Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used for the treatment of problematic spinal fractures in the outpatient setting. Conclusive evidence on the efficacy of the procedure, however, is not available. As a result, the procedure’s popularity is declining in developed nations, while the innovative kyphoplasty method is gaining more popularity.
The procedure’s popularity in developing markets, however, is set to increase due to its cheaper price tag, as revealed in another GlobalData report covering the vertebroplasty market in the Middle East and Africa. The market in the region is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.8%, from $4.1m in 2016 to $6.5m by 2023.
Despite the anticipated growth rates, risks associated with vertebroplasties such as cement leakage and subsequent damage to the spinal canal and nerves are expected to affect its popularity, states Jennifer Ryan, Healthcare Analyst for GlobalData.

By GlobalDataThe vertebral compression fracture (VCF) repair products market, including vertebroplasty products, is highly consolidated.
The market is dominated by three orthopaedic conglomerates DePuy Synthes, Medtronic, and Stryker, whose combined market share was approximately 80% in 2016. A number of minor players, including Cook Medical and Osseon, are present in the regional markets.
Well-established orthopaedic portfolios and wide distribution networks have enabled the companies to cross-sell their VCF products. Domestic manufacturers of cheap copycat products, however, pose a threat to these companies in developing countries.
