According to iData Research the U.S. minimally invasive spinal implants market is expected to increase to over $2 billion by 2023.The fastest growing implant segment is the MIS sacroiliac joint fusion market, first introduced with SI-BONE’s iFuse Implant System® at the end of 2009. The sacroiliac joint fusion market is currently 5 percent of the overall spine market and it’s projected to reach 20 percent by 2021.By 2024, the SIJF market in the US is expected to exceed USD200mn, driven primarily by an increase in procedure volumes and adoption by new surgeons.
Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction is responsible for 25% of lower back pain cases across the world. Sacroiliac (SI) joint disorders and the associated symptoms have been well known for over a century. In fact, in the early 1900s symptoms which seemed to arise from the back were frequently attributed to the sacroiliac (SI) joint, and open surgical procedures were used to treat the joint.
In 1934, a paper was published on the spinal disc as a source of pain in the back. As a result, disc treatment became the most common operation for orthopedic surgeons, and the sacroiliac (SI) joint was all but forgotten.1 Now, 70 years later, orthopedic and spine surgeons have recognized that the disc is not the only source of low back pain (LBP).According to scientific data, it’s common for pain from the SI joint to feel like disc or low back pain. To avoid unnecessary lumbar spine surgery, SI joint disorders should be strongly considered in low back pain diagnosis.2

Additionally, clinical evidence demonstrates that SIJF is an effective procedure.The popularity of sacroiliac joint fusion has grown rapidly over the past five years, with SI-Bone’s Ifuse device leading the market. Recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, the company has released a new version of their traditional triangular titanium implants. The second-generation products (Ifuse-3D implants) are made using additive manufacturing, and incorporate a fenestrated design and porous surface.However, following the rapid expansion in recent years, market growth is expected to stabilize over the coming years.
This market has experienced rapid growth as a result of :
- Reimbursement policy changes
- New product entrants.
- Increasing an awareness of SI joint dysfunction and improvements in diagnostic processes.

I have distributorship and would appreciate your opinion on which system is in the position to take on SI Bone. Also, which ones are looking for representation.
