Hip Replacement Market Size, Share & COVID-19 Impact Analysis, By Procedure (Total Replacement, Partial Replacement, and Revision & Hip Resurfacing), By End-User (Hospitals & Ambulatory Surgery Centers, Orthopedic Clinics, and Others) and Regional Forecast, 2021-2028

The global hip replacement market size was USD 6.57 billion in 2020. The global impact of COVID-19 has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market witnessing a negative demand shock across all regions amid the pandemic. Based on our analysis, the global market exhibited a huge decline of 12.1% in 2020. The market is anticipated to grow from USD 6.91 billion in 2021 to USD 9.91 billion in 2028 at a CAGR of 5.3% during the 2021-2028 period. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to this market’s demand and growth, returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The prevalence of osteoarthritis is increasing gradually and has become an economic burden for many countries worldwide. Hip osteoarthritis causes degeneration of the hip joint and can be treated by hip arthroplasty. In hip surgery, the damaged cartilage and bone component are replaced by a hip prosthesis. The procedures are increasing significantly due to the aging population, active government support, and improving patient knowledge regarding replacement surgeries. This, in turn, is positively impacting the product demand.

Decline in Hip Replacement to Hinder Market Growth amid COVID-19  

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the market is expected to reflect a declining growth across the analysis period. In an attempt to help battle the pandemic and reserve essential health care resources, surgeons have been instructed only to perform necessary surgical procedures. Most hip and knee arthroplasty surgery did not meet the definition of necessary surgery and got canceled of these imposed restrictions. As per the American Association of Hip & Knee Surgeons (AAHKs), it was projected that around 30,000 primary and 3000 revision hip and knee arthroplasty procedures were canceled each week amid COVID-19 restrictions regarding unnecessary surgery. Many cases were canceled because of the pandemic, which resulted in significant financial losses for health care institutions and may have a profound impact on the patients.

Increased Awareness of Hip Replacement Surgery is Boosting the Market Growth

One of the key trends to the hip replacement market growth is the incorporation of online tools for patients who underwent hip surgeries. Healthcare organizations are swiftly scaling up the programs, and increased awareness of online resources is estimated to offer lucrative growth opportunities for the market. In the past few years’ patients have started referring to web-based tools and online resources to gain information for specific diseases. Joint replacement is one such area seeing the introduction of several online tools which help the patient through their surgeries, communicating with the orthopedic surgeons, and provide post-surgery information. For instance, BMC Journal broadcasted an article related to the RECOVER-E mobile app under development that helps patients recovering from knee and hip surgeries.

Additionally, in August 2021, Meitra Hospital Kozhikode announced the launch of Robotic Joint Replacement Surgery. It is a mega step towards introducing advanced, innovative, and cutting-edge technology to ensure faster and complete recovery of patients requiring joint replacement surgeries. The CORI-Robotic Joint Replacement Surgical System makes Meitra a fully equipped center to conduct all categories of total or partial hip and knee replacement surgeries, thus making it the first and only training center for conducting Robotic Arthroplasty (Joint Replacement Surgery) in India.

DRIVING FACTORS

Favorable Health Reimbursement to Surge the Market Growth

Adequate health coverage and reform in health reimbursement policies for joint replacement procedures are anticipated to propel the demand for hip implants. To provide affordable and quality care to all the people, the governments of different countries have launched various health reimbursement schemes for joint replacement surgeries. This has led to an increase in the number of people undergoing hip arthroplasty, fostering the market.

 Rapid Adoption of Customized Hip Prostheses to Boost the Market

The market for hip arthroplasty implants is projected to expand with the increasing demand for customized implants for males and females. Since each patient has a unique anatomy, the sizes of implants differ. Many manufacturers are focusing on 3D printing technology for patient-specific implants.

The introduction of 3-D printing technology to manufacture orthopedic implants resulted in a huge surge of customized implants. Many orthopedic companies are developing cutting-edge technology that can be used to supply technically advanced replacement prostheses, which is likely to favor the market.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Lawsuits and Product Recalls of Hip Replacement Devices to Hamper Market Growth

The volumes of replacement surgery are rising speedily. However, the complications related to the use of the implant are a major factor that can likely hamper the growth of the global market in the anticipated years. The lawsuits claim patients were left with serious side effects because of the device defects. The related side effects comprise allergic reactions, metal poisoning, infection, and bone loss. Major companies like Zimmer Biomet have faced various individual lawsuits and class action lawsuits owing to the malfunction of their orthopedic replacement devices. For instance,

In August 2019, there were nearly 2,000 Stryker replacement lawsuits in state and federal courts. Additionally, the significant product recalls of the hip and knee replacement devices for major key players around the globe are estimated to hamper the market's growth in the coming years. According to the U.S. FDA, from 2003 to 2019, there were more than 13,000 recalls of knee replacement components and systems. Zimmer Biomet recorded the highest number of recalls, followed by Johnson and Johnson Services Inc. and Smith & Nephew.

Partial Hip Replacement Segment to Witness Remarkable Growth

Based on procedure, the market can be segmented into total and partial replacement, and revision & hip resurfacing. The total replacement segment is estimated to dominate the market in 2020 due to the increase in total hip arthroplasty. According to the Rheumatology advisor article, researchers projected that the total annual counts of total hip arthroplasty increased by 34% in 2020 to 498,000 replacements, by 75% in 2025 to 652,000 replacements, by 129% in 2030 to 850,000 replacements, and by 284% in 2040 to 1,429,000 replacements. This, coupled with the rapid adoption of robots for THA (Total Hip Arthroplasty) procedures, is projected to drive the total segment during the forecasted timeframe.

The increasing preference for partial replacement surgeries, rising prevalence of hip osteoarthritis, and new product launches are factors attributable to the significant growth of the partial replacement segment. The rising need for revision procedure after wearing out of previously implanted product and shift towards hip resurfacing are major factors contributing to the revision and hip resurfacing growth.

By End-user Analysis

Increase in Number of Hip Procedures to Drive the Growth of Hospitals & ASCs Segment

On the basis of the end-user, the market is segmented into hospitals & ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs), orthopedic clinics, and others. In terms of revenue, the hospitals & ambulatory surgery centers segment held a major share of the market in 2018. This can be attributable to the increasing number of hospital surgeries, favorable health reimbursement, and rapid adoption of robots for replacement surgeries. 

The orthopedic clinics segment is anticipated to expand during the projected period owing to the rising number of orthopedic surgeons and replacement surgeries in outpatient settings.
