Key Takeaways of Orthotic Devices, Casts and Splints Market Study

• North America and Europe collectively hold over 60% of the market share
• Innovations to be a key growth driver in the developed countries, with 3D printing to catalyse the process
• Increase in osteoporosis and osteoarthritis to bolster the market in the forecast period

Ankle-Foot Orthosis to witness a Surge in Demand

AFO (ankle-foot orthosis) could be effectively used for supporting weak limbs or normalizing a limb with contracted muscles. Also, musculoskeletal and neurologic disorders cause the foot to drop.

AFOs could be used to control this foot drop as well. As such, AFOs could be used to address deformity as well as functional recovery.

North America, Europe, and Oceania have been witnessing an increase in demand for AFO due to increase in sports injuries. This trend is expected to continue in the forecast period as well.

“Launch of innovative and customized products in western countries coupled with eastern countries shifting towards lightweight fiberglass products to drive the orthotic devices, casts and splints market” – says the FMI analyst.

Future Belongs to 3D Technology

3D printed casts, with their open-lattice plastic design, are available in customized form. They are waterproof and help bones in healing faster.

These casts have upsurged the demand for personalized 3D printed medical devices. 3D printed orthoses are effective in treating children with cerebral palsy as well.
