According to Coherent Market Insights, the global pleurodynia treatment market is estimated to be valued at USD 161.1 Mn in 2026 and is expected to reach USD 240.6 Mn by 2033, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9% from 2026 to 2033. Pleurodynia, commonly referred to as epidemic myalgia or Bornholm disease, represents a viral infection primarily caused by Coxsackievirus B, characterized by intense chest and upper abdominal pain that mimics cardiac or pulmonary conditions. This acute febrile illness predominantly affects children and young adults, presenting with sharp, intermittent pain in the chest wall muscles and diaphragm, often accompanied by fever, headache, and malaise. The global pleurodynia treatment market encompasses pharmaceutical interventions, supportive care therapies, and diagnostic solutions aimed at managing this self-limiting yet debilitating condition.

Treatment protocols typically involve symptomatic management through analgesics, anti-inflammatory medications, and antiviral agents in severe cases, while supportive measures include rest, hydration, and respiratory support when necessary. The market landscape is evolving with increased awareness of enteroviral infections, improved diagnostic capabilities, and the development of targeted therapeutic approaches. Healthcare providers face challenges in accurate diagnosis due to symptom overlap with other respiratory and cardiac conditions, driving demand for enhanced diagnostic tools and treatment protocols. The growing incidence of viral outbreaks, coupled with improved healthcare infrastructure in developing regions, continues to shape market dynamics and treatment accessibility globally.

Market Dynamics

The global pleurodynia treatment market experiences significant growth driven by increasing awareness about enteroviral infections among healthcare professionals and patients, leading to improved diagnosis rates and subsequent treatment demand. Rising incidence of viral outbreaks, particularly in crowded environments such as schools and military facilities, creates sustained market demand for effective therapeutic interventions. Enhanced diagnostic capabilities, including advanced molecular testing and point-of-care diagnostics, enable faster identification of causative agents, promoting timely treatment initiation and driving market expansion.

Growing healthcare expenditure in emerging economies, coupled with improved access to antiviral medications and pain management therapies, contributes to market growth across diverse geographical regions. However, the market faces substantial restraints including the self-limiting nature of pleurodynia, which often resolves without specific treatment, potentially limiting pharmaceutical intervention requirements. Misdiagnosis remains a significant challenge due to symptom similarity with cardiac and pulmonary conditions, leading to inappropriate treatment protocols and market inefficiencies. Limited awareness among primary care physicians about differential diagnosis techniques may result in underreporting and suboptimal treatment approaches. Additionally, the absence of specific antiviral therapies for certain enteroviral strains constrains treatment options and market potential.

Despite these challenges, opportunities emerge through development of novel antiviral compounds targeting specific enteroviral mechanisms, creating potential for breakthrough therapies. Expanding telemedicine platforms offer opportunities for remote consultation and monitoring, particularly valuable in outbreak scenarios. Investment in research and development for rapid diagnostic tools presents significant market opportunities, especially for point-of-care testing solutions that can differentiate pleurodynia from other chest pain etiologies, ultimately improving patient outcomes and market penetration.
