   Casting and Splinting Products Market


Casts and splints are primarily hard wraps used to support and protect injured bones, tendons, ligaments, and other tissues. They also help to reduce pain and swelling while protecting the injured area from further damage. On the contrary, rising equipment costs, as well as increased risks of compartment syndrome or pressure sores, will act as impediments to the advancement of the casting and splinting market.

The Casting and Splinting Products Market is expected to grow rapidly during the forecast period, owing to an increase in the number of sports and vehicular accidents and other injuries, which is causing an increase in the number of musculoskeletal problems among the population. Furthermore, as this population is more prone to orthopaedic problems, the rapid growth of the geriatric population is expected to fuel demand for casting and splinting. According to United Nations data, approximately 901 million people were over the age of 60 in 2015, with this figure expected to rise to 1.4 billion by 2030 and 2.1 billion by 2050. Advances in technology have influenced vendors to focus on using advanced materials for manufacturing casts and splints, such as fibreglass tape and polyester tape.

These provide high patient compliance in terms of wearing comfort and long-term support, improved X-ray radiolucency, and aid in the prevention or reduction of muscle atrophy and other immobilization-related issues. The availability of casts and splints in a variety of appealing colours and unique paw patterns is also expected to boost casting and splinting product sales globally. The market's growth, however, is expected to be hampered by high equipment costs and the high risk of pressure sores or compartment syndrome.
