According to SmartTRAK Spine, the US market for spinal fusion products will reach an estimated $4.4 billion in 2011 and grow at a rate of 1.5% to approximately $4.8 billion in 2015. The SmartTRAK Spine Fusion silo is currently tracking 100 US and OUS companies – more than 80% of those privately held – and more than 630 products on the worldwide market or under development for cervical, thoracolumbar, interbody and MIS fusion used for the treatment of deformity, trauma and degenerative disease.

Also provided is a detailed and continuously updated Market Profile, with 5-year US sales and procedure volumes forecasts, competitive market shares, and regulatory and reimbursement information.

“More than ever with the unprecedented challenges and uncertainty surrounding fusion procedures from both payors and the recession, spinal implant companies need to keep their finger on the pulse of this market which is so fundamental to their business.
