Osteoarthritis Injectables Market To Reach $11.42 Billion By 2030

Osteoarthritis Injectables Market Growth & Trends

The global osteoarthritis injectables market size is anticipated to reach USD 11.42 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.82% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is experiencing growth, influenced by several key factors. Women aged 50 to 60 are more susceptible to developing hand and knee osteoarthritis (OA) compared to men, due to hormonal changes and musculoskeletal differences, as highlighted by Arthritis-health data from January 2021. Additionally, obesity rates, higher among women according to the National Institutes of Health, further increase the risk. In the U.S. alone, it is projected that the number of osteoarthritis patients will reach 70 million by 2040.

The growing geriatric population is a significant driver for market expansion. An NCBI report from May 2023 predicts that the combination of an aging population and obesity will more than double the number of osteoarthritis patients to 67 million by 2030. The majority of cases are expected to occur in individuals aged 65 and above, with 45% of current osteoarthritis patients falling into this age group, according to an OAAA study supported by the CDC in March 2024. This demographic shift impacts productivity, reducing work efficiency and increasing the disease burden.

Research and development activities are also boosting the osteoarthritis injectables market growth, with pharmaceutical companies and research institutes focusing on the development of novel drugs for OA management. BioSenic's announcement in January 2024 regarding the phase 3 study of JTA-004, an innovative treatment for knee OA, demonstrates the industry's commitment to advancing treatment options. Academic and research institutes are also actively involved in developing novel therapies. For instance, a GP130 investigational drug, reported in March 2023, shows promise in managing inflammation and pain. Additionally, Kolon TissueGene, Inc.'s Phase 2 clinical trial for TG-C in hip OA aims to evaluate pain and quality-of-life improvements.

The adoption of oral drugs, surgery, and home remedies such as gin-soaked raisins or wearing copper bracelets for the treatment of OA is expected to adversely affect market growth. The adoption of oral and topical treatment drugs such as analgesics, NSAIDs, and corticosteroids, is increasing due to the patient-centric approach and ease of use. Moreover, increase in research activities to develop novel oral drugs to manage inflammation and pain due to OA is anticipated to hinder the market expansion of OA injectable drugs in the coming years. For instance, in February 2022, Medivir AB published the post-hoc analysis of a randomized phase 2a clinical trial of MIV-711 and its symptomatic and structural benefits for pain management of OA. MIV-711 is an orally administered drug targeting both bone resorption and cartilage degradation.
