Global Osteoarthritis Market Headed for Growth and Global Expansion by 2015 to 2021

Osteoarthritis is a chronic disease, which affect joints, including ligament, cartilage, joint lining, and underlying bones. This disease results in joint pain and stiffness due to the breakdown of cartilage. It is also known as Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD). Primary osteoarthritis and secondary osteoarthritis are the two commonest forms of osteoarthritis. Primary osteoarthritis results from abnormal stress on weight bearing joints. This is mostly common in the aging population. Secondary osteoarthritis refers to sudden and chronic injury in the joints. Metabolic disorders, trauma, joint surgery, poor bone alignment, and diabetes are some of the common causes leading to osteoarthritis. Some of the commonest tests used to diagnose osteoarthritis include joint fluid analysis, blood tests, X-rays, and magnetic resonance imaging scans. Medications such as acetaminophen and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are used for osteoarthritis treatment. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs include ibuprofen and naproxen. Physical therapy, occupational therapy, chronic pain class, and braces are some of the therapies associated with osteoarthritis. Moreover, osteoarthritis treatment includes surgical procedures such as lubrication injections, cortisone shots, and joint replacement.

This is due to the rising prevalence of osteoarthritis diseases and growing geriatric population in these regions. In addition, increasing access to health care insurance, especially in the U.S., is also influencing the growth of the osteoarthritis market. Asia is expected to be the fastest growing market in the next five years. This is due to the rising health care infrastructure and increasing government initiatives for better health care facilities in this region.
