Increasing Prevalence of Degenerative Disc Diseases Driving Artificial Disc Demand

 The rising incidence of degenerative disc diseases is fueling the demand for artificial discs across the world. According to the observations of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), which is a branch of the U.S. government’s National Institutes of Health, 266 million people around the world are diagnosed with lumbar degenerative disc disease every year, with Europe recording the highest incidence of the disease (5668 people out of every 100,000 individuals). 


Apart from the growing prevalence of the degenerative disc disease, the soaring geriatric population is also positively impacting the worldwide demand for artificial discs. According to the 2020 World Population Ageing report published by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA), the population of people aged 65 years or above all over the world will rise from 727 million in 2020 to more than 1.5 billion by 2050. As geriatric people are highly vulnerable to the degenerative disc disease, their surging population is fueling the demand for artificial discs.

This was less than the average cost of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) for the same duration, that is, $39,000. Due to these factors, the popularity of artificial disc replacement is surging sharply, which is, in turn, fueling the expansion of the global artificial disc market. According to the forecast of the market research company, P&S Intelligence, the market value will grow from $1.0 billion in 2017 to $3.4 billion by 2024. Furthermore, the market is expected to progress at a CAGR of 18.8% from 2018 to 2024.

Artificial disc replacement procedures are required for treating both cervical and lumbar disc degenerative diseases. Between these, the demand for these procedures was found to be higher for treating cervical disc degenerative diseases in 2017. This is credited to the high incidence of cervical-related health issues across the world. Geographically, the popularity of artificial discs was found to be the highest in North America in 2017, mainly because of the existence of well-established disc producing companies in the region.
