The knee implants market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•The size of the knee implants market has expanded consistently in recent years. Its growth is projected to rise from $11.64 billion in 2024 to $12.18 billion in 2025, signifying a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%.
Factors contributing to the growth during the historic period include a growing elderly population, the prevalence of osteoarthritis, innovations in implant materials, a rising preference for minimally invasive surgical procedures, and initiatives aimed at patient education and awareness.
The knee implants market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of knee implants is predicted to experience robust expansion in the coming years, swelling to a value of "$15.73 billion in 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%.
Several factors account for this expected growth over the forecast period, including the uptick in individualized and tailored implants, a rise in injuries related to sports, a global increase in health spending, advancements in the field of robotic-assisted surgery, the growing prevalence of obesity, and an emphasis on outpatient and ambulatory surgical centres. The forecast period is also set to witness key trends like patient-specific implants, minimally invasive surgery (MIS), the integration of smart implants and IoT, the use of biocompatible materials and surface technologies, and the rising popularity of outpatient knee replacement procedures.
The growth of the knee implants market is expected to be propelled by the rising incidence of orthopedic disorders. These disorders refer to diseases or injuries affecting the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. The pain and disability associated with orthopedic conditions can be alleviated through the use of knee implants to replace damaged knee joint surfaces, hence the anticipated growth in the knee implant market. As per a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a public health institute based in the US, it is projected that by 2040, 25.9% of the total adult population, or 78.4 million individuals aged 18 and above, will be suffering from arthritis. Additionally, it is estimated that 34.6 million individuals, equating to 43.2% of adults afflicted with arthritis or 11.4% of all US adults, will face activity restrictions due to arthritis by 2040. Consequently, the escalating incidence of orthopedic disorders is promoting the growth of the knee implants market.

The advancement in technology is becoming a trending factor in the knee implants market. Leading businesses in this sector are focusing on creating sophisticated robotic technology to increase accuracy and efficacy of knee replacement surgeries, enhancing the patient's results, and shortening recovery periods. Surgical robotic technology deploys state-of-the-art robotic systems and tools to help surgeons undertake intricate medical procedures with improved precision, governance, and adaptability. For example, Meril, a medical technology firm based in India, launched MISSO in June 2024. The MISSO robotic system is devised to improve knee implant surgeries by conducting precise, automated bone resections without needing conventional cutting guides. By using sophisticated technology, it enables customized 3D preoperative planning specific to each patient's distinct anatomy, guaranteeing perfect implant placement and better surgical results. This system decreases human errors as well as bettering patient safety, and hastens recovery times with its real-time surveillance and modification abilities during operations.
