The Global Bunion Treatment Market Size is Anticipated to Exceed USD 45 Million by 2033, Growing at a CAGR of 5.24% from 2023 to 2033.

Market Overview

A bunion is a deformity of the base of the big toe joint, where the joint deviates sideways towards the second toe. It is more common in women and has a large genetic component, with 75% of people developing bunions having a family history. Bunions usually appear late and can be caused by an inherited faulty mechanical structure of the foot. Causes may include other joint problems like osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. Wearing shoes with the wrong shape, such as pointed toes, can worsen the situation by putting extra pressure on the big toe joint and other toes, causing compression and friction on the skin. Early treatments aim to ease the pain of bunions but won't reverse the deformity itself. Changes in footwear, such as shoes with appropriate fastenings and wide-toe boxes, are crucial. Bunion pads can help minimize pain by deflecting rubbing and friction from the joint.

Driving Factors

Bunion treatment provides pain relief, improves mobility, and corrects foot deformities thus preventing further complications. Early interventions such as orthotics, physical therapy, and footwear adjustments reduce discomfort and delay surgery. Surgical treatment provides long-term improvement in severe cases, restoring normal function and appearance. Successful treatment prevents the bunion from progressing, reducing the risk of future foot problems. This improves the patient’s quality of life by allowing them to engage in physical activity without the limitations of bunion pain.

Restraining Factors

Bunion treatment, especially surgical options, has drawbacks such as possible complications of infection, nerve damage, and blood clots. It also carries the risk of recurrence and prolonged recovery periods. The non-surgical treatment provides temporary relief from pain and discomfort but does not cure the root cause of the problem. Improperly fitted orthotics may not provide the desired results, and some individuals may find these methods uncomfortable or ineffective.

Market Segmentation

The global bunion treatment market share is classified into patient, diagnosis, and treatment.

• The geriatric segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global bunion treatment market during the forecast period.   

Based on the patient, the global bunion treatment market is divided into pediatric, adult, and geriatric. Among these, the geriatric segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global bunion treatment market during the forecast period. The geriatric segment is expanding rapidly due to the aging of the global population and the rising incidences of foot abnormalities in elderly individuals. Bunions often occur when wearing ill-fitting shoes, have joint problems, or have arthritis. Thus, conservative treatment alternatives like as orthotics, physical therapy, and specialist footwear are in increasing demand.

• The X-rays segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR in the global bunion treatment market during the forecast period.   

Based on the diagnosis, the global bunion treatment market is divided into radiography, medical history, and X-rays. Among these, the X-rays segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR in the global bunion treatment market during the forecast period. X-rays are a crucial diagnostic tool for evaluating the severity of the bunion and associated pathology or joint issues. With the increasing availability of advanced imaging technology, it is increasingly used to diagnose foot-bone angle, and plan treatment modalities, especially surgical interventions. The requirement for accurate pre-surgical assessment and early detection of bunion helps to expand the X-ray segment in bunion diagnosis.

• The devices segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR in the global bunion treatment market during the forecast period.   

Based on the treatment, the global bunion treatment market is divided into devices, self-care, medications, and surgery. Among these, the devices charging segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR in the global bunion treatment market during the forecast period. The growth of the non-invasive bunion treatment market is attributed to the increasing availability of pain management devices such as splints and orthotics. These devices are popular among patients seeking non-surgical pain control. Technological advances and self-care skills are also driving adoption. This increase is further supported by the preference of older people for minimally invasive treatments.
