In November, we published our downloadable report, 2018 Revenue Projections: Companies Over $200 Million, for the 25 largest orthopaedic companies. Sales for these 25 companies account for ~80% of the worldwide orthopaedic market. We project that these companies will combine for $41 billion in 2018 revenue, +3% vs. 2017.
As noted in Part I of our quarterly revenue coverage, robotics and enabling technology in general continued to be a major theme supporting growth for publicly-traded companies.
