Turkey Prosthetics And Orthotics Market Outlook

turkey boasts a comprehensive healthcare system and is undergoing continual updating and modernization of its services and technologies. prosthetics and orthotics is an important part of this, and the turkey prosthetics and orthotics market is growing. turkey has a large population, with many cases of congenital and acquired limb amputations requiring prosthetics and orthotics. a large population means a larger demand, which is reflected in the growth of the market. in addition, increasing awareness among the citizens of the country of the benefits of prosthetics and orthotics, as well as the availability of cost-effective products in turkey, has further contributed to the growth of this market. the government of turkey has been providing support for prosthesis and orthosis devices, as well as support for the production of affordable prostheses for persons with disabilities. in addition, since 2016, the government has further implemented a national proclamation on prostheses and orthoses to provide legal support to individuals with disabilities to obtain prostheses and orthoses. in terms of the type of product, lower extremities prostheses held the largest share in the turkey prosthetics and orthotics market in 2018, due to the high prevalence of professional injuries and motor vehicle injuries in the country. it is also followed by upper extremities prostheses, which are used to replace lost or impaired limbs. the installed capacity of the turkey prosthetics and orthotics market is sufficient to meet growing local demand, although few imported products do enter the market. the market is competitive, however, and is largely dominated by a handful of turkish players. the larger companies in the sector include konya orthopedic, aso protez, and ortosil ortopedik. in the coming years, the turkey prosthetics and orthotics market will grow due to the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and trauma-related injuries. this growth will be driven by the initiatives taken by the government of turkey to promote the better access and use of prosthetics and orthotics devices in the country. in addition, increased availability of cost-effective prosthetics and orthotics in turkey along with greater awareness among the populace will further add to the growth of the market.
