Osteonecrosis Treatment Market Size Report | Size, Share & Forecast 2030

[Research Report] The osteonecrosis treatment market size is expected to grow from US$ 637.18 million in 2022 to US$ 1,021.92 million by 2030; the market is estimated to register a CAGR of 6.08% from 2022 to 2030.

Analyst’s Viewpoint

The osteonecrosis treatment market analysis explains growth drivers such as the rising cases of osteonecrosis in people due to an increasing number of road accidents, and long-term use of steroids among patients. Additionally, an upsurge in the geriatric population and growing awareness about bone health favor the osteonecrosis treatment market progress. However, the high costs of surgical treatments and risks associated with treatment drugs impede the market growth. The adoption of orthobiologics and regenerative therapies is likely to emerge as a future trend in the osteonecrosis treatment market during 2022–2030.

Osteonecrosis, also known as avascular necrosis (AVN), is a painful bone disease caused due to the disruption of blood flow to bones; the condition worsens with time and results in the death of bone cells. The risk factors for osteonecrosis include broken bones, dislocated hips, radiation therapy, and alcohol abuse.

Market Insights

Rising Cases of Orthopedic Injuries and Increasing Geriatric Population Drive Osteonecrosis Treatment Market Growth

According to statistics published by Clevelandclinic.org in 2021, 10,000–20,000 Americans are diagnosed with AVN annually, with the condition affecting individuals of all ages and genders. Nearly ~20% of people who experience hip dislocation develop avascular necrosis. The cases of osteonecrosis are rising globally owing to the increasing number of bone and joint injuries caused during fatal accidents. Although osteonecrosis more commonly affects the hip, it can also hamper the condition of the humerus, knee, and talus. As per an article published by StatPearls in 2023, AVN causes 10% of hip arthroplasties in the US, mostly in people aged 30–65. A displaced hip or knee might cut off blood supply to the leg. As a result, the tissues in the leg may not receive enough blood (a condition known as ischemia) and may die (a condition known as necrosis). Elbow or upper arm fractures can occasionally impede blood flow to the forearm, creating similar complications. When blood supply to a bone is interrupted, a portion of the bone may die, causing osteonecrosis. As per an article published in PubMed Central in January 2022, a cohort study was carried out including 170,934 major trauma patients. The study concluded that 78.0% of the major trauma patients with traumatic hip dislocations were injured in road traffic accidents, particularly in motor vehicle accidents (49.9%).

Older people are more likely to experience osteonecrosis as they are more prone to bone degeneration and fractures. In an article published by PubMed in 2020, a study was carried out to assess the effectiveness of cannulated internal fixation in long-term outcomes in 73 patients with femoral neck fracture (FNF), alongside identifying the risk factors affecting outcomes. The study results showed that out of these, 7 (i.e., ~10%) experienced femoral head necrosis and 4 of them underwent hip replacement. According to World Health Organization (WHO), 1 in 6 people across the world would be aged 60 years or over by 2030, with an estimated 1.4 billion people being over the age of 60. Therefore, the burgeoning geriatric population and growing awareness about bone health favor the osteonecrosis treatment market.

Future Trend

Adoption of Orthobiologics and Regenerative Therapies to Emerge as Future Trend in Osteonecrosis Treatment Market

Orthoregeneration is the segment of medicine that leverages the benefits of biology to enhance healing, reduce pain, improve function, and create a favorable environment for tissue regeneration, thereby curing orthopedic conditions. Interventional orthobiologics, whose functioning is based on the principles of orthoregeneration, are revolutionizing the field of orthopedic medicine. Orthobiologics are derived from a patient's tissues such as bone marrow or blood. They consist of signaling molecules or cells that stimulate the healing of musculoskeletal injuries.

Regenerative treatments such as stem cell therapy, platelet-rich plasma therapy, growth factors, and tissue engineering are being studied and assessed in clinical trials to optimize treatment outcomes. In an article published by PubMed Central in January 2023, a study was carried out to evaluate the use of biologics in treating bilateral AVN of the femoral head in a 44-year-old male suffering from the condition. The patient received bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) in the right femoral head and adult autologous live cultured osteoblasts in the left femoral head, after which, he was asked to pay follow-up visits for several years. The study concluded that biological therapy using differentiated osteoblasts is a viable option for AVN femoral head compared to an undifferentiated BMAC cocktail.

Key players in the osteonecrosis treatment market are engaged in the R&D of innovative treatments, along with the launch of products. In February 2021, Additive Orthopedics, LLC, received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for its first patient-specific talus spacer, which is also the world’s first humanitarian-use implant. Similarly, Arthrex, a leading global medical device company, is now offering IntraOsseous BioPlasty (IOBP) technique for spontaneous osteonecrosis of the knee (SONK). This technique involves performing a core decompression of the lesion followed by the direct application of concentrated bone marrow aspirate, which is prepared using the Angel concentrated platelet-rich plasma (cPRP) system.
