Global Sports Medicine Market - Segmented by Product, Application, and Geography - Growth, Trends, and Forecast (2022 - 2030)

The global sports medicine market is expected to register a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period of 2018–2023. North America is anticipated to dominate the market during the forecast period owing to the growing healthcare infrastructure and favorable insurance coverage in the region.

Rising Incidence of Sports-related Injuries

According to a study conducted by The Johns Hopkins University, in the United States, about 30 million children and teens participate in some form of organized sports, and more than 3.5 million injuries each year are experienced by the participants. Almost one-third of all injuries incurred in childhood are sports-related. The most common injuries are sprains and strains. Moreover, trends suggest that incidences of injuries will increase significantly in the coming years. Additionally, the rate of injury is expected to increase in the developing part of the world, as sports is gaining significance in the region. The high rate of injury in the developed countries, along with increasing incidences of injury in developed and developing countries is expected to drive the sports medicine market across the globe. Additionally, consistent innovation of new products and treatment modalities and the rising demand for minimally invasive surgeries, such as arthroscopy, are further driving the market for sports medicine.

Dearth of Proper Sports Ecosystem

Lack of sports medicine ecosystem is a major hurdle, especially in the developing nations. Several Asian countries face a dearth of a proper ecosystem through which these products and services could reach the end users. In India, although numerous sports are played, and prevalence of injuries is high, sports medicine does not reach where it is needed the most. Factors such as lack of centers of excellence in sports medicine, no proper liaison between sports bodies and government in availing services for sports medicine specialists, and no super specialty seats for sports medicines in universities are holding back the progress of sports medicine in developing countries. Additionally, the high cost of implants and devices are likely to impede the market.

North America to Dominate the Market

North America dominates the sports medicine market. The factors attributing to the growth of this region are the increase in awareness among people regarding physical fitness and rise in the number of sports injuries in the region. Asia-Pacific is anticipated to grow tremendously during the forecast period owing to factors, such as growing government initiatives to promote sports activity, and favorable government support in reimbursement policies for sports treatment.
