Segmentation - Osteoarthritis Drugs Market

Osteoporosis is a systemic disorder characterized by decreased bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to bone fragility and increased susceptibility to fractures of the hip, spine, and wrist. Due to its important prevalence worldwide, osteoporosis is considered a serious public health concern associated with disability and pain. The pathophysiology of osteoporosis is an imbalance between bone resorption and bone formation. In osteoporosis, bone resorption takes place to a greater extent than bone formation, so a negative balance occurs with a net loss of bone and an accompanying increasing risk of fractures, resulting in deformity and chronic pain. Nociceptive pain is considered to be chronic when it has been present for at least 3 months.

The imbalance between bone formation and bone resorption might occur as a result of one or a combination of the following factors:
Increased bone resorption within a remodeling unit.
Decreased bone formation within a remodeling unit (incomplete coupling)

Market Dynamics

Key players in the market are focused on organic growth strategies such as acquisitions, which is expected to drive the global osteoarthritis drugs market growth over the forecast period. For instance, on August 15, 2022, Gurnet Point Capital, an investment service company and Patient Square Capital, a healthcare investment company, announced the completion of their acquisition of Radius Health, Inc., a Biotechnology Company. Radius’ lead product, TYMLOS (abaloparatide) was launched in the U.S. in 2017 for the treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis at high risk for fracture. This acquisition will help the company in further expansion in the osteoarthritis drugs market over the forecast period.

However, use of Non-steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen and naproxen in pain management of osteoarthritis can cause cardiovascular diseases, which in turn is expected to hinder the market growth. For instance, in June 2018, the European League against Rheumatism (EULAR) stated the risk of cardiovascular diseases with the regular use of NSAIDs in the treatment of osteoarthritis pain.
