China Arthroscopy Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Ablation Systems, Visualization Systems, Fluid Management Systems), By Application (Knee, Shoulder, Hip, Elbow), And Segment Forecasts, 2020 - 2027

Report Overview

The China arthroscopy market size was valued at USD 291.6 million in 2019 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6% from 2020 to 2027. The market is gaining momentum and witnessing a high demand owing to the increasing prevalence of arthritis and growing joint surgeries, increasing incidence of sports injuries, and increasing penetration of minimally invasive procedures.

The increasing prevalence of arthritis and the growing volume of joint surgical procedures in China is driving the market for arthroscopy. In 2015, the prevalence of arthritis amongst middle-aged and older adults in China was around 31.4%. Also, prevalence of knee OA was around 8.8% (women: 11.0% men: 6.3%), and the total number of knee OA cases in China was 37,542,017 (men: 12,888,827, women: 24,653,190) according to Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI). Furthermore, in 2018, around 300,000 hip replacement surgeries were performed in China.

Estimates published by the WHO suggest that the Chinese population aged 65 and over is projected to increase from 12.4% in 2010 to 28% in 2040. An increase in the geriatric population is expected to lead to a rise in the incidence of obesity and arthritis. An increase in the target population along with a growing preference for minimally invasive surgical procedures is expected to significantly propel the demand for arthroscopy over the forecast period.

Many minimally invasive procedures such as arthroscopy can be performed by using a tiny camera called an arthroscope. The increasing preference for minimally invasive arthroscopic surgeries is expected to contribute to market growth.

However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, elective surgeries related to the knee, shoulder, and hip were postponed. This scenario resulted in slightly lower revenue growth of some market players in 2020.Market players such as Stryker and Smith & Nephew plc experienced a decrease in the demand for arthroscopy devices, among other orthopedic products.

Product Insights

The ablation systems segment dominated the market for arthroscopy and accounted for the largest revenue share of over 45.0% in 2019. Ablation systems are commonly used during arthroscopic surgeries for the removal of soft tissue. The ablations systems segment is driven by factors such as the rising prevalence of chronic pain disorders such as osteoporosis and arthritis and preference for minimally invasive surgeries.In July 2015, Johnson & Johnson (Mitek Sports Medicine) launched VAPR radiofrequency tools (the VAPR TRIPOLAR 90 and VAPR ARCTIC Suction Electrode) to improve soft tissue coagulation and ablation during arthroscopy.

Application Insights

The knee segment dominated the market for arthroscopy and accounted for the largest revenue share of 49.0% in 2019. Knee arthroscopy procedures can be utilized for cruciate ligament reconstruction, cruciate ligament repair, chondroplasty, meniscus repair, removal of loose fragments, and release or excision of tight structures.

The increasing prevalence of knee arthritis, technological advancements, and rapid adoption of arthroscopes in joint replacement surgeries for precision are major factors likely to drive the market for arthroscopy.
