods support system segment commonly includes shoulder supports as well as wrist and elbow braces and supports.

The market has been further segmented on the basis of end-users into hospitals, orthopaedic clinics, and other end-users (gyms/health clubs, sports academy/outlets, pharmacy outlets, emergency centres, and trauma centres). European orthopaedic braces and supports system market is spread across Germany, France, Italy, the U.K., Spain, and the Rest of Europe (RoE).
