Prosthetics Manufacturing in the US industry analysis

Prosthetic manufacturers have been growing over recent years, primarily driven by innovative product designs and manufacturing processes. Prosthetics can help amputees and people born with missing limbs to improve their quality of life through increased mobility, higher functionality and comfort. However, prosthetics can be a costly investment for some patients, making demand for prosthetics partially dependent on the state of the economy. For example, during the pandemic, elevated economic uncertainty caused revenue to grow slower and slayed the average profit margin by less than half. Similarly, elevated inflation resulted in patients postponing large purchases, causing revenue to dip. During these times of weaker demand, a strong US dollar enabled imported prosthetics to account for a larger share of domestic demand, harming sales. These trends have caused revenue to grow at an estimated CAGR of 1.4% to $1.7 billion over recent years, including a 1.7% growth in 2024 alone.

Trends and Insights

  • Demand for prosthetics is impacted by macroeconomic trends. Falling disposable income and weaker consumer confidence discourage consumers from taking on large expenses. During times of unfavorable economic conditions, consumers become less likely to purchase expensive prosthetics.
  • Vascular-related diseases are the cause of most amputations. These diseases can impact the circulatory system, potentially affecting blood flow and resulting in infections.
  • There aren’t many alternatives to prosthetics. Some consumers might opt out of getting a prosthesis and leverage mobility aids, such as canes, crutches and wheelchairs. However, these tools commonly offer less mobility than a prosthetic.
