Orthotic Devices Market Overview
Orthotic devices are particularly beneficial for the patients suffering from arthritis, musculoskeletal and orthopedic ailments, deformities and abnormal posture alignment among others. These devices are applied externally and can help correct any abnormalities or biomechanical alignment of the body. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.25% during the forecast period 2018-2023. The Asia-Pacific orthotic devices market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 8.14%, which can be mainly attributed to the technological advances in bulk manufacturing of OTC orthotics.
Orthotic Devices Market Outlook
There are various types of orthotic devices available in the market with each having its own benefit. Based on their manufacturing method, the global orthotics market is divided into two types: prefabricated orthotic devices and custom-made orthotic devices. The share of custom orthotic devices in the overall market is expected to increase in the coming years. Custom orthotics are devices that are manufactured based on specific measurements of the patients and are made to fit and function according to the user’s requirement and condition. The market has been analyzed on the basis of its geographic region comprising of Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World.
Orthotic Devices Market Growth Drivers
Rise in demand for orthotic devices market is mainly driven by aging population prone to osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and other bone disorders, increased bone injury prevalence, and increased sport related problems. The use of orthotic devices worldwide will be encouraged as people increasingly seek alternatives to surgical deformity correction and pain management. Moreover, innovations in this industry are enabling orthotic devices to be easily accessible and more affordable.
Orthotic Devices Market Challenges
Higher cost of custom made orthotic devices is one of the most prominent factors offsetting the growth of the orthotic devices market. Although custom-made orthotic devices have many advantages over the pre-fabricated devices, pre-fabricated devices are widely used owing to affordability and easy availability. The prefabricated devices available in the market presently are technologically advanced and are available in various ranges and sizes used to treat different disorders or diseases.

Orthotic Devices Market Trends
- The emerging technologies such as the 3D imaging and scan, CAM/CAD and so on, will revolutionize the custom-orthotic devices market. In the coming years, these technologies will be easily accessible and will even allow patients to 3D print orthotic devices in the convenience of their own homes. The 3D Printed machine for orthopedic devices holds innovation and novel manufacturing technique these days. For instance, the arm laser scanner, known as the FARO system will be used to make the replica of the lower leg and foot anatomy. This FARO system will do multiple scans and merge to create a single model. Moreover, there is a growing trend of sports personnel using orthotic devices. Athletes often use semi-rigid orthotics in order to provide balance when moving or pronating the feet.
