Research Methodology
Secondary Research
The research team conducted a comprehensive review of secondary information sources, including Frost &
Sullivan in-house databases, previous research services, online databases, trade journals, and the Internet. The
team then drew up a research plan on the basis of the research objectives and resources allotted. The research
plan primarily consisted of the following.
Research Instruments
The best research instrument suitable for this project was identified as an open-ended questionnaire, developed
separately for different types of target candidates, namely manufacturers, distributors, end users, and industry
experts. These instruments were made and checked for clarity, thoroughness, and to find if they motivated the
candidates to respond. Duplication and overlaps allowed corroboration and cross-checking of data.
Primary Research
Frost & Sullivan obtained primary data directly from industry participants. The analysts' finely honed interviewing
skills enabled the team to elicit valuable strategic information from industry participants. Using Frost & Sullivan's
uniquely designed research techniques, the analysts were able to obtain information invaluable for identifying
trends, threats, and opportunities in the marketplace. Primary research is focused on interviewing key personnel
of relevant companies and organizations. In addition, the research team interviewed end users and industry
experts from government and trade associations.
P54D-54 19
Research Methodology (Contd)
'Bottom-up' Approach
Frost & Sullivan used a 'bottom-up' methodology to assess the market, where each final market measurement
represents the sum of many detailed, bottom-rung measurements. Frost & Sullivan calculated the market size by
interviewing each market competitor and deriving their revenues, average selling price, and unit volume. To
calculate total market size, the analyst team first cross-verified all measurements and then added them to derive
the final measurement of the total market
'Bottom-up' versus 'Top-down' Approach
The 'top-down' approach is to ask a few participants to estimate the total size of the market, assess its growth
rate, and make a forecast. These numbers are then averaged to make a final projection. This methodology is
commonly used, but it is highly imprecise and can lead to serious problems when used to make strategic
decisions. This approach assumes that the average market participant has a strong perception of measurements
of an entire market segment or industry. Frost & Sullivan has found that it is often not so. It is very rare for a
spokesperson to accurately portray the intricacies of his/her own company, let alone gauge the entire market
segment or industry. Frost & Sullivan has, thus, chosen a 'bottom-up' approach to market measurement.

P54D-54 23
Common Indications for Joint Replacements
Following are the common indications associated with the joints that might require replacement:
For patients above the age of 55 to 60 years, secondary osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis in the
knee joint is the most common indication.
Incongruence of knee or hip joints after a traumatic surgery is another indication.
Fractures resulting from avascular necrosis (resulting in secondary arthritis) in patients aged above
60 years and traumatic fractures damaging acetabulum for the younger ones are the most common
indications for the hip joints that require replacement surgery. Total replacement is performed in
India only in case of avascular necrosis.
Tumor is one of the rare indications. In case of tumor, a surgeon needs to order an implant designed
according to the patients requirements.
Joint problems can be experienced even by young people. At present, several people aged below 40
years are suffering from arthritis due to fast-paced, sedentary city life.
P54D-54 24
Types of Joint Replacement Surgeries
During a replacement surgery, either an entire joint or a part of it is replaced with an artificial implant
known as prosthesis to improve and enhance the functioning of the joint.
Total Replacement Surgery
Total Replacement Surgery The surgical procedure to replace a joint entirely with an artificial
prosthesis is called as total replacement surgery. The total replacement prosthesis looks exactly like
the human body joint.
Two types of replacement surgeries can be performed based on the type of implant used, as
discussed below.
Cemented - In the total cemented replacement surgery, artificial implants
metal part is fixed on to bone by a type of epoxy cement called polymethyl
methacrylate (PMMA).
Cementless - The uncemented joint is a porous implant. After the surgery,

the bone is expected to grow into and through the pores in the implant,
thereby securing the implant.
P54D-54 25
Types of Joint Replacement Surgeries (Contd)
Partial Replacement Surgery

