Global Spinal Traction Market Overview

Spinal Traction Market Size was valued at USD 2.20 Billion in 2023. The Global Spinal Traction industry is projected to grow from USD 2.40 Billion in 2024 to USD 4.34 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.82% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032). The need for spinal traction has increased due to the increasing incidence of lower back pain and illnesses of the spinal cord, as well as an ever-growing senior population.

Growing birth defects across all age groups, especially due to changing lifestyles, has further fueled the market for spinal traction. Growing spending to upgrade medical facilities, particularly in developing nations, has increased demand for spinal traction. The market expansion is boosted by an increase in continuous research and development in the healthcare sector to enhance healthcare quality and create new, superior equipment to provide better diagnostic therapy. However, patients with osteoporosis and other types of cancer do not use spinal traction devices, limiting the market's growth. Contrarily, with advances in worldwide spinal traction devices using wireless sensor technology, a vast array of opportunities in the market for spinal traction await.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The coronavirus has spread over practically all developing nations worldwide. The public saw the COVID's effects, which significantly impacted the spinal traction business. The closure of hotels and restaurants signaled a significant economic loss. Quarantines and flight cancellations both happened. Businesses continue to use a variety of tactics and concentrate on managing key activities as the challenge continues on a worldwide scale. Revenues have been adversely impacted across sectors, industries, and all major and developing nations. The public was subject to harsh laws and regulations enforced by the government. There was a widespread lockdown or shutdown.

Spinal Traction Market Trends

Throughout the projection period, it is anticipated that rapid advancements in the healthcare industry, increased screening and awareness of spinal traction, and an increase in the geriatric population will support market growth for spinal traction. Additionally, the market for spinal tractions will experience a significant increase due to infantile spinal abnormalities and the rising occurrence of spinal cord injuries. Furthermore, given the growing prevalence of contemporary surgical techniques, the priorities of surgeons and patients may change shortly. The most recent technologies are also being used in various clinical trials. On the other hand, hospital networks that offer spinal traction are projected to be key players in the market's growth.

Market Drivers

• Demand for spinal traction to increase as more people undergo spinal surgeries

The number of spinal procedures has also dramatically increased due to the increasing prevalence of spine illnesses worldwide. Thus, the requirement for spinal traction grows. Additionally, the market is predicted to grow throughout the forecast period since more people are suffering from spinal fractures. The market is expected to be further stimulated during the forecast period by factors such as the gradual shift and rising demand for minimally invasive spinal surgeries, the quick adoption of biologics in spinal fusion, and a significant increase in the number of cervical and lumbar disc replacements.

Market Restraints:

• Spinal traction contraindications

Patients with back discomfort can benefit from traction, which is recognized to be a safe therapy with therapeutic effectiveness. The clinician must rely on empirical data and opinion because there aren't many studies in the literature that report obvious contraindications to traction. These contraindications include ligamentous instability, spinal infections like osteomyelitis or discitis, severe osteoporosis or osteopenia, primary bone or spinal cord and metastatic tumors, myelopathies, uncontrolled hypertension or vertebral basilar artery insufficiency (for cervical traction), the very young and the very old frail patients, and acute or subacute spinal fractures.

Market Opportunities:

• Launches of products to promote the use of spinal traction

Innovative orthopedic implants and devices that give better care to patients with spinal illnesses have been introduced due to technological breakthroughs in the spinal traction sector. Orthopedic spine devices are likely to see an increase in demand as prominent manufacturers now put a greater emphasis on offering less invasive treatments and personalized implants. Additionally, breakthrough technologies and solutions for spinal operations have been made possible thanks to strategic partnerships between different manufacturers, which are expected to drive the market during the projected timeframe.

Spinal Traction Market Segmentation

Type Insights

The market segments of spinal traction, based on type, is manual spinal traction and mechanical spinal traction. Mechanical spinal traction dominated the market in 2021. Mechanical spinal traction releases spinal pressure and lessens joint, sprain, and spasm pain. Along with other back issues, it can also treat sciatica, degenerative disc disease, pinched nerves, and herniated discs. However, in 2021, manual spinal traction also showed considerable growth due to an increase in the number of neck pains and lower back pains.

Application Insights

The market segments of spinal traction, based on application, is slipped disc, bone spurs, degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, facet disease, sciatica, foramina stenosis, and pinched nerves. The spinal traction market growth was prominently high in the slipped disc sector. The key element driving the sector expansion is the increasing introduction and quick adoption of technologically sophisticated diagnostic medical devices. Additionally, in 2021, the facet disease witnessed considerable growth. The high recurrence rate of sciatica patients, which proves advantageous initially for the sciatica sector and encourages patients to attempt different interventions, is among the factors boosting sector growth.

By region, the market of spinal traction has been categorized into Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America, and the Rest of the World. The fastest CAGR is anticipated for Asia-Pacific during the review period. The largest share of the market was in North America.

North America

North America is anticipated to account for most of the highest share of the market for spinal traction in the coming years due to the high cost of healthcare. The growing popularity of spinal healing technology drives the market for spinal traction in North America. With the rising number of Americans experiencing lower back pain and other ailments related to the spine each year, the United States currently holds a dominant position in the North American market for spinal traction. Additionally, several industry participants are working to implement strategic plans supporting the  spinal traction expansion market.

Asia-Pacific

On the other hand, Asia-Pacific is anticipated to increase quickly due to the rapidly expanding healthcare industry in developing nations like China and India. Additionally, the significant unmet need for treatment choices in these nations will help drive the market for spinal traction expansion in the near term. Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries are also anticipated to help the market grow. In Asia-Pacific, expanding health insurance coverage is also anticipated to fuel the market for spinal traction expansion. The government has announced revisions to the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) items for spinal treatments that will give patients undergoing spinal surgery the proper reimbursement.

Spinal Traction Market Competitive Landscape

There are tier-1, tier-2, and local companies in the market. The market for spinal traction has a few significant competitors and is moderately competitive. For instance, in October 2021, Bioventus announced the completion of its acquisition of Misonix for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition will speed up the adoption of its recently introduced neXus platform for ultrasonic procedures like spinal decompression with the BoneScalpel, tumor ablation in the cranium with SonaStar, and tissue debridement in chronic wounds with SonicOne.
