The global orthopedics market is valued at approximately $55 billion in 2026 and is growing at approximately 4-5% annually, driven by aging populations in developed markets, rising surgical volumes in emerging markets, and the commercial momentum of robotic-assisted surgery. The market is concentrated among a small number of large-scale suppliers — Stryker, DePuy Synthes/J&J, Zimmer Biomet, Smith & Nephew, and Medtronic collectively accounting for the majority of global revenues — alongside a tier of focused innovators including Arthrex, Globus Medical, and Enovis.
Robotic-assisted surgery is the most commercially consequential technology transition in orthopedics since the introduction of cementless fixation. Stryker's Mako platform with over 1,800 installed systems globally has established a virtuous commercial cycle that competitors are racing to replicate. Zimmer Biomet's ROSA, Globus Medical's ExcelsiusGPS, DePuy Synthes's Velys, and Smith & Nephew's CORI represent the competitive response — but Mako's installed base lead and pull-through model create a durable competitive moat that will take years to close.
