11 Mar, 2025

What Has Been the Progress and Growth of the Artificial Limbs Market in Recent Years?

The artificial limbs market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market for artificial limbs has seen robust growth in recent times. The market which stood at $2.52 billion in 2024 is predicted to rise to $2.7 billion in 2025, an increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%.
Factors contributing to the growth during the historic period include increased occurrence of limb amputations, improved healthcare services and accessibility to prosthetic care, growing understanding and acceptance, support and funding from the government, as well as the inclusion of modern technologies such as 3D printing and robotics.

How Does the Forecast Look for the Artificial Limbs Market?

The artificial limbs market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the upcoming years, it is anticipated that the artificial limbs market will experience significant growth, expanding to $3.5 billion in 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%.
Factors contributing to this growth during the forecast period include a rising incidence of chronic illnesses, growth in healthcare infrastructure, improved rehabilitation services, and an enhanced level of awareness and acceptance. Key trends expected during the projected period include advancements in 3D printing technology, the production of bionic limbs with high-end sensors, the incorporation of wearable sensors, revolutionary progress in robotic prosthetics, and the creation of more user-friendly interfaces.

What Are The Essential Drivers Behind The Growth Of The Artificial Limbs Market?

The growth of the artificial limbs industry is projected to be fuelled by a rise in the number of road accidents and traumatic events. Such incidents entail injuries and fatalities caused by car crashes or other road mishaps, affecting both motorists and pedestrians. Reasons for the surge in these occurrences range from distracted driving to excessive speed, poor road conditions, and insufficient safety precautions. Artificial limbs provide considerable advantages to road accident and trauma victims by reinstating movement and function and enhancing their living standards. Prosthetic limbs empower individuals to recover their ability to walk, run or utilize their hands, contingent on the limb that has been replaced. For example, Bake, The Road Safety Charity, a government organization based in the UK, reported in October 2023 that the number of fatalities from road accidents in the UK had grown by 10%, reaching 1,766 deaths in 2022, with 1,711 cases happening in Britain and 55 in Northern Ireland. Consequently, the rising number of road accidents and traumas is contributing to the expansion of the artificial limbs industry.

How Are New Trends Expected To Influence The Growth Of The Artificial Limbs Market?

Key players within the prosthetic limb industry are innovating by developing products like motor-enabled knees which heighten the performance and versatility of prosthetic limbs. When one talks about motor-enabled knees, they refer to progressive prosthetic knee joints that utilize motors to control leg extension and flexion, replicating authentic knee activity. To illustrate, Össur hf, an Icelandic company specializing in non-invasive tools, debuted its prosthetic knees for individuals with limb shortages or above-knee amputations in February 2022. This pioneering knee employs a motorized component that serves to boost device performance and versatility. Its standout attribute is a state-of-the-art real-time gait study, which actively adjusts the movement of the knee to align with the user's walking style and ground conditions. This facilitates a more fluid and authentic movement, enhancing overall mobility and comfort.
