Osteoporosis Drugs Market

The global osteoporosis drugs market accounted for $7,657 million in 2018, and is expected to reach $10,479 million by 2026, registering a CAGR of 3.9% from 2019 to 2026. 

Osteoporosis is defined as a medical condition, which is characterized by low density and quality of bones in humans. Furthermore, the bones become porous in this medical condition, which makes them more fragile and, in turn, prone to factures. The condition is caused by over production of the hormone called as parathyroid. The condition can lead to severe fractures, which can have deleterious effects on the health of patient. Therefore, the condition requires treatment, which includes the use of osteoporosis drugs. Some of the drugs available in the market include bisphosphonates selective estrogen inhibitors modulator (SERM), parathyroid hormone therapy, calcitonin, and RANK ligand inhibitors. These drugs are administered through different routes in the body such as orally or intravenously.  

The major factor that contributes to the growth of osteoporosis drugs market include rise in prevalence of osteoporosis. Furthermore, other factors that boost the growth of the osteoporosis drugs market are surge in geriatric population across the globe and rise in adoption of sedentary lifestyle worldwide. However, side effects of osteoporosis drugs and the time-consuming drug approval process hamper the growth of osteoporosis drugs market. Conversely, high growth potential in developing economies is expected to offer lucrative opportunities during the forecast period. 

Osteoporosis Drugs Market Segmentation  

The osteoporosis drugs market size is studied on the basis of drug class, route of administration, and region to provide a detailed assessment of the market. On the basis of drug class, the market is segmented into bisphosphonates, selective estrogen inhibitors modulator (SERM), parathyroid hormone therapy, calcitonin, rank ligand inhibitors, and others. By route of administration, it is segregated into oral, injectable, and others. Region wise, it is analyzed across North America (the U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Spain, and rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, Australia, South Korea, and rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Brazil, South Africa, and rest of LAMEA). 

Segment Review

By product, the bisphosphonates acquired the major share of osteoporosis drugs market in 2018, owing to increase in investment in R&D of advanced novel bisphosphonates drugs by major players. Furthermore, bisphosphonates are commonly prescribed drugs for the treatment of osteoporosis, which boosts the growth of the market.  However, the rank ligand inhibitors segment is expected to exhibit fastest growth rate during the forecast period, owing to the fact that these drugs are used to treat bone metastasis by acting as a chemoattractant to bone for tumor cells that express its receptor, RANK. Thus, the inhibition of the RANKL-RANK pathway serves as an ideal treatment for the bone metastasis. 

By route of administration, the oral segment acquired the major share of the osteoporosis drugs market, owing to abundant availability of medications, which are available as oral drugs in the market. Conversely, the injectable segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period, owing to factors such as rise in need for drugs, which exhibit improved bioavailability rapid mode of action. 

Region wise, North America accounted for the major share in 2018, and is expected to continue this trend, owing to easy availability of osteoporosis drugs. Moreover, surge in incidence of osteoporosis contributes toward the growth of this market. On the contrary, Asia-Pacific is expected to register the fastest growth during the forecast period attributed to increase in awareness regarding the use of osteoporosis drugs. Moreover, the constantly evolving life science industry drives the growth of the market in the developing economies such as India, China, and Malaysia.
