Impact Analysis of Covid-19
The complete version of the Report will include the impact of the COVID-19, and anticipated change on the future outlook of the industry, by taking into the account the political, economic, social, and technological parameters.
Increasing incidence of spinal disorders and increasing awareness among patients about disc replacement are expected to drive growth of the lumbar disc replacement device market. Continuous improvement in surgical procedure and advantages of minimally invasive surgery procedures have significantly contributed to the growing demand for spine surgeries that is responsible for boosting growth of the lumbar disc replacement device market. Lumbar disc replacement is a type of spine surgery that involves replacement of a damaged or degenerated disc of spine with an artificial lumbar disc replacement device in the lumbar region. Moreover, lower back pain is a major health issue across the world and it is one of the major cause of disability in human being. Lower back pain may be acute, sub-acute or chronic type. Most of the risk factors associated with back pain include occupational posture, obesity, and age. Moreover, changing lifestyle, high work load, and lack of exercise are some of the common factors that are responsible for lower back pain.
Furthermore, increasing prevalence of lower back pain is expected to boost growth of the lumbar disc replacement device market. For instance, according to the Spinal Cord Injury report data, in 2019, it was estimated that incidence of spinal cord injury (SCI) was around 54 cases per 1 million population in the U.S in 2019. In the same year the prevalence of SCI was estimated to be around 291,000 number of patients in the U.S.

Lumbar Disc Replacement Device Market - Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic
The spread of coronavirus is negatively impacting the sales of lumbar disc replacement device market which are majorly used for spine surgeries as many surgeries were cancelled due to COVID-19 pandemic. As of July 2020, in some areas, non-essential orthopedic procedures are now resuming. During the pandemic at its peak in March 2020, the hospitals in Italy that were conducting essential lumbar disc replacement surgery were taking extra safety measures to ensure the safety of patients, doctors and other hospital staff. The patients were tested during the admission and were retested before the surgery.
The global lumbar disc replacement device market is estimated to be valued at US$ 740.3 million in 2020, and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 13.5% over the forecast period (2020-2027).

Lumbar Disc Replacement Device Market - Regional Insights
On the basis of region, the global lumbar disc replacement device market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa. North America is expected to be the most lucrative region for growth of the lumbar disc replacement device market over the forecast period due to expansion that covers multiple indication use for lumbar disc devices in the U.S. For instance, in 2019, Centinel Spine, LLC received additional expanded coverage from North American Spine Society (NASS) to use its prodisc L lumbar artificial disc in clinical indication of lumbar levels L3 to L4. This expansion helps surgeons to provide broader spectrum of treatment options to spinal injury patients.
Asia Pacific lumbar disc replacement device market growth is attributed to increasing awareness about advanced spine surgeries among the healthcare professionals. Medical conferences conducted on spine surgical techniques in this region that provides platform for researcher, companies, and surgeons to share their insights about techniques of spinal surgeries. For instance, in 2019, the Philippine Spine Society (PSS) and Philippine General Hospital (PGH) organized 5th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Minimally Invasive Spine Surgical Techniques (MISST) conference, which was held in Manila Hotel, Manila, National Capital Reg, Philippines. The conference was focused on application of minimally invasive techniques in the area of cervical, thoracic, and lumbosacral spine surgeries.
