The Knee Osteoarthritis Market is experiencing consistent growth due to the rising prevalence of joint-related disorders, an aging global population, increased obesity rates, and advancements in non-invasive as well as surgical treatment options. Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is among the most common musculoskeletal conditions, characterized by cartilage degeneration, chronic pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. As the demand for effective pain management solutions rises, the market continues to evolve with innovative pharmaceuticals, biologics, regenerative therapies, and orthopedic devices.

The global knee osteoarthritis market size was valued at USD 7.70 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 15.69 billion by 2032, at a CAGR of 9.30% during the forecast period

Growing patient awareness, new clinical studies on disease-modifying osteoarthritis drugs (DMOADs), and improved access to healthcare services are contributing to the market expansion across various regions.

Market Drivers

1. Increasing Geriatric Population

Knee osteoarthritis is highly prevalent among older adults. With global life expectancy rising, the incidence of KOA is increasing, boosting demand for treatments such as pain medications, physical therapy, and joint replacements.

2. Rising Obesity and Sedentary Lifestyle

Obesity is a major risk factor for osteoarthritis due to excess pressure on knee joints. The rise in sedentary behavior and unhealthy diets is accelerating disease progression, fueling market growth.

3. Advancements in Regenerative Therapies

Innovations such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), stem cell injections, and tissue engineering are gaining popularity as alternatives to invasive surgery, providing long-term pain relief and joint preservation.

4. Improved Surgical Techniques

Minimally invasive surgical procedures and advanced implant technologies are driving the demand for knee arthroplasty. Enhanced recovery protocols and personalized implants further support market expansion.
