Hammertoe Market Share

ID: MRFR//2828-CR | 104 Pages | Author: Kinjoll Dey| August 2019

In conclusion, the growing challenges associated with hammertoe are being met with continuous innovations in technology. These advancements not only enhance the treatment options available but also empower individuals to actively participate in the management of their foot health. As technology continues to evolve, the landscape of hammertoe solutions is expected to witness further improvements, offering hope for better outcomes and improved quality of life for those affected by this condition.

The hammertoe market has two main types: flexible and rigid.

Flexible Hammertoe:

Description: This type allows the toe joints to move and straighten.

Characteristics: Even though flexible hammertoes can be moved, they can still cause pain and irritation. They might lead to the development of corns and calluses.

Importance of Treatment: It's crucial to treat flexible hammertoes, despite their ability to move. If left untreated, they can cause discomfort and foot issues

Rigid Hammertoe

Description: Rigid hammertoes lose their flexibility, and the joints become immovable.

Similar Problems: Rigid hammertoes typically cause similar problems to flexible ones, such as pain, irritation, and the development of corns and calluses.

Tight Tendons: In this type, the tendons become so tight that the joint becomes misaligned and fixed in place.

Progression: Once a hammertoe reaches the rigid stage, the symptoms may become more severe, and the toe's overall function is likely to be lost.

Statistics on Hammertoe Surgeries:

According to Andrew Park, Senior Manager at iDATA Research, a global medical device and pharmaceutical market intelligence firm, there were 648,000 hammertoe surgeries in the US in 2017.

In summary, hammertoes come in two main types: flexible, which can still move but cause discomfort, and rigid, which lose flexibility and can lead to more severe symptoms. Treating both types is important to prevent complications and maintain proper foot function. Additionally, the significant number of hammertoe surgeries highlights the prevalence of this condition and the need for effective treatments.

 
 

Hammertoe Market Overview


Hammertoe Market Size was valued at USD 0.7 Billion in 2023. The Global Hammertoe industry is projected to grow from USD 1.2 Billion in 2024 to USD 2.9 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.32% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032).Hammertoe is a feet-related problem, in which the feet bend permanently. 

Hammertoe Market

The problem occurs due to an imbalance in ligaments and muscles that hold the toe straight. Hammertoe bends the toe downward instead of keeping it straight. One of the reasons causing hammertoe includes wearing a small size or narrow shoes that bend the toe. Other reasons that can cause hammertoe include vein or muscle damage, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, stroke, Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease, and other feet problems. The discomfort and pain caused due to hammertoe can be controlled by changing the footwear. Usually, hammertoe occurs due to wrong selection of shoes that affects toe muscles, but in some cases, this problem may be present by birth itself. 

The increasing prevalence of arthritis and growing R&D expenditure in the healthcare industry boost market growth. However, factors such as complications and pain associated with surgeries, the risk of infections during surgical treatments and hospital stay, and the lack of awareness are expected to hinder the hammertoe correction systems market growth.

Hammertoe Market Dynamics


Arthritis is a common joint-related problem, which may occur due to osteoporosis and age. Arthritis is one of the reasons causing hammertoe at any age. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in February 2018, it was reported that the prevalence of arthritis is increasing with age. It has also been estimated that 54.4 million of the population has been diagnosed with arthritis, in which 23.4 % of women and 18.1% of men had arthritis. It was predicted that 78.4 million people above 18 years are likely to be diagnosed with arthritis by 2040 in the US. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of arthritis among the population will boost the hammertoe correction systems market growth.
