The Global Orthopedic Braces and Supports Market is estimated to reach USD 4.6 billion by 2027 from USD 3.4 billion in 2022, at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period (2022-2027). Growth in the orthopedic braces and supports market is mainly driven by the increasing prevalence of orthopedic diseases disorders, continuous product commercialization, greater product affordability and market availability, rising number of sports and accident-related injuries, and growing public awareness of preventive care. Increased sales of off-the-shelf and online products, and the expansion and promotion initiatives undertaken by major product manufacturers are also expected to provide a wide range of growth opportunities for players in the market. On the other hand, the limited patient qualification for bracing-mediated orthopedic treatment, limited clinical evidence to support the therapeutic efficacy of orthopedic braces, and the high adoption of pain medications are the major factors expected to limit market growth to a certain extent in the coming years.

Drivers:
The incidence of orthopedic diseases disorders is expected to increase further in the coming years with the rising prevalence of obesity and related lifestyle disorders, as obese individuals are at a greater risk of orthopedic musculoskeletal injuries as well as diabetes. Orthopedic braces and supports offer several benefits, such as better affordability, higher efficacy, greater patient comfort, and ease of use compared to conventional products. Due to these benefits, key players are increasingly developing specialized products for the treatment of various orthopedic diseases as well as to address the unmet market needs.
Restraints:
Bracing and support products are utilized to effectively manage orthopedic disorders and diseases, with physicians and orthopedic surgeons considering these products clinically necessary for specific conditions. However, in several cases (depending on the severity of the disease and its side effects as well as the patient’s physiology age), patients do not qualify for bracing products.
Innovative orthopedic braces are increasingly being adopted by major end-user facilities (such as hospitals, surgical centers, and orthopedic clinics) across developed markets such as the US, Germany, the UK, and Japan. However, end-user facilities across emerging and less-developed markets are reluctant to adopt novel products due to a lack of awareness and affordability. These users also prefer to utilize traditional/well-established products with proven clinical evidence to support their therapeutic/diagnostic role.
Opportunities:
Specific orthopedic braces can only be used under the supervision of medical practitioners or orthopedic technicians as they require customization or product alteration according to patient features. However, some braces (such as ankle braces, wrist/hand braces, shoulder braces, elbow braces, and facial braces) are increasingly being sold by retailers (off-the-shelf) and e-commerce websites since their use does not require supervision. Patients regularly use such products to prevent injuries.
Major product manufacturers are undertaking strategic initiatives to increase their brand visibility and product awareness among key end users (such as medical professionals, patients, and physiotherapists) across major healthcare markets worldwide.

Challenges:
Topical, oral, and parenteral pain medications are widely used to effectively manage pain associated with musculoskeletal disorders such as tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and osteoarthritis. Although orthopedic braces are used as part of a noninvasive approach for pain management during compression therapy (cold, hot, or conventional compression therapy), the adoption of pain medication for such applications is high owing to the low awareness about the benefits of orthopedic braces as well as the unfavorable reimbursement scenario for these products, creating a challenge for this market.
