GLOBAL PLATE AND SCREW MARKET SHARE INSIGHTS

- DePuy Synthes held the leading position in the plate and screw market in 2024, commanding a significant share of the global market. DePuy Synthes occupies the premium end of the market and has a strong salesforce. For decades, it has remained a leader in locking plate technology, only losing market share marginally over the years as competition intensifies. Before Johnson & Johnson acquired Synthes, Synthes was much more dominant in the plate and screw market than DePuy. Following the merger, DePuy Synthes has maintained its strong hand in this market, as the majority of surgeons continue to use its products. The company is marketing its plate and screw portfolio under the LCP® and VA-LCP® brands.
- Stryker held the second-leading position in the plate and screw market in 2024. Stryker’s share of the total market was bolstered upon the acquisition of Wright Medical and Integra medical sciences.
Stryker has been increasing its share in this market for the last seven years, mainly via organic growth. Stryker’s main product line is its AxSOS Plating Systems®, which treat mainly long bone fractures and come in various options, such as locking or non-locking setups, as well as various plating sizes. Stryker also offers a variable-angle portfolio, branded as VariAx®, targeting fractures in the upper anatomy. Stryker commands some of the highest pricing in this market, which can occasionally exceed that of DePuy Synthes. - Zimmer Biomet held the third-leading position in the plate and screw market in 2024. Zimmer Biomet’s product series in this market include the Periarticular Locking Plating System® (PLCP®), which is used in radius, humerus, femur and tibia fractures, A.L.P.S.® and DVR®. Generally, the company sells its products at below-market-average prices, given the significant market share of premium products, except for some of the products under its Non-Contact Bridging® line.
