Smith & Nephew, Arthrex and DePuy Mitek Lead Europe Market for Orthopedic Soft Tissue Repair Fueled by Shifting Demographics in the Region

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a new series of reports on the Europe market for orthopedic soft tissue repair by iData Research (www.idataresearch.com), the changing European population demographics is the main driver of growth for the market. As more of the baby boomer generation reaches retirement, their need for soft tissue arthroscopic surgery increases. This combined with the popularization of active lifestyles has made the need for orthopedic soft tissue repair increase. Arthroscopic surgery is becoming the preferred method of treatment as it is less invasive and reduces recovery time.

"The largest segment in the European orthopedic soft tissue repair market was the ACL/PCL fixation device market," explains Jeffrey Wong, Strategic Analyst Manager at iData Research. "The ACL/PCL fixation device market is characterized by shifting product preferences for newer devices, such as cortical fixation devices."

One major trend within the orthopedic soft tissue repair market is the shift towards all-suture anchors, also known as soft anchors. Suture anchors are used in many segments in the market and the emergence of this new segment has shifted the dynamic of some of the segments. All-sutures have been gaining market share in both the rotator cuff repair and shoulder labrum repair markets. As a result, many competitors have introduced their own all-suture anchor products.

The fastest growing segment in the European soft tissue repair and sports medicine market is the meniscal repair market. This was largely attributed to the continued transition towards hybrid devices. Hybrid devices command a premium price and have excellent clinical outcomes. Therefore, rapid adoption of these new devices has propelled the market into fast growth. Europe's aging population coupled with an increasingly active population has also augmented the number of procedures being performed as more people are likely to get injured. This market is expected to carry on growing at an accelerated rate.

The European orthopedic soft tissue market is largely controlled by three main companies: Smith & Nephew, Arthrex and DePuy Mitek. In addition to their current dominance in the market, they are also very active in product innovation which creates emerging markets that will drive growth in the market. These three companies maintain their lead in the market with their presence in the largest segments of the market. Collectively, Arthrex, Smith & Nephew and DePuy Mitek mainly focus on the rotator cuff, shoulder labrum, ACL/PCL fixation, meniscal repair and hip arthroscopy markets. Arthrex has further maintained their position with a wide range of products and surgeon training.

Other notable companies include Zimmer Biomet, ConMed Linvatec, Stryker, Wright Medical, TETEC and CO.DON. These companies are important as they provide product innovations that drive market growth and the leading market competitors will follow the trends, such as Zimmer Biomet creating the all-suture anchor market.
