Degenerative disc diseases are very frequent and debilitating disorders, and R&D activities surrounding this disease are highly cost intensive. Hence, many fund raising companies and manufacturers are engaged in raising funds for their research regarding the treatment of degenerative disc diseases.
Depending upon the level of pain, degenerative disc disease can be treated with two common processes which are non-surgical and spinal fusion. Non-surgical treatments include medications, physical therapy and chiropractic care. Whereas, spinal fusion is a procedure used to surgically treat degenerative disc disease.
The degenerative disc disease treatment market is expected to exhibit significant growth over the forecast period. This is owing to technological advancements such as artificial discs. For instance, in 2013, Zimmer Biomet launched Mobi-C, a two-level artificial disc for patients with issues at two consecutive spinal disc. Furthermore, manufacturers are focusing on acquisition strategies to strengthen their product portfolios which is expected to drive global degenerative disc disease treatment market growth. For instance, Centinel Spine in October 2017, entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire the ProDisc Total Disc Replacement portfolio from DePuy Synthes.
The global degenerative disc disease treatment market size was valued at US$ 1,736.4 million in 2019, and is expected to witness a CAGR of 9.0% over the forecast period (2019 – 2027).
