Spine is the largest individual segment that we track, accounting for 18.2% of the orthopedic industry's overall revenue. Excluding biologics, sales of orthopedic spine products topped $9.3 billion in 2018, growing +2.7% vs. 2017. Growth in the segment exceeded our expectations, as several companies in the top 10 posted double-digit increases that offset lower performance by manufacturers at the top of the list. Here, we take a deeper look at past, present and forecasted performance.

The first quarter of 2019 brought modest growth to the orthopedic market, as expected seasonal softness and more competition in digital surgery platforms slowed sales for some of the largest players. The 25 companies covered in this article had combined total orthopedic sales of $8.7 billion, growing just 1.1% versus the prior year. While the top two players, DePuy Synthes and Zimmer Biomet, both saw -2% growth, the quarter did feature strong performances by Medtronic (+5%) and Wright Medical (+16%) among the larger players.
