Scoliosis Management Market Size, Share and Global Trend By Product Type (Orthosis system, Spinal system), By Disease Type (Idiopathic scoliosis, Neuromuscular scoliosis, Degenerative scoliosis, Others), By Age (Adults, Pediatrics), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Scoliosis is one of the most common spinal deformity, especially among children. According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, 442,900 office visits, 133,300 hospital visits, and 17,500 emergency room visits are made by children with scoliosis annually. Scoliosis is the abnormal rotational and lateral curvature of the spine. Scoliosis impacts a person’s body posture as the spine curves and bends to one side.

Scoliosis can be a birth defect or idiopathic. When compared to adults, scoliosis is more common in adolescents. In adults, scoliosis is caused mainly due to the degeneration of the spine as a result of weak ligaments, spondylosis, and others. The treatment of scoliosis is by the use of braces or orthosis, which are required to be worn all the time to fix the body, however when the severity is high, surgery is done by the use of spinal fixation implants.

The growth in global scoliosis management market is estimated to be driven by the greater adoption of implants in orthopedic, an increase in the number of scoliosis surgery and development of scoliosis spinal system having MRI conditions clearance. In addition, the increasing prevalence of congenital and idiopathic scoliosis especially in adolescents is also anticipated to fuel the global scoliosis management market in the projected years.

The incidences of skins rashes and irritation due to wearing braces continuously for long hours and limited knowledge of treatment options for scoliosis are a major factor that can hamper the growth in global scoliosis management market.
