Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent form of arthritis, characterized by the degeneration of joint cartilage and underlying bone, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. It primarily affects the knees, hips, hands, and spine.
The osteoarthritis therapeutics market includes a wide range of treatment options, from analgesics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, and viscosupplementation to disease-modifying osteoarthritis drugs (DMOADs) and biologic therapies currently under development.
The market is witnessing growth driven by an aging population, increasing obesity rates, and advancements in regenerative medicine and novel drug discovery targeting disease modification rather than symptom control.
