Market overview

Orthopaedics and spine represent one of the most established, technically demanding, and commercially significant segments within the global medical device industry. The sector continues to demonstrate resilient growth, driven by ageing populations, increasing procedure volumes, technological innovation, and expanding access to surgical care worldwide.


In 2025, the global orthopaedic devices market is estimated at approximately $55–65 billion, with the spinal implants and surgical devices market contributing a further $14–15 billion. Combined, this places the orthopaedics & spine segment in the $70–80 billion+ range globally.

Against an estimated $570+ billion global medical devices market, orthopaedics and spine account for approximately 12–14% of total industry revenue, positioning it among the largest therapeutic device categories globally - alongside cardiovascular and in vitro diagnostics.


  • Estimated global CAGR: ~5–7% (orthopaedics), ~4–6% (spine)
  • Market profile: Large, competitive, and highly relationship-driven
  • Key growth drivers: Degenerative disease, sports injuries, minimally invasive surgery, robotics, biologics, and procedural innovation

Leading Companies in Orthopaedics & Spine

Our Orthopaedics & Spine Recruitment Expertise

Orthopaedics and spine is not a sector that can be covered effectively by generalist recruiters.


It is clinically complex, technically nuanced, and heavily influenced by surgeon preference, product familiarity, and operating-room credibility. Hiring mistakes in this space are costly - commercially, clinically, and reputationally.


At medtechrec, orthopaedics and spine is a core specialism, not an adjacent vertical.

Our work in this field is built on a detailed understanding of:

  • Implant and instrumentation-led commercial models
  • Capital equipment versus consumable revenue structures
  • Distributor, hybrid, and direct sales environments
  • Case coverage, theatre presence, and clinical enablement
  • The dynamics between surgeons, nursing teams, procurement, and hospital systems
     

This allows us to advise clients not only on who to hire, but what profile will succeed given their products, territories, and growth ambitions.
