Global Scoliosis Trends 2025, Forecast To 2034
26 Mar, 2025
How Has the Scoliosis Market Evolved Historically and What is its Current Size?
The scoliosis market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, there has been a consistent growth in the size of the scoliosis market. This market, which stands at a size of $1.23 billion in 2024, is expected to increase to $1.26 billion in 2025. This expansion represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.8%.
The historical growth in the market can be traced back to several factors. These include the expansion of healthcare infrastructure, an increasing elderly population, the prevalence of degenerative scoliosis cases, the availability of non-surgical treatment options, wider insurance and reimbursement policy coverage, and a prioritization of pediatric and adolescent health.
What Does Future Hold for The Scoliosis Market By 2029?
The scoliosis market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Anticipated steady expansion is on the horizon for the scoliosis market in the coming years. The market is projected to increase to $1.39 billion by 2029, boasting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.4%.
This growth throughout the prediction period can be associated to the rise in worldwide scoliosis occurrences, heightened cognizance of early detection and treatment, escalating healthcare spending, growing need for child and teen scoliosis treatments, and an increase in elderly patients with degenerative scoliosis. The forecast period is also set to see major trends such as advancements in imaging and diagnostic technology, novel surgical implants and device innovation, the incorporation of artificial intelligence and machine learning into scoliosis diagnosis, and the creation of wearable and monitoring devices.
What Are The Primary Growth Drivers In The Scoliosis Market?
The escalating cases of bone mineral deficiencies are anticipated to stimulate the expansion of the scoliosis market. Bone mineral deficiencies imply a shortfall of crucial minerals in bones, leading to frailty and an escalated risk of fractures. The escalating cases of these deficiencies are triggered by aging, inadequate nutrition, vitamin D deficiency, sedentary lives, and medical ailments. Scoliosis contributes to these deficiencies by impacting bone density and structural stability, thereby escalating the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. For example, in March 2024, per the National Institutes of Health (NIH) (.gov), a US-based institution, a study of 5380 Romanian adults (25–64 years) revealed a 24.8% vitamin D deficiency rate. Moreover, the Department of Health and Social Care, a government department based in the UK, has stated that approximately one in every six adults in the UK has low vitamin D levels. Hence, the escalating incidences of bone mineral deficiencies are fueling the growth of the scoliosis market.

What Trends Are Shaping The Scoliosis Market?
Leading businesses in the scoliosis sector are channeling their efforts into the design of groundbreaking products like a growing rod system, with the aim of amplifying treatment results, refining spinal deformity correction procedures, and minimizing the frequency of surgeries required by pediatric patients with scoliosis. The mentioned growing rod system is a modifiable spinal implant designed for treating early-stage scoliosis, and its key function is to manage spinal growth whilst decreasing the necessity for recurrent surgeries. An example of this can be seen in the introduction of the MARVEL growing rod system by Globus Medical, a medical device firm based in the USA, in July 2023. This unique device targets early-onset scoliosis treatment, enabling managed spinal growth. The product incorporates a non-invasive adjustment procedure, curtailing the need for multiple surgeries. By providing a personalized and less invasive treatment alternative, the system aims to improve patient results.