Partial Replacement Surgery- Partial replacement surgery is performed when the damage is
restricted to a single compartment of a joint. In such cases, the damaged area is shaved off and is
replaced with an appropriate artificial component. This technique is less complicated and less
invasive, and it enables a patient to perform the regular activities and recover much faster, even within
six weeks. Artificial component used in this surgery can be either of the following two types, based on
whether the surgery is done to the hip or knee joint.
Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (UKA) Prosthesis- This type of

prosthesis is used when any one of the three compartments (medial, lateral,
and patellofemoral) of a knee needs to be replaced. This type of prosthesis is
called as uni-spacer, which is a metal disc in the form of an articular condyle.
During surgery, the damaged bone is resected and resurfaced. The uni-spacer
is then placed within the damaged bone to unload the diseased compartment.
Bipolar Hip Joint Replacement Prosthesis - In this type of prosthesis, the set
consists of two balls. The external ball matches the size of acetabulum, while
the internal one matches that of femur head. The femoral component (internal
ball) is fixed into bone, but the acetabular component (external ball) is not
fixed in the acetabulum, thus allowing the cup to move freely in the socket.
P54D-54 26
Types of Joint Replacement Surgeries (Contd)
Revision Replacement Surgery

Revision Replacement Surgery Usually, implants have a shelf life of 15 to 20 years. Hence, when a
replacement surgery is done in younger patients, there are chances for the prosthesis to deteriorate.
In such cases a revision surgery is done to replace a worn out prosthesis. This procedure is also called
revision arthroplasty. Revision joint replacement surgery is often more complicated, with less predictable
results.
P54D-54 27
Materials Used for Prosthesis
The orthopedic prosthesis are made of different materials, mostly metal, plastic, and ceramic.
Selection of a material depends on its qualities such as strength (weight-bearing capacity),
biocompatibility, and wearing rate.
This is one of the most commonly used types of prosthesis. In this prosthesis,
head and stem of a joint are made up of metal, while the cup is made of plastic.
Metal on Plastic The metals used include titanium, stainless steel, and cobalt chrome. The plastic
is cross-linked polyethylene. Such implants can be used for both cemented as
well as non-cemented replacement surgeries.
Both the bearing surfaces (the ball and cup component) on the metal-on-metal
prosthesis are made of metal. These implants are more resistant than the metal-
Metal on Metal on-plastic ones. Despite the low wear rates, metal-on-metal implants will not last
longer. There are also concerns about the wear debris generated by these
implants
Ceramic-on-ceramic implants have the lowest wearing rate and are scratch
resistant. These are also smoother than the metal-on-metal ones. Commonly
Ceramic on used ceramics are alumina or zirconia ceramics. These implants are designed to
Ceramic be the most resistant among all available replacement implants. However, no
long-term data are available on how well these implants work over time.

Overview
According to international statistics, joint-related diseases account for about half of all chronic conditions
in people aged 60 years and more. Moreover, experts predict that the number of individuals aged above
50 years is expected to increase two-fold between 1990 and 2020, which will have a significant bearing
on the burden of orthopedic diseases.
It is estimated that more than 150.0 million Indians are suffering from joint-related problems. A study
done in 2005 revealed that 22 to 39 percent of the Indian population seems to suffer from painful
osteoarthritis, and about 50 percent of them feel that it has a significant impact on their life, work, and
finances1.
Despite this, orthopedic conditions do not receive the attention they deserve, both from the patient as
well as doctors. "The lack of attention by the medical profession, policy-makers and the media is due to
the perception that orthopedic diseases are less serious. Unlike cardiovascular disease, AIDS and
cancer, they are largely chronic, non-fatal conditions and tend to be seen as an inevitable consequence
of ageing says Professor Lars Lidgren, Department of Orthopedics, Lund University Hospital, Sweden
and Chairman of the International Steering Committee, Bone and Joint Decade.
Rise in aged population may be one of the reasons for increasing orthopedic diseases, but it is not the
only reason; an active lifestyle and high life expectancy also result in increased wear of joints.

