Factors driving market growth include more orthopedic disorders, aging population, approval of advanced technology and more investments in knee replacement implants.

The company said increasing orthopedic disorders are related to the growing incidence of diabetes and obesity.

In the U.S. specifically, orthopedic disorders affect 1 in 2 adults and 3 in 4 people over the age of 65, with arthritis, trauma and back pain being the most basic orthopedic conditions in the U.S. The number of people in the U.S. 65 years old and over is expected to double by 2030, with people 85 years old and older representing the fastest-growing segment. Comparable statistics are anticipated in Europe, the company said.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
