Introduction:

The market for minimally invasive (MI) spine technologies in the US has exhibited strong growth for many years. The market is primarily driven by growth in the MI spinal fusion segment, which makes up the majority of revenues, and the facet fixation market. These markets will be driven by the rising patient demand for MI procedures and the growing adoption of MI techniques by surgeons who are looking to expand their practices and provide patients with a less traumatic alternative to open spine procedures. The markets are limited, however, by heightening issues surrounding the reimbursement of spinal fusions by insurance providers in the US; some private payors are developing stricter criteria that must be met before an approval for coverage will be granted for procedures. Both the intradiscal therapy and discography segments will undergo minimal growth due to issues surrounding reimbursement and decelerated growth of the spine market.

Questions Answered in This Report:
  • MI spine technologies will be impacted by stricter criteria from insurance providers in the US. How will these criteria impact procedure volumes? What is being done about the situation? Which markets will be the most affected and why?
  • Reimbursement issues continue to plague the MI spinal fusion market. Which segments will be impacted and why? How strong will the effects of reimbursement issues be? How is this expected to change over the forecast period?
  • Several large spine players will increase their focus in the facet fixation market. Which competitors will expand their presence in this market? Why will these companies devote more attention to this segment? How will this impact overall MI spine technology market growth? What changes will occur in terms of competitive dynamics as a result?
  • Challenges with reimbursement will continue to negatively impact intradiscal therapies. Which devices will be affected? How severe is the impact of these reimbursement issues? When is this situation expected to improve?
