The growing prevalence of weakened bones & bone density, musculoskeletal disorders among children, and the rising risk of degenerative bone disorders fuel the demand for pediatric orthopedic devices. Moreover, the availability of advanced orthopedic implants and rapid development in healthcare infrastructure globally are anticipated to influence market growth. For instance, according to data published by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, in Australia, around 2,600 juvenile arthritis hospitalizations (any diagnosis) were recorded for people aged 0 to 24 in 2020 - 2021.The increase in sports activities or participation among children has resulted in a higher incidence of sports-related injuries, boosting the need for pediatric orthopedic equipment. For instance, according to Stanford Medicine Children's Health, approximately 30 million children and teens participate in sports-related activities, resulting in over 3.5 million injuries annually in the U.S. Almost one-third of all childhood injuries are sports-related.

Moreover, regulatory bodies and policymakers in developed countries are actively researching and reviewing reimbursement coverage for orthopedic procedures. They examine the time involved in hourly office reimbursements and surgical work and the coverage offered for these services. Thus, a greater focus on reimbursement coverage aims to ensure fair compensation for healthcare providers and promote equitable patient access to orthopedic surgeries. These positive reforms in reimbursement coverage positively impact the market growth.