Overview (Contd)
The advancements in the field of orthopedics treatment in India are in the same pace of that in other
developed countries. The latest techniques and equipment to handle this probable epidemic are also
available in India, and today/at present, world-renowned surgeons are practicing the latest surgery
techniques in our hometown/the country.
India is expected to be the forerunner in terms of research, treatment options, and revenue generation in
the orthopedic segment, in the time to come.
The orthopedics market in India has witnessed a major boon, mainly due to the increased spending
capacity of the Indian population.
On the surgical front, main revolution is minimal invasive approach aided by computer guided surgery,
which means less morbidity and lesser hospital stay for patients. Dr. Parag Sancheti, Medical Director,
Sancheti Institute of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation, Pune, says The accuracy in surgery can be
increased by using computer navigation and longevity is increased by using better metals and
polyethylene for prosthesis. Minimally invasive techniques are being used to improve the surgery
outcome and also to enable the patient to return to work early.
There is a growing trend among patients and family members to seek alternate opinions and ask specific
product-related queries to their surgeons prior to decision-making. The task for orthopedic implant
suppliers and healthcare service providers is, therefore, to create awareness and make patient-surgeon
communication effective.

Surgeries osteoporosis. In Tier II, Tier III cities and rural areas the awareness level
is much low.
Low awareness is also a concern within the medical fraternity itself.

Physicians and specialists often neglect the signs at the initial stage
rather than immediately recommending the patient to an orthopedic
surgeon.
Arthritis generally affects people aged 55 years and above. It is one of
the leading causes of disability among those people. However, not many
people are willing to undergo surgery for treatment of arthritis, mainly due
Patient Apprehensions

Market Drivers (Contd)
While the huge population base is the single largest driver of the
orthopedic joint replacement market in India, the underpenetrated
silver age population (aged less than 55 years) which constitutes 7 to
12 percent of the total population, represents the scope for growth in
the market. Indias growing economy is driving urbanization and
creating an expanding middle class, with more disposable income to
spend on healthcare. As a result, demand for improved health
services and surgical expertise has been growing rapidly in the
Booming Economy and country.
Improving Healthcare
Infrastructure Healthcare infrastructure in the metros and Tier I cities is rapidly
increasing, with major corporate hospital groups such as Sterling,
Apollo and Wockhardt among others, making significant investments
in setting up state-of-the-art hospitals in major cities which also
include orthopedic specialties.
Though the government has not taken sufficient steps to cater to the
huge population of arthritis needing joint replacements, the only
positive step is to help indigenous manufacture of consumables and
implants is the import duty waiver for manufacture of orthopedic
implants.
P54D-54 40
An significant part of the Indian population is either suffering from or

are susceptible to arthritis and other painful joint-related diseases. An
estimated 150.0 million Indians, comprising about 15 percent of the
country's population, suffer from arthritis. This figure was projected at
Huge Population Affected
by Arthritis and Other the Madras Institute Of Trauma in the meeting held in conjunction with
Painful Joint Diseases World Arthritis Day in 2005; this number is on rise. Some of the major
reasons for such rapid spread of these diseases include increase in
aging population (above 55 to 60 years) susceptible to arthritis,
younger age group (40 years and above) with fast and sedentary
lifestyle, which includes imbalance in the diet, rest, and exercise, and
side effects of unprescribed drugs.

Growing number of Indians have started realizing the importance of a

surgical treatment as an approach to cure knee and hip joint problems.
Advancements in surgical techniques are also one of the main reasons

Market Restraints (Contd)
Affordability of joint replacement surgeries continues to be hurdle. Total

cost of a joint replacement surgery includes hospital expenses such as
expenses of operation, stay, and many other charges apart from the
implant. The minimum cost of any replacement surgery is above $4500 to
$5,000. Indias per capital income is $1,030 and the country is ranked
139th in the world.
Expensive Surgical
Procedures and Lack of Though the insurance sector is fast growing, current penetration of health
Affordability insurance is very moderate; at present the patients need to bear such
medical expenses by themselves. Moreover, there is a wide variation in
surgical costs across hospitals, because there is no fixed price in the
private sector and most medical aid schemes do not cover the total
costs.
P54D-54 47
Though healthcare infrastructure in India is growing at a fast pace, the

