Osteoarthritis Pain Drugs Market

Osteoarthritis (OA) also known as degenerative joint disease or degenerative arthritis is among the common chronic conditions of the joint. OA can affect any joint in the knees, hips, lower back, and neck. When an individual suffers from OA, the cartilage that provides a smooth, gliding surface for joint motion breaks down, causing pain, swelling, and other issues in the movement of the joints in the body. Osteoarthritis pain drugs are used to relieve the pain that occurs when a person suffers from OA. As per the figures provided by Arthritis Foundation U.S. osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common chronic condition of the joints, affecting approximately 27 million Americans; this high prevalence creates a need for OA pain drugs.

The market is mainly driven by factors such as a strong pipeline portfolio coupled with the increasing prevalence of OA globally. As per World Health Organization, osteoarthritis is already one of the ten most disabling diseases in developed countries.
