MediPoint: Spinal Fusion – Global Analysis and Market Forecasts
Summary
Global market for spinal fusion, which includes spinal plating systems, interbody devices, vertebral body replacement devices, and pedicle screw systems (excluding minimally invasive spine devices), is set to rise from approximately $7.1 Billion in 2016 to just under $9 Billion by 2023, representing a compound annual growth rate of 3.4%. This states that relatively steady market growth, which covers 39 countries, will primarily be driven by the growing prevalence of degenerative spinal conditions due to aging, continued technological advancements in spinal fusion surgeries, such as expendable interbody cages and navigation systems, and the increased adoption of minimally invasive techniques.
Spinal fusion surgery is a well-established procedure that has been performed since the early 1900s. The procedure has benefited immensely from its long history of use, investments in advancing technologies, and its clinical success in a growing variety of spinal conditions. These traits have led spinal fusion surgery to become one of the most frequently performed surgeries in the US, which is undoubtedly, the largest geographic market for this procedure.
The US healthcare system has grown wary of the extensive growth of spinal fusion procedures, as data emerge indicating the number of medically unnecessary surgeries that are being performed. Medicare estimates that more than $200 Million was spent on improperly indicated spinal fusion procedures in 2011.
The opinion of Linda Tian, Managing Analyst covering Medical Devices, fusion surgery has been proven to provide better clinical outcomes for spondylolisthesis patients than conservative care alone or decompression surgery alone. The excellent performance of spinal fusion in these indications will continue to drive the procedure’s adoption.
Additionally, there are several conditions in which the fusion procedure has emerged as the gold standard for surgical intervention. In the instance of symptomatic degenerative disc disease within the cervical spine, anterior cervical discectomy and fusion is widely viewed as the hallmark procedure to be performed, given its persisting performance in large-scale studies with substantial follow-up.
