Research Delivers Insight into the Global Outlook for Knee Braces Market

Knee braces are medical aids used for the prevention of knee injury during sports activities and for the reduction of pain caused due to medical conditions such as osteoarthritis, tendonitis, and other injuries. Athletes as well as patients suffering from arthritis and other knee injuries adopt knee braces to get rid of pain. Knee braces support knee joints to prevent injuries. These are used for fast recovery after surgery and rehabilitation of knee joints. Knee braces are created from a combination of metal, plastic, straps, foam, and elastic materials. These braces are available in different sizes, designs, and colors.

The global knee brace market growth is driven by increasing number of orthopedic knee surgeries, growing prevalence of osteoarthritis diseases, and rising number of injuries in athletics. The growing demand for knee support brace system is attributed to factors such as rise in awareness about preventive support system during sports activities, increase in the number of accidents leading to high rate of knee injuries, and rise in aging population which creates high prevalence of arthritic patients. The alliance of key players with online networks to provide knee braces directly to end-users has resulted in the easy availability of these products, which has further boosted the growth of the market. However, high cost of knee braces is restraining the market growth.

The knee ligament injury segment is further categorized into anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), medial collateral ligament (MCL), and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL).

The clinics segment is anticipated to hold a significant share of the market owing to a large number of patients preferring to visit clinics for the treatment of arthritis and sprains rather than hospitals. Growing incidence of accidents and surgeries leading to a high rate of hospitalization is projected to boost the market growth of the hospitals segment. The others segment includes sports institutes and emergency and trauma centers.
