Osteoarthritis Therapeutics Market size was valued at USD 9.31 billion in 2024 and is set to exceed USD 21.63 billion by 2037, registering over 6.7% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of osteoarthritis therapeutics is evaluated at USD 9.84 billion.
The growth of the market can be attributed to the increased number of patients with osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a type of arthritis that occurs when flexible tissue at the ends of bone wears down. The main factor for the rise of osteoarthritis is the increasing number of geriatric population. According to the report published by United Nations, there were 703 million people aged 65 years or over in the world in 2019. Hence on the back of the increasing geriatric population, the market is estimated to witness remarkable growth during the forecast period. Moreover, the World Obesity Atlas 2022 report published by the World Obesity Federation predicts that 1 billion people globally, including 1 in 7 men and 1 in 5 women will be living with obesity by 2030. Obesity is also a primary factor that contributes to the development of osteoarthritis. The excess weight adds pressure and stress on joint, and fat cells promote inflammation. Additionally, osteoarthritis is also caused by joint injuries such as bone fracture, cartilage, or ligament tear. Posttraumatic osteoarthritis is the occurrence of arthritis after a trauma or an accident. The condition is becoming common and it is estimated that approximately 10% of osteoarthritis cases of the knee, ankle, and hip are the result of trauma or accident. Owing to surging accidental cases the market is expected to grow during the forecast period.
