North America's artificial cervical intervertebral disc market is expected to grow from US$ 572.89 million in 2022 to US$ 1,557.82 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 18.1% from 2021 to 2028.
Trauma is the major contributor to cervical injuries, including vehicle accidents, penetrating or blunt trauma, falls, and sports or diving injuries. As per the study "Estimating the number of traffic crash-related cervical spine injuries in the US; an analysis and comparison of the national crash and hospital data" published in 2020, in the US, ~869,000 traffic crash-related cervical spine injuries are observed in hospitals annually, of which ~841,000 are sprain/strain (whiplash) injuries, 2800 are spinal disk injuries, 23,500 are fractures, 2800 are spinal cord injuries, and 1500 dislocations.
Further, most sports injuries are orthopedic, including strains, sprains, fractures, broken ligaments, pain, and swelling; these may be acute or chronic. According to Stanford Children's Health, approximately 30 million youth and children in the US play sports annually, and more than 3.5 million sports-related injuries are reported yearly. A cervical fracture results from high-energy trauma, such as a fall in gymnastics, hockey, football, or diving. The incidence of fractures is high in athletes. As per the Spinal Cord Injury Facts and Figures at a Glance, 2020, in the US, approximately 7.8% of the total spinal cord injuries (SCI) are due to sports.
According to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), in 2018, approximately 23,720 neck fractures were treated at US hospital emergency rooms. Of which, ~3194 fractures were due to sports. The incidence of sports injuries increases with increased participation in sports and active participation in fitness activities due to the growing focus on healthy living. Additionally, as per the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center, diving is the fifth leading cause of severe cervical spinal cord injury. Therefore, the demand for the artificial cervical intervertebral disc is increasing due to rising cervical injuries.
