Global Cast Saw Devices Market Report and Forecast 2024-2032

Global Cast Saw Devices Market Outlook

The global cast saw devices market size was valued at USD 188.57 million in 2023, driven by the increasing number of hip injuries in geriatric population across the globe. The market size is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.3% during the forecast period of 2024-2032 to achieve a value of USD 275.45 million by 2032.

Cast Saw Devices: Introduction

A cast saw is an oscillating power tool used to remove orthopaedic casts. Unlike a circular saw with a rotating blade, a cast saw uses a sharp, small-toothed blade rapidly oscillating or vibrating back and forth over a very small angle to cut material. This device is often used with a cast spreader.

The patient's skin frequently encounters the cast saw blade without cutting, although it can cause lacerations when used over bony. The design enables the saw to cut rigid materials, such as plaster or fiberglass while soft tissues such as skin move back and forth with the blade, dissipating the shear forces, preventing injury. A general technique in the use of cast saw often involves a demonstration before cutting the cast.

Global Cast Saw Devices Market Analysis

The consumption of a balanced diet is rapidly declining with the fast-paced lifestyles of the consumers. This leads to the lack of important nutrients in the body which are responsible for strengthening the bones. This lack of calcium, protein, vitamin D, and magnesium, among others is leading to higher prevalence of fractures and other bone related injuries, eventually contributing to the cast saw devices market share.

The introduction of new and technologically advanced products is also propelling the growth of the market. A study has also been conducted to evaluate the efficacy of this new novel method which concluded that it certainly possesses high efficacy and accuracy levels. This innovation also reduces the removal up to 10 minutes depending on the cast size, leading to patient outcomes as well as convenient for the operator, further propelling the global cast saw devices market growth. Another novel method that involves the use of externally guided aids for skin protection during the removal of cast has been developed in the market to improve the patient and operator experience, expected to boost the market growth.

According to data posted on International Osteoporosis foundation IOF website, the global rates of hip fractures are predicted to almost double by 2050. Hip fractures are the most morbid osteoporosis-related fractures, with mortality rates up to 20–24% recorded in the first year following a hip fracture. Hip fractures are also an important global public health issue that have a negative impact on patients' quality of life and healthcare systems everywhere.

The global market for cast saw devices is witnessing significant growth and is expected to grow further in coming years as well due to the increasing cases of bone injuries globally. These injuries are caused majorly by accidents, osteoporosis, and fragile bones in people across the globe. The most frequently observed injuries often encompass both isolated soft tissue injuries and fractures that are a major result of high-energy trauma, such as accidents or forceful impacts.

Global Cast Saw Devices Market Overview

The global market for cast saw is gaining continuous traction and is expected to keep gaining more traction due to the rise in orthopaedic procedures. There is a surge in the number of sports injuries, and there's an increasing number of cases of trauma from accidents. The rising cases of accidents, physical damages due to accidental falls with ageing, and osteoporosis are continuously contributing to the global cast saw devices market growth. The increasing geriatric population is also fuelling the market growth due to the high susceptibility of older people towards accidental falls and having less bone density is a major factor. According to WHO research published in October 2021, by the year 2030, one in six people on earth would be 60 years of age or older. The rise in osteoporotic fractures and accidental fractures directly aids the cast saw devices market size.

The rising demand for battery-operated saw devices due to the rising adoption by healthcare providers is likely to act as a key driver for the market. These battery-operated cast saw devices offer several advantages, such as the display of the optimum speed required for the procedure, the activation of the device after applying pressure, a lesser weight compared to other types of devices, along with the wireless operation, which ensures more convenience to the user.

North America is expected to dominate the global market during the forecast period of 2024-2032. The rising numbers of growing sports injuries, along with increasing geriatric population with osteoporosis in this region, is expected to aid the cast saw devices market share. The increased awareness of cast removal devices, rising healthcare expenditures, and the adoption of advanced healthcare infrastructure in the region, and new techniques in the removal of casts using cast saw devices increase the scope of the market.
