Osteoarthritis Therapeutics Market Report 2024

This Osteoarthritis Therapeutics market report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.

The osteoarthritis therapeutics market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $7.55 billion in 2023 to $8.17 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. The growth observed during the historic period can be linked to factors such as an aging population, improvements in drug delivery systems, greater awareness and diagnosis of conditions, the development of new therapies, and increasing obesity rates.

The osteoarthritis therapeutics market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.29 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The projected growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as escalating obesity rates, advancements in treatment modalities, growing awareness and diagnosis, the development of disease-modifying osteoarthritis drugs (DMOADs), and increased funding from both government and private sources for research. Key trends expected during this period include a greater emphasis on personalized medicine, the rise of regenerative therapies, an expanded range of pain management options, supportive government and regulatory frameworks, and growing demand in emerging markets.

The increase in sports injuries is expected to drive the growth of the osteoarthritis therapeutics market in the future. A sports injury refers to any damage or harm sustained during athletic activities, ranging from mild to severe, and affecting various parts of the body. The rise in sports injuries is primarily due to growing participation in sports and the increasing intensity and competitiveness of these activities. Osteoarthritis therapeutics are used to manage pain, reduce inflammation, and improve joint function in athletes experiencing joint degeneration from such injuries. For example, in 2022, the National Safety Council, a US-based nonprofit organization focused on health and safety, reported a 12% increase in sports and recreational injuries. As a result, the rising number of sports injuries is fueling the growth of the osteoarthritis therapeutics market.

Leading companies in the osteoarthritis therapeutics market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions, such as advancements in tissue regeneration for osteoarthritis. Tissue regeneration in osteoarthritis involves repairing or replacing damaged cartilage and joint tissues to restore function and alleviate pain. For instance, in May 2023, the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), a US-based government agency, launched the Novel Innovations for Tissue Regeneration in Osteoarthritis (NITRO) program. This program aims to create cutting-edge injectable therapies that stimulate cartilage repair by utilizing biological pathways similar to those active during embryonic development. A key aspect of NITRO is its collaborative, multimodal approach among research teams and the use of advanced testing techniques, such as "joint-on-a-chip" platforms that replicate joint environments. This initiative seeks to develop regenerative solutions that address the underlying causes of osteoarthritis, offering more effective long-term treatments.

In April 2022, Juniper Biologics Pte Ltd, a pharmaceutical company based in Singapore, acquired the licensing rights for TG-C LD (TissueGene-C low dose) from Kolon Life Science for $600 million. This acquisition positions Juniper Biologics as a leader in cell-mediated gene therapies for knee osteoarthritis, addressing a significant unmet medical need affecting around 300 million patients in the Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa regions. Kolon Life Science Inc., based in South Korea, specializes in osteoarthritis therapeutics.

Osteoarthritis therapeutics encompass a range of medical treatments and interventions aimed at managing and alleviating the symptoms of osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease marked by the deterioration of cartilage and underlying bone. These treatments include medications, physical therapies, lifestyle changes, and, in some cases, surgical procedures. The main objectives of osteoarthritis therapeutics are to reduce pain, enhance joint function, and improve the quality of life for those affected by the condition.

Key drug types for osteoarthritis management include viscosupplementation agents, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), analgesics, corticosteroids, and others. Viscosupplementation agents are injected directly into the joint to provide lubrication and cushioning, which helps relieve pain and improve mobility. The condition can affect various joints, such as the knee, hip, and hand, and treatments can be administered through different routes, including parenteral, topical, and oral. Sales channels for these therapeutics include prescription and over-the-counter drugs, with end-users ranging from hospital pharmacies to retail pharmacies and other outlets.
