Description: SNN Smith & Nephew SNATS January 03, 2026
Smith & Nephew plc (NYSE:SNN) designs, manufactures and markets a broad portfolio of medical-device products across three operating segments: Orthopaedics, Sports Medicine & ENT, and Advanced Wound Management. The firm serves hospitals and other healthcare providers in the U.K., the United States and globally.
Its Orthopaedics line includes knee and hip implants (including revision-type hip devices), trauma and extremities fixation systems, and other reconstruction solutions. The Sports Medicine & ENT segment supplies minimally invasive joint-repair instruments, arthroscopic visualization equipment, and ENT devices. Advanced Wound Management offers chronic-wound dressings, biologic grafts, negative-pressure therapy (both reusable and single-use), and hydrosurgery platforms.
Key recent metrics: FY 2023 revenue reached approximately **$5.2 billion**, up 7 % YoY, driven primarily by a **10 % growth rate in orthopaedic sales** and a **6 % rise in wound-care revenue**. R&D spending remained steady at **~7 % of sales**, supporting pipeline launches such as a next-generation knee implant that received FDA clearance in Q3 2024. The United States now accounts for roughly **55 % of total revenue**, reflecting the market’s reliance on high-volume joint-replacement procedures.
Sector-level drivers that shape Smith & Nephew’s outlook include an aging global population (projected to add ~30 million new joint-replacement candidates in the next decade), tightening reimbursement policies that favor cost-effective, minimally invasive solutions, and ongoing supply-chain pressures that have heightened the value of single-use, sterilization-free devices. These macro trends underpin the company’s focus on high-margin, technology-enabled product lines.
