- Artificial knee joints, designed to replace damaged or worn-out knee structures, are increasingly vital components of orthopedic treatment plans in both aging and active populations due to their ability to restore mobility, reduce chronic pain, and improve quality of life following degenerative joint diseases or injuries
- The escalating demand for artificial knee joints is primarily fueled by the rising incidence of osteoarthritis, advancements in surgical techniques (including minimally invasive and robotic-assisted procedures), and the growing adoption of customized implant solutions based on patient-specific anatomy
- North America dominated the global artificial knee joint market with the largest revenue share of 40.04% in 2024, characterized by a high volume of knee replacement surgeries, favorable reimbursement policies, and widespread adoption of advanced orthopedic technologies
- Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing region in the global artificial knee joint market, with a CAGR of 8.7% from 2025 to 2032, due to increasing urbanization, expanding geriatric population, and improving access to healthcare facilities across countries such as China, India, and Japan. Government support for joint replacement programs and rising medical tourism are further accelerating market growth in the region
- Cobalt-chromium alloys segment dominated the global artificial knee joint market with a market share of 34.6% in 2024, attributed to its excellent wear resistance, high strength, and proven biocompatibility. These properties make it the preferred choice for total knee replacement procedures, particularly for weight-bearing components such as femoral and tibial parts
