Research and Markets: Global Markets for Spinal Nonfusion Technologies 2009-2013: IPD - PSBDS - CADs - LADs - AR - FA - NPDs

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/cf3069/global_markets_for) has announced the addition of the "Global Markets for Spinal Nonfusion Technologies 2009-2013" report to their offering.

“Global Markets for Spinal Nonfusion Technologies 2009-2013”

The global market for spinal non-fusion technologies, comprising sales of interspinous process decompression (IPD) devices, pedicle screw-based dynamic stabilization (PSBDS) systems, cervical artificial discs (CADs), lumbar artificial discs (LADs), nuclear disc prostheses (NDPs), annulus repair (AR) devices, and facet arthroplasty (FA) devices, will expand robustly over the forecast period. This will largely be attributed to the aging population because a number of spinal pathologies, such as degenerative disc disease, are age related. Moreover, a greater volume of patients will pursue spinal non-fusion over the alternative, spinal fusion, due to its motion-preserving benefits.

The market will, however, be limited by cost containment initiatives, particularly during the economic downturn. Governments and hospitals are placing pressure on manufacturers to lower their device prices, thus impeding average selling price (ASP) growth. Despite this, as new non-fusion devices are introduced and physicians and patients become more aware of their benefits, procedure volumes will rise. The global spinal non-fusion technology market will therefore expand at a strong compound annual growth rate through 2013.

Questions answered in this report:

Many new non-fusion technologies and devices are expected to enter the global market over the forecast period, such as the M6-L LAD from Spinal Kinetics and the Barricaid AR device from Intrinsic Therapeutics. How will the introduction of new technologies affect the growth of the overall market? Which technologies are expected to be the most successful in terms of revenues and growth? How will pricing adjust as new technologies are developed and adopted?
The economic downturn has impacted the global spinal non-fusion technology market to some degree. Which countries have been impacted most by the recession? To what extent?
Reimbursement concerns continue to impede the adoption of some spinal nonfusion technologies around the world. How will the lack ofor limitedreimbursement affect market growth for affected devices in each country? Are more favorable reimbursement decisions expected over the forecast period for devices and treatments with previously poor reimbursement rates?
