According to Technavio’s report, lateral lumbar interbody fusion is minimally invasive surgery recommended for treating lumbar spinal disorders such as spondylolisthesis, lumbar degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, and recurrent lumbar disc herniation.
Technavio’s lead research analyst, Brahadeesh Chandrasekaran, specializing in research on general medical devices says, “The increasing incidence of degenerative diseases such as spondylolisthesis, degenerative scoliosis, and spinal stenosis is likely to create more demand for spinal surgeries.”
Vendor competitive landscape
According to the new report by Technavio, the LLIF market in the US mark the presence of large, well-established vendors as well as new and emerging companies. The market is subject to rapid change and is significantly affected by new product launches and other market activities of key industry participants.
The report lists Medtronic, DePuy Synthes, and Stryker as the leading players in the market, but these players are continuously losing their market share to smaller players such as Globus Medical. And though the leading companies hold dominant positions in the market, innovation and better product development can alter the market dynamics. Therefore, vendors are increasingly investing in research, product launches and gaining regulatory approvals to enhance their foothold in the market.