penetration of orthopaedic joint replacement surgeries is limited to
Limited Access to tertiary care and super-speciality hospitals in metros and Tier I cities.
Orthopedic Joint These facilities are still not accessible to a large section of the
Replacement Surgeries population living Tier II-Tier III cities and rural areas. Moreover,
currently, there are only about 750 to 850 surgeons in the country who
perform joint replacement surgeries.
About 10 to 15 years ago, only a few companies offered orthopedic

implants. However, at present several international and indigenous
companies are offering a wide variety of implants, which increases
Price War Bringing Down the bargaining power of customers which include not only the private
Cost of Implants hospitals and super-specialties, but also the Government hospitals as
well. Therefore, companies are forced to reduce their prices, thus
allowing a lower profit margin. Moreover, this is a customer driven
market and works more on relationship with hospitals & surgeons.
P54D-54 48
India does not have a well-developed laboratory for certifying these

implants nor regulatory guidelines for manufacturing or quality check
laboratories for orthopedic products. On the contrary, by an
amendment to the Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1940, orthopedic
implants are currently classified as drugs. As a result, the
manufacturers and importers at present need to register orthopedic
implants with the Office of the Drug Controller General of India, prior
to import, manufacture, or sale in the Indian market.
Unregulated Market
Scenario Lack of approvals such as the Food and Drug Administration or
European Conformity mark allows domestic participants to sell low-
quality implants at a price that is less than half of the price of good-
quality implants manufactured by international participants. This
hampers the market for good quality implant manufacturers, and may
also increase the fear and apprehension among the users once those
low-quality products do not yield expected results.

Factors Considered for the Selection of an Implant
Parameters for the Selection of an Implant
Technology, design, and type of an implant, its cost, patients need, product delivery, durability of a product,
training offered, previous experience, and brand reputation are the parameters considered while selecting
an implant.
Calculations (for One Modality)
Every respondent was asked to rate the above-mentioned parameters on a scale of 1-8, depending on the
importance given to them while purchasing an implant. (1 stands for the least important criteria, while 8
stands for the most important criteria.)
For every criteria, percent of response for each rating was calculated. For example, out of 15 respondents,
31 percent gave patients need a rating of 6.
For a particular criterion, the rating given by a majority of respondents was considered and plotted on the
spider chart. For example, product delivery was given a rating of 5 by a majority of respondents (42.0
percent). Hence, it was given a rating of 5.
Sample Size For the purpose of this study, about 15 orthopedic surgeons (who perform joint replacement
surgeries) across India were interviewed.
P54D-54 62
Important Factors for the Selection of an Implant (Contd)
About 73.0 percent of the respondents rated technology, design, and type of implant as the most important
criterion. Cost of an implant and patients need followed it.

P54D-54 63
Technology, Design, and Type of an Implant
Technology, design, and type are the most important factors considered while selecting an implant. Some
implants are complicated, while the others are very easy to use. Hence, selection also depends on the
surgeons level of comfort with an implant. For instance, a cemented implant is not suitable for younger
patients, as the chances of cement wearing out are high. Hence, it is used mostly for older patients who
perform less activities. Uncemented implants can be easily replaced through the revision surgery; hence,
they are used for younger patients.
Cost of an Implant
Cost of an implant is the second-most important criterion according to surgeons. Adopting new technology
becomes difficult, especially when its cost is very high when compared to the existing one.
Uncemented implants are more expensive than the cemented ones, hence are preferred by medium to
high income group of patients. Though patients are less involved in the process of selecting an implant,
their affordability also determines the type of implants.
P54D-54 64
Patients Need
The next important factor is the patients need. Any implant is selected after the patients physical
examination based on the extent of damage caused to the bone and age. For example, uncemented
implants are selected depending on the bone strength of a patient. If the bones are strong, which is
mostly the case with younger patients, uncemented implant is preferred over the cemented one.
Product Delivery
Speedy product delivery is another criterion considered during selection. An implant is expected to be
delivered within 24 hours. Speedy delivery is important especially in trauma cases. A surgery in this case
is not planned, hence, an implant is expected to arrive as early as possible.
Durability of a Product
The quality of an implant is also considered while selecting an implant. Quality includes the grade of
material used and its finishing; the material used should wear less. A good-quality implant should have a
shelf life of 15 to 20 years.
Training Offered
Training for new technologies, in the form of live demo or whole model training, helps a surgeon to
become familiar with them. This, to some extent, influences the decision regarding the selection of an
implant. Some companies offer cadaver trainings abroad.
P54D-54 65
Previous Experience
Previous experience with a vendor influences the decision of purchase of an implant. Most of the
surgeons become comfortable with an implant while being trained on its usage. For example, DePuy was
the first orthopedic implant company to be established in India. It trained many surgeons to use its
implants; hence, they are accustomed to them. This results in them being loyal to the company.
Brand Reputation
According to the surgeons (42.0 percent), brand reputation is a less important criteria when compared to
the other factors listed during the selection of an implant. Most of the companies provide references either
from a previous case study or a renowned surgeon or hospital.

