Hip Resurfacing Implants - Global Pipeline Analysis, Competitive Landscape and Market Forecasts to 2

Global Hip Resurfacing Implants Market is Forecast to Reach About $658m by 2017
Hyderabad, AP, India (prbd.net) 04/05/2011
The global market for hip resurfacing implants was valued at $408.6m in 2010, and is forecast to grow at
a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7% to reach $653m in 2017. The market is expected to be
driven by increasing patient population, increased adoption of minimal invasive procedures, and product innovation. Studies published in the Journal of Clinical Geriatric Medicine entitled Epidemiology of Osteoarthritis show that old age, being overweight or obese, bone density, muscle weakness, and joint laxity all play roles in the development of hip osteoarthritis (OA), particularly in the weight-bearing joints.

Direct-to-consumer campaigns by leading implant manufacturers have also drastically improved patient
awareness about treatment options, shifting the mindset of patients who no longer want to bear the
discomfort of pain. The result is more patients opting for surgery in order to lead a more active lifestyle.

The US market for hip resurfacing implants was valued at $146.5m in 2010, and is forecast to grow at a
CAGR of 7% to reach $237m in 2017. Surgical procedures such as hip resurfacing are gaining popularity
over traditional hip replacement, as they conserve the undamaged portion of the bone. They have shown good medium-term outcomes and are conducive to quick recovery and rehabilitation, as well as inflicting less pain. According to a survey conducted by the hip society, the number of hip arthroplasty procedures in the US grew by 2% in 2009 to 444,600 procedures, of which 4% were hip resurfacings.

Smith & Nephew Plc and Stryker Corporation are the global leaders in the hip resurfacing implants
market, with revenues of $200m, constituting 56% of the market share in 2009. DePuy Inc (12%), Wright
Medical (9%) and Biomet Inc (7%) also have significant share in the global hip resurfacing implants
market. Zimmer’s and DePuy’s product portfolios have become weak after the recall of the Durom Cup
and the ASR hip resurfacing system in 2008 and 2010. Depuy’s product portfolio has only the ADEPT hip
resurfacing system, after the acquisition of Finsbury Orthopedics in 2009.

Emerging technologies such as minimally invasive hip resurfacing procedures, the role of computer aided navigation of hip resurfacing procedures, bearing surface technology, and the benefits of using crosslinked polyethylene for low wear and reduced osteolysis are contributing to the increase in the number of hip resurfacing procedures in younger patients.

Presently, due to the limited lifespan of the artificial joint, young people who are under the age of 40 are generally not recommended surgery, since they will outlive the implant. With superior implant materials increasing the durability, an increasing number of young patients are now choosing the surgery option. Advanced designs have led to the development of high joint stability and functionality, which provide a much better degree of movement. These technological improvements, aimed at returning the maximum degree of function to joints, have made surgery a more viable option for young, active patients.
