Scoliosis Management Market Dynamics

The global scoliosis management market is witnessing significant growth due to the prevalence of scoliosis globally. According to an article published in the Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation in 2014, scoliosis occurs in around 3% of people globally, most commonly among girls. Moreover, increasing government and private intervention in the field of research and clinical studies have also propelled scoliosis management market growth significantly. For instance, in 2013, the National Institutes of Health trial study found that bracing considerably decreases the risk of curve progression and the need for surgery in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. Success rates of around 90 to 93 percent reduction in the curve progression after wearing a brace for more than an average of 13 hours per day was observed in the trial study. This study was supported by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Shriners Hospitals for Children, the University of Rochester, and the Children’s Miracle Network. Furthermore, increased utilization of healthcare services by patients with scoliosis conditions is driving growth of the global scoliosis management market. For instance, according to the United Sates Bone and Joint Initiative report, around 229,000 adults were hospitalized with scoliosis in 2011.

However, limited understanding of this medical condition and high treatment cost are hampering growth of the scoliosis management market. For instance, according to a study published in The Spine Journal 2010, the average mean costs of nonsurgical care in adult scoliosis were estimated to be as high as US$ 14,000 for duration of 2 years.
