Cartilage Repair Market Trends
Osteoarthritis is a common degenerative joint condition characterized by the breakdown of cartilage in the joints. As the population ages and obesity rates rise, the prevalence of osteoarthritis has been steadily increasing. For instance, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), osteoarthritis affects over 32.5 million adults in the U.S.
- With the rising incidence of osteoarthritis, there is a growing interest in regenerative therapies, including stem cell therapy treatments and growth factor-based interventions, as potential alternatives to surgical cartilage repair. These therapies are becoming more prevalent in the market to address osteoarthritis.
- Osteoarthritis often necessitates surgical intervention, such as joint replacements or cartilage repair. As the number of osteoarthritis cases rises, so does the demand for these surgical procedures.
