According to Facts and Factors, the global artificial tendons and ligaments market size was estimated to be worth roughly USD 19.09 million in 2021 and is predicted to grow to around USD 56.61 million by 2028. The global artificial tendons and ligaments market is predicted to grow at a CAGR of roughly 16.80% during the forecast period.
An area of connective tissue called a ligament binds two bones together. The ligament, a fibrous band of connective fibers, keeps the bones together at the joints and supports the internal organs. The two primary forms of the ligament are the white ligament, which is abundant in collagenous fibers, and the yellow ligament, which is abundant in elastic fibers. An artificial tendon, a strengthening material, is used to replace a damaged tendon. Bio-compatible substances including PET (polyethylene terephthalate), polypropylene, and polyacrylonitrile are used to create artificial tendons (sodium styrene sulfonate). A team of researchers from the University of Utah's biomedical department has developed a method to 3D print human tissue, including tendons and ligaments.

A few of the factors driving the growth of the global artificial tendons and ligaments market include increasing sports injury rates, expanding government programs to raise public awareness of artificial tendons & ligaments, and increasing R&D spending on artificial tendons & ligaments. The global market for artificial tendons and ligaments will expand as a result of the aging population's challenges with tendon and ligament degradation and the rising demand for minimally invasive procedures. The key barriers to the expansion of the global artificial tendons and ligaments market are healthcare professionals' resistance to using artificial tendons and ligaments, the high cost of therapy, and poor reimbursement policies.
The primary element influencing the market is the rise in sports injuries. The majority of injuries sustained when participating in sports are the result of accidents, poor technique, insufficient warm-up & stretching, and a lack of conditioning. Among the most frequent sports injuries among athletes are tennis elbow, ankle sprains, groyne pulls, hamstring strains, and ACL tears.
Furthermore, a sizeable percentage of people are unaware of the safety precautions that are applicable to sports, which can result in a range of minor to severe injuries. Approximately 165,000 sports-related injuries were treated in A&E departments in England in 2016, according to Accident & Emergency (A&E) data made public by the U.K. Parliament.
The global artificial tendons and ligaments market is segmented based on application, end user, and region.
Based on application, the market is segmented into knee injuries, shoulder injuries, foot & ankle injuries, spine injuries, hip injuries, and others. Due to a variety of factors, including an increase in sports participation, an increase in the frequency of knee injuries, discomfort at the harvest site as a result of conventional surgical treatment methods using autografts and allografts, and the advantages of artificial tendons and ligaments over autografts and allografts, the knee injuries segment dominated the global artificial tendons and ligaments market.
The other uses category includes conditions such as hip dislocation, elbow injuries, and spinal injuries. The segment is anticipated to expand rapidly as a result of the rise in entire femoral tumor removals and prosthetic replacement surgeries, both of which have high success rates. Among the significant products in this area are Cousin Biotech's NAJA and IntraSpine, LARS, and InternalBrace.
By end user, the market is divided into hospitals, specialty clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and others. Due to a high risk of postoperative problems and high patient turnover, the hospitals segment led the global artificial tendons and ligaments market. Supportive infrastructure, which assists in efficient operations, will also encourage the adoption of these grafts in hospitals and clinics' end-user facilities.
During the anticipated period, Europe will drive the global artificial tendons and ligaments market growth. The growth of the medical device industry, the low out-of-pocket costs for medical devices, increased government initiatives to promote sports, an increase in conferences, symposiums, and workshops in the UK showcasing the newest sports technologies, an increase in sports-related injuries and knee replacements, and agreements between universities, organizations, and institutions have all contributed to the Europe region currently holding a dominant share of the global market.
