Segment Analysis

Cervical is representing the largest market share in the clinical applications segment for the flexible spinal implants market. Rising prevalence of osteoporosis in the baby boomer population worldwide is the major contributing factor for the cervical spine degeneration. As per the latest information provided by the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF), approximately 8.9 million osteoporotic fracture occurs annually worldwide, further clinical studies suggest that over 35% of them are associated with the cervical spine region. Lumbar will be registering comfortable market growth during the forecast period on account of the significant increase in the number of young athletes suffering from mid and lower back trauma occurring due to physical and sports activities related to gymnasium and weightlifting throughout the globe.

Hospitals & clinics are currently dominating the end-user segment for the flexible spinal implants market. A significant increase in the number of traumatic accidents worldwide and affordable reimbursement scenario associated with the spinal surgeries in the government-sponsored hospitals drive the market growth. Ambulatory surgical centers are expected to register excellent market growth in the near future on account of the proactive government initiatives adopted by the government healthcare agencies to promote ambulatory surgical centers to reduce the healthcare cost and burden associated with inpatients treatment in primary health care centers across the globe.

North America is presently leading the geography segment for the flexible spinal implants market. Rising prevalence of spinal injuries inflicted due to a significant rise in traumatic accidents due to vehicle collision on highways primarily drives the flexible spinal implants market growth in the region. The existence of well-developed healthcare infrastructure and domicile of major players such as Stryker Corporation, Medtronic, Plc., Abbott Spine, Inc., etc. further accentuate the market growth in the region. Europe is the second-largest regional segment due to the supportive regulatory environment provided by the European Medical Agency for the sale and distribution of flexible spine implants market. The Asia Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest-growing regional segment for the flexible spinal implants market. Significant rise in the number of spinal injuries associated with sports activities such as gymnastics and weightlifting and increasing demand for minimally invasive surgical spinal procedures together propel the market growth in the Asia Pacific region.