Hip Joint Replacement Market

Overview
Hip joint replacements are essential when the hip joints

degenerate. It is the surgical process of replacing the Hip Joint
existing ball and socket joint with artificial ones. Replacement Market
Hip joint replacement is usually considered only when
other therapies, such as pain medications, have failed.
There are three types of procedures for hip
replacements: primary, partial, and revision. Primary Hip Replacement
Primary hip joint implants include an array of
components that replace the ball and socket hip joint. Partial Hip Replacement*
Manufacturers supply these parts as individual pieces or
as a complete hip system.
Revision Hip Replacement
Revision hip prosthetics are endowed with design
features to augment the fixation of the implant in an
increasingly bone-deficient environment. When a
primary total hip arthroplasty loosens, the orthopedic
surgeon is likely to consider the removal of the
prosthesis and its replacement with a new prosthesis.
*Partial Hip Replacement Market is not considered as a part of this

study. This is a highly fragmented market with a lot of local
manufacturers and distributors.

P54D-54 85
Recommendations and Conclusion
86
Recommendations
Product Differentiation and Customization
Companies should align their products to cater to the demand of different sections of the society (such as
the very premium end, the mediocre and not so affordable class of population) as well as to a larger
section of the population. With fierce competition in the market compelling participants to bring down the
prices of implants, it can be difficult for the international companies to offer the products below a certain
price to realise the bottom line.
Reducing Manufacturing Costs
Products should be customized to meet the needs of Indian patients without compromising on the
quality. All these factors may call for bringing down the cost of manufacturing an implant in order to
realise the margin of profit. Therefore, with raw material cost being fixed, to reduce the overhead cost
of manufacturing, some companies are in process and a few are planning to open manufacturing
centres in countries such as China where labour cost is low.
Joint Venture Agreements
Alternatively, another solution can be to seek joint venture agreements or acquisition of a local or
indigenous manufacturer, who meets the ISO/GMP/international standards. The global leaders will
require local market knowledge and distribution networks and will also be attracted by lower
manufacturing costs. Reduced price of implants could increase the reach to various classes and
sections of the population, thereby creating an opportunity for a wider customer base.
P54D-54 87
Recommendations (Contd)
Educating the Users
A large section of the population is either unaware of the problem and seriousness of jointrelated
diseases or is reluctant to undergo joint replacement surgery due to fear of surgery and the postsurgery
trauma.
There is a need to raise awareness of arthritis in all its forms among the medical community, arthritic
patients, and the general public. Increasing the awareness about the disease and educating patients on
the various treatment options available will significantly help in fighting this severe disabling disease as
well as will drive the orthopedic joint replacement market.
Conferences and meetings should be held were people suffering or even not suffering from arthritis are
invited to spread awareness/knowledge regarding arthritis, its prevention and management.
This is to ensure all people with arthritis and their caregivers are aware of the vast support network
available to them.
Operated patients with joint replacement should be made to interact with those affected with arthritis.
This builds confidence and positive attitude toward the treatment process. This can help millions of
patients who suffer acutely and lose hope of becoming well and enjoying life.
P54D-54 88
Training Surgeons
About 800 850 orthopedic surgeons, who can perform replacement surgeries, serve the entire
population of India. This is because there is less opportunity for orthopedic training in India; most
surgeons go overseas to learn, and many of them do not return.
Surgeons need to be trained on the new products in the market. Most of the young and experienced
surgeons should be trained through seminars and conferences arranged by a company; live telecast of a
surgery and dry bone exercise could also be arranged.
The trainings should start right from the time the medical schools and should be a part off college
curriculum. For post graduate students, special courses should be offered. Level of these trainings can
