With increasing manufacturing costs, medical device manufacturers struggle to generate enough revenue to please their investors. Emerging markets in developing economies are crucial in offering better and more lucrative growth opportunities to major players to expand their business and geographic reach. The treatment of orthopedic conditions has become simpler with the help of advanced medical technologies. Minimally invasive surgeries, such as artificial cervical intervertebral disc replacement surgery, have reduced the consumption of heavy-dose medicines. The uptake of these orthopedic surgeries is likely to increase in the emerging region, such as the Middle East & Africa, in the coming years.
This region invests more in healthcare and aggressively creates awareness regarding minimally invasive orthopedic surgeries. The healthcare expenditure in economies, such as UAE and others, is growing, which has created many opportunities, thereby providing better services. These economies are witnessing an increase in adult and geriatric populations. Therefore, the incidences of orthopedic conditions are likely to increase in the near future.
In addition, the availability of technologically advanced infrastructure is likely to boost the local players in the manufacturing of advanced orthopedic products over the next few years. Therefore, the market in developing countries is expected to show high growth potential during the forecast period.
