The sports medicine devices market in North America is expected to grow from US$ 2,355.52 million in 2022 to US$ 3,682.03 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.7% from 2022 to 2028.
Professional athletes, weekend athletes, young people, and children playing in clubs are among the major group of individuals facing injuries on a frequent basis. Most sports injuries are orthopedic injuries, including sprains, strains, fractures, broken ligaments, pain, and swelling, and these injuries are roughly categorized as acute and chronic. According to Stanford Children's Health, ~30 million youth and children in the US play sports annually, and more than 3.5 million sports-related injuries are reported each year. According to the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers, ~2 million acute ankle injuries occur in the US every year. The incidence of ligament tears and fractures is high among athletes. According to the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), an ankle sprain is the most common injury sustained by football players. With increasing participation in sports (both children and adults) owing to the growing focus on healthy living and the consequent increase in sports injuries, the demand for injury management and rehabilitation is increasing. Thus, the rising incidence of sports injuries is the major factor driving the growth of the North America sports medicine devices market.
Sports medicine devices are used to treat and prevent sports and movement-related injuries. Various injuries caused by sports and general exercises include head, knee, and ankle injuries; muscle spasms; sprains and strains; and torn ligaments. These devices are either surgically implanted or externally attached; they also include performance monitoring devices and various accessories, such as bandages, bands, and slings. Recovery products include hot and cold packs, electro-stimulators, and compression garments. Also, an increase in the disposable income of people in developing countries is boosting the confidence of original equipment manufacturers (OEM) in various regions.
