The rise in the prevalence of arthritis and musculoskeletal disorders is driving the demand for joint pain injections usage, especially among the population aged 65 years or older as they are more prone to joint pains.

According to the Arthritis Research UK report named, “The State of Musculoskeletal Health 2018”, it is estimated that 17.8 million people live with a musculoskeletal condition in the UK. Which is around 28.9% of the total population. As oral medications do not relieve joint pains and most of the patients are not interested in approaching surgeries joint pain injections act as the most desirable procedures.

However, lack of awareness regarding these injections and the high cost of the products might hamper the growth of the market.
