Artificial Limbs Market Size is valued at USD 2.42 Bn in 2023 and is predicted to reach USD 3.69 Bn by the year 2031 at a 5.60% CAGR during the forecast period for 2024-2031.

Artificial limbs are a combination of art, science, and technology that seek to enhance the mobility, autonomy, and overall life contentment of those who have lost a limb. Prosthetics are designed to replicate the function and look of a missing limb, improving the overall quality of life for people who have lost a limb. Continuous research and technology advancements consistently expand the limits of prosthetic design and functionality.

The global market is further expected to expand due to the escalating number of amputations performed in various countries, particularly in patients grappling with both peripheral artery disease and diabetes mellitus. This scenario underscores the pivotal role of the lower extremity segment in augmenting market size. Additionally, there's a notable surge in demand anticipated for myoelectric prostheses catering to individuals with varying levels of upper limb loss, presenting promising prospects for market players. Furthermore, the continuous evolution of prosthetic technologies, including advancements in myoelectric sensors, osseointegration, augmented reality, and targeted muscle reinnervation, is poised to fuel market growth.

Recent Developments

• In Jan 2024, Aether Biomedical collaborated with the Superhumans Center to provide bionic prosthetics to individuals from Ukraine who have suffered injuries. The increase in Ukrainian injuries and amputations has led to an ongoing urgent demand for prosthetics in the war-affected nation. 

• In Feb 2023, Ossur recently introduced its POWER KNEE™, the inaugural actively powered microprocessor prosthetic knee designed to assist individuals who have above-knee amputations or limb differences. The POWER KNEE represented a paradigm shift in bionic technology; it was a motor-driven "smart" prosthesis that detected human movement patterns using sophisticated algorithms, then learned and adjusted in real-time to the wearer's pace and cadence.
