Future trends to watch for include:
- Technological advancements in orthopaedic devices which might impact demand.
- Sweden's ageing population potentially driving higher import needs.
- Economic conditions and healthcare policy changes influencing import volumes.
- Global supply chain dynamics affecting availability and pricing.
