Global Smart Orthopedic Implants Market Size Likely to Grow at a CAGR of 4.9% By 2034

The global Smart Orthopedic Implants Market size was valued at USD 50.9 Billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 77.4 Billion by 2034, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9% from 2025 to 2034.

Smart Orthopedic Implants Market: Growth Factors and Dynamics

The prevalence of orthopedic disorders, which include impairments in the muscles, bones, joints, and adjacent connective tissues, has increased, resulting in transient or lifelong restrictions on participation and functioning.  Furthermore, the demand for orthopedic implants is driven by the increase in the number of individuals affected by other musculoskeletal disorders, including osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

For example, the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation anticipates that the number of cases of other musculoskeletal disorders will rise by 117% from 2020 to 2050, reaching an estimated 1,070 million. Furthermore, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that 1.72 billion individuals are affected by musculoskeletal conditions in 2022. These conditions include osteoarthritis, amputation, rheumatoid arthritis, lower back pain, neck pain, fractures, and other injuries.

The global orthopedic implant market is primarily driven by the increase in the prevalence of orthopedic disorders, which are characterized by impairments in the muscles, bones, joints, and adjacent connective tissues that result in transitory or lifelong limitations in functioning and participation.

For example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 2021 report predicted that by 2040, 78.6 million adults aged 18 years and older will have been diagnosed with arthritis by a physician. Therefore, the orthopedic implants market size is influenced by the increase in demand for orthopedic implants, which is a direct consequence of the increase in orthopedic disorders.

Furthermore, technological advancements have resulted in substantial enhancements to the design and materials employed in orthopedic implants, thereby enhancing their effectiveness and durability, thereby fostering market expansion.

For example, the Cuvis Joint Robotic System has created the most advanced surgical cutting-edge robotic technology, which assists surgeons in personalized preplanning and the attainment of precise results during knee replacement surgeries. Consequently, the market is anticipated to experience growth as a result of the adoption of orthopedic implant systems and the advancements that have been made.

Additionally, the geriatric population is susceptible to numerous orthopedic disorders, including arthritis, back pain, and neck pain, which leads to an increase in the demand for orthopedic implants and thereby presents a market opportunity for orthopedic implants.

For example, the World Health Organization (WHO) 2021 data indicated that 1.4 billion individuals worldwide are 60 years of age or older, a figure that is anticipated to double by 2050. Nevertheless, the orthopedic implant market may be constrained by the high cost and limited reimbursement policies of insurance companies, which render them less accessible to patients.

Conversely, the orthopedic implants market is anticipated to experience growth during the forecast period due to an increase in the demand for orthopedic implants for joint disorders, an increase in the adoption of orthopedic implants for a variety of novel applications, and a rise in regulatory approvals for orthopedic implants.

Report Scope

Smart Orthopedic Implants Market: COVID-19 Analysis

• The smart orthopedic implants market, particularly for dental services, was significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The demand for products across all segments decreased as a result of the stringent lockdowns and government regulations designed to slow down the spread of COVID-19. Several organizations, including the American Dental Association (ADA)15 and the American Dental Hygienists’ Association (ADHA)16, have advised the postponement of all elective dental procedures and the provision of noncritical dental care in response to the COVID-19 emergency.

• The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services advise that all unnecessary examinations and procedures be postponed until further notice. According to the March 2022 articles published in Springer Nature titled “Aerosols generated by high-speed handpiece and ultrasonic unit during endodontic coronal access alluding to the COVID-19 pandemic,” there is a risk of transmission of Covid-19 in dental practice when blood or saliva is combined with instruments that generate aerosols.

• The majority of respondents (91.7%) reported canceling elective surgeries, as indicated by The Pandemic Practice, Anxiety, Coping, and Support Survey for Vascular Surgeons 2021. The COVID-19 outbreak had a detrimental impact on the growth of the market for the majority of implant surgeries. Nevertheless, the market is anticipated to acquire momentum as a result of the substantial global increase in the use of smart implant devices.

• Technological advancements in the field of smart implants, an increasing geriatric population with a variety of chronic disorders, and a rising incidence of accidents or sports injuries are among the primary factors propelling the growth of the market under investigation.

• Smart implants have the potential to reduce the infection at the site, which may support future development through faster recovery and reduced readmission. These factors are expected to increase the adoption of smart implants, thereby contributing to the growth of the market under investigation.
