Top Companies in Orthopedic Braces & Supports

The global orthopedic braces & supports market is expected to reach USD 4,080.0 million in 2025 and account for USD 5,595.1 million by 2030, with a CAGR of 6.5% from 2025 to 2030. The orthopedic braces & supports market is experiencing steady growth, largely driven by the rising incidence of musculoskeletal conditions. This trend is influenced by several key factors, including an aging population, increased participation in sports and physical activities, and the widespread impact of sedentary lifestyles. With increasing occurrences of back pain, arthritis, and orthopedic injuries, the demand for effective, non-invasive rehabilitation and pain management solutions is growing. Orthopedic braces, known for their affordability and ease of use, are becoming increasingly popular in both clinical settings and home care environments. Despite this growth, a major challenge in the market is the limited reimbursement coverage for orthopedic braces in many developing and low-income countries. This financial barrier often prevents patients from accessing advanced or long-term bracing solutions, thereby restricting broader adoption and market growth.

As of 2024, the key players operating in the global orthopedic braces & supports market are DJO LLC (US), Ossur HF (Iceland), Breg, Inc. (US), Bauerfeind AG (Germany), Essity AB (Sweden), 3M Company (US), Zimmer Biomet (US), Ottobock Healthcare (Germany), Thuasne (France), ALCARE Co., Ltd (Japan), Nippon Sigmax (Japan), Bird & Cronin (US), and DeRoyal Industries (US) among others.
