Anti-inflammatory drugs are medications that reduce inflammation in the body. These are commonly used to treat joint pain, arthritis, and other conditions associated with inflammation and pain. Some of the major classes of anti-inflammatory drugs include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids/steroids, biologics, and interleukin blockers. NSAIDs including ibuprofen and naproxen are among the most commonly used anti-inflammatory medications due to their effectiveness and OTC availability. Growing geriatric population, rising prevalence of arthritis and other inflammatory diseases, increasing awareness about inflammatory conditions, and new product launches can drive the anti-inflammatory drugs market growth in the near future.

Market Dynamics:

Global anti-inflammatory drugs market growth is driven by factors such as growing geriatric population, rising prevalence of arthritis and other inflammatory diseases, increasing awareness about inflammatory conditions, new product approvals and launches. As per estimates, over 300 million people suffer from rheumatoid arthritis worldwide. The number of arthritis and inflammatory disease cases is projected to increase significantly due to aging population. This can boost demand for anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment of these diseases. However, factors such as adverse side effects of medications, patent expiries of blockbuster drugs, and development of alternatives like nutraceuticals can hamper the market growth. Emerging economies can offer lucrative opportunities for international players to expand their presence. Ongoing research on innovative formulation technologies and development of biologics with improved efficacy and safety profile can also offer new opportunities.
