Asia Pacific Exhibits Conditions Conducive to Growth in Casts and Splints Sales
Regionally, Asia Pacific has been exhibiting the highest prospects in the global casting and splinting market, followed by North America. Demand for casts and splints is visibly high in countries such as India, Korea, and China.

Furthermore, casts and splints are widely used in Asia Pacific, due to which, their price in the region is comparatively low. This has resulted in the increased demand for casts and splints and consequently has earned increased revenue for the region’s casting market. The regional market will also gain from the rapidly growing population in India and China.
