Rising number of sport related injuries coupled with road accidents along with introduction of technological advanced devices is expected to drive the industry growth. Other factors such as aging population, increasing number of hospitals and ambulatory settings and rising investment by key companies in this market further support the growth of this market. On other hand, the global market has been stifled by key impediments such as high cost of devices, and low awareness regarding the use of such equipment especially in developing regions.
