Market Overview

The devices that are used to treat, diagnose, and manage musculoskeletal conditions are known as orthopedic devices. The Japan orthopedic devices market refers to the design, manufacturing, and distribution of equipment and accessories to treat musculoskeletal conditions, including bones, joints, and muscles. These devices can be broadly classified into two categories: external devices, such as braces and splints, which give support and stability from the outside of the body, and implants, which are implanted inside the body to replace or support bones and joints. Orthopedic device includes joint replacement/orthopedic implants, sports medicine, and orthobiologics. Japan's rising geriatric population is a major contributor to the orthopedic interventions, especially joint replacements, as elderly citizens seek to maintain mobility. The need for orthopaedic equipment has increased in Japan as a result of a 12% rise in injuries brought on by increased sports activity. An increasing number of young athletes and investments in sports infrastructure are fueling the market expansion.
