Middle East and Africa Medical Screws and Plates Market Growth Factor

Growing Prevalence of Osteoporosis in Males and Females

Osteoporosis presents a substantial burden, affecting both individuals and society at large. The annual occurrence of fractures exceeds 8.9 million, indicating a frequency of one fracture every 3 seconds, thereby highlighting its significant impact. Based on data from the International Osteoporosis Foundation, it is estimated that osteoporosis affects around 200 million women worldwide.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a notable proportion of individuals aged 50 and above, specifically 4.2% of men and 18.8% of women, encounter osteoporosis in either the femur neck or lumbar spine. The escalating prevalence of osteoporosis patients has resulted in a growing need for medical screws and plates to facilitate fracture management and repair. Consequently, it is expected that the market for these products will experience increased growth.

Restraining Factor

Potential Complications during Internal Bone Fixation

Choosing implants that are either too small or too large, inadequate screw fixation, improper shaping of plates, incorrect placement of plates and screws, and the lack of cancellous bone grafts at the fracture site can result in complications like infections, delayed bone healing, and damage to the construct. Failing to follow proper plate application principles significantly raises the risk of these complications, which are expected to hinder the market's growth in the projected period.

Market Opportunity

Lucrative Pockets for Businesses: Emerging Market

Emerging economies offer promising growth opportunities for established and new market players. This is primarily driven by factors such as a rising prevalence of osteoporosis, a sizable patient population, expanding healthcare infrastructure, a growing elderly demographic, and improved disease diagnosis and treatment awareness. Furthermore, market participants are actively focused on product development, innovation, and technological advancements, which are expected to impact market growth and drive significant demand soon positively.

Regional Analysis

The Middle East and Africa medical screws and plates market is segmented by country: the Middle East and Africa. The Middle East dominated the market with a CAGR of 8.09% during the forecast period.

Material Insights

It is further segmented into stainless steel, titanium, nitinol, and others. Stainless steel dominated the market and is expected to register a CAGR of 5.91% over the forecast period. Due to its high biomechanical properties ('E' = 200 20 GPa, ductility, etc.), corrosion resistance, bio inertness, and cost-effectiveness compared to other biocompatible metals, Stainless Steel (e.g., 316L) is one of the most preferred biomaterials for bone plates.

Type Insights

It is further segmented into upper extremity and lower extremity. Lower extremity dominated the market and is expected to register a CAGR of 5.10% over the forecast period. Internal fixation medical equipment is what you may call things like metal plates, screws, and nails. They are frequently employed during fracture treatment because of their ability to stabilize and support a shattered bone. As the most common type of surgery performed worldwide, procedures using screws and plates generate a large chunk of income.

End-Users Insights

It is further segmented into hospitals and clinics, orthopedic clinics, and ambulatory surgical centers. Hospitals and clinics dominated the market and are expected to register a CAGR of 5.74% over the forecast period. A hospital is a center for primary health care, providing specialized treatment services administered by trained medical personnel. In addition, the number of hospitals is increasing worldwide. In hospitals, the presence of advanced apparatus and a secure environment for surgical procedures facilitates the use of products.
