The surging prevalence of orthopedic disorders, including osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and joint fractures, is projected to fuel the growth of the market.
Osteoarthritis, an increasingly common joint disorder, affects a significant proportion of the population worldwide. With an aging population and rising life expectancy, the prevalence of osteoarthritis is steadily increasing, particularly in emerging markets.
According to the Global RA Network in 2021, approximately 350 million people worldwide suffer from arthritis. The CDC reports that currently, around 1 in 4 (or 54.4 million) adults in the U.S. experience some form of arthritis, with this number projected to reach 78 million by 2040.
Additionally, data from the IHME Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 indicates that over 57 million people in Western Europe have osteoarthritis. In 2019, osteoarthritis affected over 11 million people in Germany, 8.6 million in Italy, 8.5 million in the UK, 8.4 million in France, 6.6 million in Spain, and 1 million in Sweden.
This number is expected to surge significantly in the coming years, further driving demand for joint pain injections.
