The affected body parts experience acute joint pain and stiffness as a result of this. Osteoarthritis can be treated with a variety of methods, including exercise for joint pain relief and pain medicines. OA symptoms can be relieved with over-the-counter (OTC) pain medications such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Duloxetine (Cymbalta) is a prescription pain reliever that can also be used to treat long-term (chronic) OA discomfort. Steroid injections can often provide significant relief from OA pain in the short to medium term.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the worldwide geriatric population, which was estimated to be over 524 million in 2010, is expected to increase to nearly 2 billion by 2050.

Restraints/Challenges

• Side effects linked with Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)

NSAIDs, both over-the-counter and prescribed, are commonly used to treat osteoarthritis pain. According to a report published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information in 2019, NSAIDs are administered to more than half of all osteoarthritis patients in the United States. Similarly, 60 percent of osteoarthritis patients in Europe who used prescription drugs (47 percent) received NSAIDs. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been linked to an enhanced risk of cardiovascular events. Both selective and non-selective NSAIDs (coxibs) increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in patients. These factors will impede the 'market's growth rate during the forecast period.

The dearth of skilled professionals and lack of healthcare infrastructure in developing economies will challenge the osteoarthritis treatment market. Additionally, strict regulatory policies and lack of awareness among people will restrain and further impede the growth rate of the market during the forecast period of 2025-2032.
