Limb Prosthetics Market Analysis

Limb loss can occur due to various reasons, including traumatic accidents, congenital conditions, vascular diseases, cancer, and infections. The increasing global incidence of these factors has contributed to a higher number of individuals living with limb loss, thereby driving the demand for prosthetic limbs.

It is estimated that there are around 1.5 million people living with limb loss in the US alone, according to previous statistics from the Amputee Coalition, a national non-profit organization. The leading causes of limb loss in the U.S. are vascular disease (primarily related to diabetes and peripheral arterial disease) and trauma, while cancer-related amputations are less common.

Moreover, according to the International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics (ISPO), there are approximately 30 million people worldwide who live with limb loss. It is estimated that approximately 15 million of these individuals live in developing countries. The majority of limb loss occurs in individuals over the age of 65, with the highest incidence being in males. The leading causes of limb loss are trauma, cancer, and infection, thus driving the growth of the market during the forecast period.  

Limb Prosthetics Market Trends

This section discusses the key market trends that are influencing the various segments of the Limb Prosthetics Market as identified by our team of research experts.

Hybrid Prosthetic Devices Transforming Industry

A hybrid prosthetic device is an advanced and innovative technology that combines the benefits of both mechanical and electronic components. It is designed to replicate the functionality and appearance of natural limbs, providing amputees with greater mobility and functionality. The mechanical components of the device, such as joints and hinges, allow for a wide range of motion and flexibility. At the same time, the electronic elements, such as sensors and microprocessors, enhance the control and precision of the device. Hybrid prosthetic devices have gained significant attention and popularity in recent years due to several driving factors. Firstly, the advancement of technology has greatly contributed to the development of hybrid prosthetics. With the implementation of AI and robotics, these devices are able to mimic natural movements and offer enhanced functionality to amputees, thereby improving their quality of life. A significant development is the launch of the “Symbionic Leg 4” by Össur, a leading Icelandic prosthetics manufacturer, in 2022. This hybrid prosthetic device combines the power of robotics and advanced biomechanics to provide a more natural walking experience for users in the MENA region. The introduction of the Symbionic Leg 4 showcases Össur’s commitment to innovation and meeting the evolving needs of amputees in the region.

Within North America, the United States holds a major share of the market. The major factors boosting the market’s growth in the country are the increasing number of sports injuries, growing focus on R&D, a well-established healthcare infrastructure, and the presence of several market players.

According to a government source, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it is estimated that approximately 2.1 million people in the United States are living with limb loss. This statistic emphasizes the sheer magnitude of the population in need of limb prosthetics and highlights the potential market demand.

As per the American Orthotics and Prosthetic Association (AOPA), the Medicare Orthotics and Prosthetics Patient-centered Care Act was introduced in the Senate in July 2021, leading to a rise in the demand for prosthetics and orthotics in the US. In December 2022, NYU Langone Hospitals concluded their initial surgeries utilizing FDA-approved implantable prosthetics for individuals with limb loss, a treatment also accessible in the broader New York City area. This procedure, known as osseointegration, aims to enhance the quality of life for individuals with limb loss by strengthening the connection between the limb and prosthesis.
