Revenue Analysis of Cartilage Degeneration Treatment (2017-2021) Vs. Market Growth Estimations (2022-2027)

Cartilage degeneration leads to many complications and results in bone diseases such as osteoarthritis and the world has witnessed a notable increase in the incidence of such ailments. This trend is expected to be rife across the forecast period as well and is anticipated to primarily drive cartilage degeneration market growth through 2027.

Increasing incidence of accidents and trauma are also anticipated to drive the demand for cartilage repair over the years to come. The increasing geriatric population, rising prevalence of obesity, growing number of sports injuries, and technological advancements in the global cartilage repair market are other factors that influence cartilage degeneration market potential.

However, the high costs of cartilage repair therapies and the lack of favorable reimbursement scenarios in most countries are anticipated to have a restraining effect on the overall market growth going forward.

From 2022 to 2027, the global cartilage degeneration market is slated to exhibit expansion at a moderate CAGR of 5.7%.

What Aspects Will Determine Cartilage Degeneration Market Future?

“Growing Senescent Population & Increase in Sports Injuries Driving Market Progress”

The aging population has been increasing in most parts of the world and this sect of people is more prone to bone diseases and disorders as cartilages degrade over time with age. Countries such as China and the United States are anticipated to witness a notable rise in the geriatric population and emerge as lucrative markets for companies in the cartilage degeneration industry.

People are more involved in outdoor and sports activities than ever before owing to the increasing focus on health and fitness and this has resulted in a rise in sports injuries, which is expected to promulgate cartilage degeneration market potential throughout the forecast period.

“High Costs of Surgeries to Hamper Market Growth”

Bone therapies and surgeries are usually associated with a hefty price tag owing to the use of advanced therapeutics and technologies that increase overall treatment costs. This factor is expected to have a negative impact on cartilage repair/cartilage regeneration market growth across the forecast period. The absence of favorable reimbursement policies is also a prospect that could potentially slow down cartilage degeneration market potential going forward.

Which Regions Hold a Bright Future for Cartilage Degeneration Treatment Providers?

“North America & Asia Pacific to Provide Highly Attractive Business Scope”

The cartilage degeneration market in North America accounts for a dominant market share at present and is expected to hold its position throughout the forecast period. The presence of developed healthcare infrastructure, favorable reimbursement policies, increasing obesity, rising number of sports injuries, and advancements in cartilage repair treatments are some of the prime factors that are predicted to shape cartilage degeneration market growth in this region.

The Canada cartilage degeneration market is projected to exhibit evolution at a CAGR of 4.5% over the next five years.

The Asia Pacific cartilage degeneration market is anticipated to witness expansion at a higher CAGR than other regions owing to the increasing geriatric population and rising availability of cartilage degeneration treatments. Increasing investments in healthcare infrastructure development, supportive government initiatives, growing geriatric population, and increasing adoption of advanced treatment technologies are other factors that could dictate cartilage degeneration market growth through 2027.

China, India, and Japan are projected to be the key markets in this region across the forecast period. The China cartilage degeneration market is slated to evolve at a 5% CAGR throughout the forecast period to end up with a revenue valuation of US$ 2.8 billion by the end of 2027.

Meanwhile, the market for cartilage degeneration in Japan is anticipated to progress at a CAGR of 4.8% over the coming years.
