Market Overview:
The global thermoplastic splints market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The high temperature thermoplastic materials segment is expected to dominate the market in terms of revenue share during the forecast period. The hand and arm application segment is expected to be the largest application segment in terms of revenue share during the forecast period. North America is estimated to be the largest regional market for thermoplastic splints, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific.
Product Definition:
Thermoplastic splints are devices that are used to hold a body part in place and limit its motion. They can be used for both temporary and permanent immobilization, depending on the material that is used to make them. Thermoplastic splints are often made from a lightweight plastic material that can be easily molded to fit the body part that needs support.
Low Temperature Thermoplastic Materials:
Low temperature thermoplastic materials include polyether ketone (PEEK) and polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). These two resins are gaining popularity in the market owing to their excellent mechanical properties, such as high strength, lightweight & flexibility at low temperatures. PPS is widely used for manufacturing hip and joint replacement parts due to its superior wear resistance.
The global LTT market was valued over USD 1 billion in 2015.
High Temperature Thermoplastic Materials:
High temperature thermoplastic materials include polyether ketone (PEK), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) and polysulfone (PSU). These thermoplastics are widely used in the manufacturing of splints for bone, ligament, and muscle injuries. The global high temperature thermoplastic materials market size was valued at USD 536.1 million in 2016.
Application Insights:
The knee application segment accounted for the largest share in 2016 and is projected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growing geriatric population, especially in countries such as Germany, Japan and China is expected to drive demand for orthopedic implants. This factor will further increase the adoption of thermoplastic knee implants owing to their low-cost nature as compared to metal counterparts.
The foot & ankle application segment was valued at USD 159.2 million in 2016 owing to high usage rates of rigid polyurethane (PU) shoes among athletes and patients suffering from metatarsalgia or plantar fasciitis at a global level due largelyto improper footwear habits coupled with climatic conditions that encourage bacterial infections particularly in winters across most parts of Europe, North America.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global thermoplastic splints market in 2017 owing to rising incidence of sports injuries and growing geriatric population. In addition, increasing road accidents are also anticipated to boost product demand over the forecast period. Europe is expected to be a significant contributor towards growth due to rising cases of osteoporosis and other bone disorders coupled with high disposable income of consumers in this region. Asia Pacific is projected to grow at a lucrative rate over the forecast period owing to improving healthcare infrastructure, economic development, and high unmet medical needs pertaining health conditions that lead patients into chronic pain or disability.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from medical and healthcare sector for thermoplastic splints as they are non-invasive and provide support to the affected body part.
- Rising awareness about the benefits of thermoplastic splints, which is helping to drive their adoption in both developed and developing countries.
- Technological advancements in the manufacturing of thermoplastic splints that is making them more durable, comfortable, and affordable for consumers.
- Growing number of product launches by key players that is providing consumers with a wider choice of products to choose from.
