The China arthroscopy market size is expected to reach USD 495.3 million in 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.0% from 2025 to 2030. Increasing incidence of sports injuries, growing prevalence of arthritis is expected to drive the market over the next few years.
In sports, such as football, basketball, and tennis, knee injuries are most common. Running injuries can result from abrupt stops, tilting, pivoting, jumping, and sharp turns. According to the MedSci-Clinician Development Platform, sports injuries account for 10% - 20% of all injuries in China and are on the rise. The current rate of sports injuries in China is almost identical to that of some developed countries, such as the U.S.
Arthroscopy is the most effective treatment for major sports injuries. It is a minimally invasive procedure that is suggested for sports injuries in cases where open surgery is not required. Arthroscopy is commonly performed to repair knee and shoulder injuries, such as ACL tears, SLAP, and Bankart labral tears, meniscus tears, AC joint arthritis and separations, shoulder joint fractures, bursitis, and impingement, torn rotator cuffs, and cartilage damage, and ligament tears. All these factors, thereby, propel the growth of the market.
However, the sudden onset of the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the market. Postponement of surgeries related to knee, shoulder, hip, and other joints resulted in declining sales of arthroscopy devices.
