Market Introduction
Orthopedic braces are medical devices used to treat musculoskeletal injuries. Braces are used to align correctly, position, stabilize, support, and protect the parts of the body (joints, muscles, and bones) as they heal from the orthopedic injury or trauma. During the process of rehabilitation and recovery, most of the medical practitioners prescribe braces.
Market Overview and Dynamics
The North America OTC braces and support market is expected to reach US$ 802.90 million by 2028 from US$ 531.18 million in 2021; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 6.1% from 2021 to 2028. The growth of the market is attributed to rising chronic conditions and increasing geriatric population. However, the availability of alternative therapies is restraining the market growth.
An increasing number of sports injuries among players and athletes is driving the growth of the OTC braces and support market. According to the estimates of a study published by Stanford Children’s Health in 2020, 30 million children and teenagers participate in sports annually in the US, and ~3.5 million injuries are reported in these organized sports each year. Further, most common injuries observed among children and teenagers are sprains and strains. The increasing number of participations in sports leads to the surge in sports injuries among the participants. Furthermore, the number of joint and orthopedic diseases have been increasing leading to the requirement of OTC braces and support for joint pain and muscle ailment relief. As per the World Health Organization (WHO) factsheet updated in 2018, musculoskeletal conditions are the second-largest contributor to disabilities worldwide. Moreover, the prevalence and impact of these disorders are expected to rise with the increase in aging population and surge in the prevalence of risk factors of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) worldwide. The OTC braces and support devices serve as primary therapy devices that are generally used by people of all ages without seeking a prescription from the physicians. Thus, the elevating number of people suffering from sports injuries and orthopedic diseases is contributing to the OTC braces and support market growth.

Many companies offering products for OTC braces and support have their business operations in the US and business are adversely being affected by the effects of a widespread outbreak of COVID-19.
