UAE Spinal Surgery Devices Market Analysis

The United Arab Emirates spinal surgery devices market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the country's healthcare systems with significant consequences not only for COVID-19-infected patients but also for others, which resulted in the cancellation of spinal surgeries to manage and reserve resources, and many hospitals experienced a shortage of professionals to assist with these surgeries. For instance, as per an article published by NCBI, in June 2021, about 80% of elective surgical cases were postponed in the country to avoid the spread of coronavirus among the population. This has impacted the demand for spinal surgery devices in the country. However, with the released COVID-19 restrictions, spine surgical procedures have increased which has propelled the demand for surgical devices. Thus, the market has witnessed significant growth after the pandemic and is expected to gain its full potential over the forecast period.

Factors such as the increasing cases of spine injuries and technological advancements in spine surgery are boosting the market growth.

Besides, the incidence of obesity and spinal injuries is increasing as the population with a higher body mass index (BMI) is more vulnerable to spine-related disorders and back pain. The demand for spinal surgeries among obese patients is likely to increase the risk of spinal injuries or deformations which in turn is anticipated to fuel the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, according to an article published in MDPI, in September 2021, it has been observed that non-traumatic spinal cord injuries, such as spinal cord compression, tumor in the spinal cord, inflammatory causes or autoimmune causes, damage from radiation, infection or disruption of blood to the spinal cord, are much more common among the population living in the United Arab Emirates.

Furthermore, minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) offers an alternative to conventional open surgical techniques for treating a variety of spinal problems, including spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, scoliosis, and others. These minimally invasive spine surgeries offer numerous possible benefits such as smaller incisions, less cutting into soft tissues (including ligaments and muscles), outpatient possibilities, reduced post-operative pain, and quicker recovery. Such benefits offered by minimally invasive spine surgery are anticipated to increase its adoption among surgeons, which is expected to augment the market growth over the forecast period.

Moreover, the rising company activities in developing spinal surgery devices are also contributing to the market growth. For instance, in October 2021, NuVasive, Inc. launched Cohere TLIF-O implant and also announced the upcoming launch of the Cohere TLIF-A implant for posterior spine surgery. Also, in January 2022, Auxein Medical launched several orthopedic implants (including spinal implants) and arthroscopy systems at Arab Health. The company's implants and tools empower surgeons in more than 70 countries to carry out minimally invasive surgeries.

Therefore, owing to the factors, such as the high burden of spinal injuries, the diabetic population, and growing product launches, the studied market is anticipated to grow over the forecast period. However, the stringent regulatory process for new product approvals is likely to hinder the growth of spinal surgery devices in the United Arab Emirates over the forecast period.
