Sports Medicine Market Dynamics
Drivers: Increasing incidence of sports injuries to drive market growth

Restrains: High cost of orthopedic implants and other devices
The major restraining factor for the growth of sports medicine market is high cost of implants. The cost of these implants is a major concern for market growth in countries such as India, where only a small section of the population is under insurance coverage (according to the IRDA, in 2017, 76% of the Indian population was uninsured). With an overall average cost of more than USD 12,000 in developing countries, affording such a costly treatment is still a big challenge for most of the population.
Opportunities: Expansion and market penetration opportunities in emerging economies.
Emerging countries such as India and China are home to a large patient base and are expected to offer potential growth opportunities for players operating in the sports medicine market primarily due to the rising disposable incomes in these countries (as a result of the rapid economic growth) and increasing participation in sports and physical activities. Also, currently, governments in these countries are undertaking initiatives to expand and modernize their respective healthcare infrastructures.
