Hammertoe Market Size was valued at USD 0.7 Billion in 2023. The Global Hammertoe industry is projected to grow from USD 1.2 Billion in 2024 to USD 2.9 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.32% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032).Hammertoe is a feet-related problem, in which the feet bend permanently. 
The problem occurs due to an imbalance in ligaments and muscles that hold the toe straight. Hammertoe bends the toe downward instead of keeping it straight. One of the reasons causing hammertoe includes wearing a small size or narrow shoes that bend the toe. Other reasons that can cause hammertoe include vein or muscle damage, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, stroke, Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease, and other feet problems. The discomfort and pain caused due to hammertoe can be controlled by changing the footwear. Usually, hammertoe occurs due to wrong selection of shoes that affects toe muscles, but in some cases, this problem may be present by birth itself. The increasing prevalence of arthritis and growing R&D expenditure in the healthcare industry boost market growth. However, factors such as complications and pain associated with surgeries, the risk of infections during surgical treatments and hospital stay, and the lack of awareness are expected to hinder the hammertoe correction systems market growth.
Arthritis is a common joint-related problem, which may occur due to osteoporosis and age. Arthritis is one of the reasons causing hammertoe at any age. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in February 2018, it was reported that the prevalence of arthritis is increasing with age. It has also been estimated that 54.4 million of the population has been diagnosed with arthritis, in which 23.4 % of women and 18.1% of men had arthritis. It was predicted that 78.4 million people above 18 years are likely to be diagnosed with arthritis by 2040 in the US. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of arthritis among the population will boost the hammertoe correction systems market growth.
Based on type, the hammertoe market is divided into rigid type and flexible type. In the case of flexible hammertoe, the joints in the toe can be moved and straightened. Flexible hammertoes can cause pain and irritation and can lead to the development of corns and calluses. It is crucial to treat hammertoes, even if the toe is flexible. According to Andrew Park, Senior Manager at Orthopedics at iDATA Research, a global medical device and pharmaceutical market intelligence firm stated that in 2017, 648,000 hammertoe surgeries were held in the US. The hammertoe market, based on treatment & diagnosis, has been divided into treatment and diagnosis. The treatment segment has been further segmented into surgery, implant, and others. The surgery segment has been further sub-segmented into arthroplasty and arthrodesis. The diagnosis segmented is sub-segmented into physical examination, x-rays, and others. The hammertoe market, based on end user, is segmented into hospitals & clinics and physiotherapy & orthopedic centers. The hospitals & clinics segment is dominating the hammertoe industry, by end user as hospitals are rapidly adopting new technologies and procedures to provide adequate services. Hospitals are also spending about 10% of their annual budget on technology.