vary at different orthopedic joint replacement centers.
Relationship with the surgeons forms a very important decision making criteria while purchasing an
implant. These trainings allow a manufacturer to interact with surgeons and change their perception about
a particular implant. Younger surgeons and post graduates should be awarded with special training.
P54D-54 89
Promotional Activities and Advertising Channels
Updating the surgeons on the latest advancements frequently on the new technologies through
advertising channels such as journals, conferences, seminars, Webinars, medical newsletters, portals,
and so on, is necessary. This will help the companies to strengthen the relationship with the surgeons
who are one of the most important decision makers while purchasing an implant.
Conferences or seminars may allow a platform for surgeons to get their queries clarified such as success
rate, results, previous references, and so on. These activities may also help a company to change a
surgeons preference for a particular implant.
Strong distribution Network
An implant is usually chosen by a surgeon according to the surgeons comfort, the requirement of a
surgery, and cost of the device.
Hospitals and surgeons prefer to buy implants from distributors. This provides them the advantage of
having to pay only for the used component. Distribution networks in India are extremely dense, layered,
and difficult to penetrate without connections and experience. Therefore, finding the right partner is
essential, and lack of due diligence can significantly affect the distribution process.
P54D-54 90
Conclusion
The total market for orthopedic joint replacement market in India was valued at $80.4 million. Of this, over
75 percent contribution was from knee replacement market, about 20 to 25 percent was from hip
replacement market and less than 5 percent of the total market revenues were contributed by shoulder and
ankle replacement market.
For the manufacturers of orthopedic implants, the Budget 2010-11 has proposed an exemption of specified
inputs for the manufacture of implants from import duty. These incentives will drive the already fast-
emerging medical devices and equipment sector in India.
India has one of the fastest growing medical devices market. In the coming years, healthcare may be the
largest user of technology and also the largest employer. The growth rate of the orthopedic implants is
estimated to be over 25 percent per annum at least for the next five to six years.
Growth of the Indian joint replacement market is likely to be driven by a combination of factors such as
increasing affordability of the middle class population with substantial disposable income, spreading word
of mouth on successful joint replacements, and opening up of the insurance sector, among others.
Currently, over 70,000 hip and knee replacements are performed every year. A significant percent of the
Indian population is either suffering from or susceptible to orthopedic joint ailments, requiring replacement
surgeries. With a large potential population requiring joint replacement and increase in awareness about
the impact of joint problems on the lives of patients and the importance of a surgical treatment approach to
cure it, the market for orthopedic implants is likely to become one of the most profitable segments in the
Indian medical device market.

Leading Companies in the Total Indian Orthopedic Joint
Replacement Market
The total Indian orthopedic joint replacement market is growing at a high rate and has a number of
participants that provide a variety of products. However, it is dominated by international participants.
Some of the active international participants include Zimmer, Inc., Stryker, DePuy Companies (Johnson &
Johnson), Smith & Nephew, Exactech, Inc., B. Braun and Maxx Orthopaedics. These are well-
established companies with a wide range of products, and they account for a major share of the market
revenues.
Some local implant manufacturers such as Indus and Inor are also well-known companies that have a
prominent presence in the total Indian orthopedic joint replacement market. Many other companies export
implants to small-scale prosthesis manufacturers of unknown quality as well.
Indian surgeons prefer imported prosthesis over the ones manufactured in India. About 95 percent of the
joint replacement implants used by Indian surgeons are imported, because of their superior quality and
instrumentation.
In comparison to international countries, Indian manufacturers use semi-Computed numerically controlled

(CNC) based machinery, which means that certain manufacturing procedures are operated manually,
while others are automated.
