The Europe osteoarthritis therapy market was valued at US$ 4.97 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 8.74 billion by 2030; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 7.3% from 2022 to 2030.
Rising inclination toward non-surgical approaches such as PRP therapy, stem cell therapy, hyaluronic acid injections, and prolotherapy would propel the adoption of regenerative medicine. Patients suffering from OA can be treated using non-pharmacological therapies. Regenerative therapy options can improve joint functions by ultimately reducing pain and enhancing the overall quality of life for individuals suffering from OA. Therefore, increasing adoption of regenerative medicine is expected to open new business opportunities in the osteoarthritis therapy market during the forecast period.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) report published in 2020, osteoarthritis deaths in Germany account for 0.05% of total deaths. Further, new product launches enhance the market growth. For instance, in May 2023, Grünenthal announced receiving approval for investigational non-opioid medicine "Resiniferatoxin (RTX)," currently undergoing Clinical Phase 3 development standing as a breakthrough therapy by the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) to treat knee OA. Resiniferatoxin can become a meaningful non-opioid treatment option, providing long-lasting pain relief and functional improvement of the affected joint.
Availability of Regenerative Medicine Drives Europe Osteoarthritis Therapy Market
Regenerative medicine is a new and potentially transformative alternative to traditional therapy options to treat OA. Regenerative medicine utilizes biomedical engineering, biomaterials, and cell therapies that target the body's immune system to treat OA. Also, clinical researchers have developed methods to fix the articular cartilage of patients using patients' (autologous) cells. Further, regenerative therapy options use "Matrix-Induced Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (MACI)." MACI can repair small areas of cartilage, ultimately preventing or postponing OA. Also, several manufacturers are developing products focused on regenerative therapy.Rising inclination toward non-surgical approaches such as PRP therapy, stem cell therapy, hyaluronic acid injections, and prolotherapy would propel the adoption of regenerative medicine.
