Overview:

Growing rates of spinal injuries such as degenerative disc disease or deformity have propelled the rise in investments in research activities by industrial players for the treatment and stabilization of the thoracolumbar spine. According to spinalcord.com around 2,45,000 to 3,53,000 Americans were projected to live with spinal cord injuries in 2017. Traditional open surgeries required prolonged hospital stay and are extensively painful. The need for new minimal invasive technology is increasing among healthcare providers and patients. Simplifying spinal surgeries is on a rise thus contributing to the overall growth of thoracolumbar spine devices market.

On December 7 2017, PEEK-OPTIMA HA enhanced vertebral body replacement system was granted US FDA 510(k) clearance. The device enables fine adjustments of heights and lordosis using spacers and endplates. It also comprises of a hollow centre and holes to accommodate auto-graft and encourage growth of new bone. On October 25 2017, Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. launched Vitality+ and Vital Spinal Fixation Systems in United States. Vital Spinal Fixation system offers a compact solution for degenerative thoracolumbar procedures. Advent of such new technologies and continuous research initiatives ensures lucrativeness throughout the period from 2018 to 2026. Implant devices are expected to contribute majorly to the overall market owing to lower side effects, attainment of better quality of life, and highest preference to geriatric population who are prone to spinal diseases.  However, highly priced devices and procedures, requirement of skilled healthcare professional and lack of structured reimbursement policies in low and middle-income economies would hamper the geographic expansion of thoracolumbar spinal devices market and negatively affect the overall market growth.
