NewswireToday - /newswire/ - Delhi, India, 04/09/2010 - The report (2010 Edition) offers an analysis of the global spine market. It also discusses major market trends, growth drivers and market segments. The report also presents the competitive structure of the industry and profiles major players.

There are four major categories of spine disorders: degenerative conditions, deformities, trauma-based disorders and tumors. Spinal Implants include both fusion and non-fusion devices: devices associated with Vertebral Compression Fracture (VCF), interbody devices, cervical, thoracolumbar, and spinal stimulation devices. Introduction of motion preserving technologies like artificial disc replacement, interspinous spacers, and dynamic stabilization technologies in the recent past have provided surgeons with alternatives to fusion for some patients with these conditions.

The global orthopedic market has been growing at an impressive rate with spine having the largest share in the market. The worldwide spine market has been growing at a CAGR of about 8-10% over last seven years. The aging baby boomer population and rising obesity are leading to a number of cases of low back pain and spine surgery. The rise in spinal surgeries and fee per procedure has resulted in a significant growth in the market.

The US spinal fusion market is growing considerably on account of aging population, growing number of younger patients, changing lifestyles and product innovations. It is estimated that in the US alone 10 million people suffer from osteoporosis. The spine segment holds the largest share in U.S Osteoporotic related compression fractures.

While DePuy Spine, Medtronic Spinal and Biologics, Stryker Spine, Synthes Spine, and Zimmer Spine remain the leading market competitors, many smaller companies are gaining share. Though the top spine companies dominate the nonfusion segment, greater product availability and choice will change competitive dynamics in the industry in the coming years.
