The sports medicine market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, there has been considerable growth in the size of the sports medicine market. It is projected to expand from $8.26 billion in 2024 to $8.87 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The historical growth in this market can be credited to various factors such as military operations and conflicts, increase in commercial aviation, global geopolitical shifts, regulatory norms, and compliance, as well as variations in fuel prices.
The Sports Medicine market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Predictions indicate that the sports medicine market will witness a solid upward trend in the forthcoming years. The market is set to expand to $12.03 billion by 2029, with a CAGR of 7.9%.
Factors such as increasing military spending, commercial aviation growth, technological upgrades in refueling systems, worldwide geopolitical shifts, and the adoption of eco-friendly aviation fuels contribute to this forecasted growth. Key trends to watch for the projection period are the automation of refueling systems, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), the incorporation of autonomous technologies, improved fueling strategies, and better safety protocols.
The escalating number of sports-related injuries is projected to stimulate the expansion of the sports medicine device market. These injuries typically occur during sports-related activities. Besides treating injuries, sports medicine devices serve other functions like performance training, physical therapy, and injury prevention. This has led to the prediction that the increase in sports injuries will enhance the sports medicine devices market. Notably, Insideworldfootball, a UK-based internet news service, reported that the total sports injuries for the 2023-24 season reached 4,123 in October 2024, exhibiting a rise of 4% compared to the previous 2022-23 season. Therefore, the upward trend in sports injuries is propelling the growth of the sports medicine device market.
