The inflammatory pain therapeutics market deals with the treatment for inflammatory conditions and associated pain. These therapeutics aim to reduce inflammation and relieve pain caused due to various conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, tendonitis, bursitis, and autoimmune disorders. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, aspirin and naproxen are commonly prescribed for mild to moderate inflammatory pain. For severe conditions, medications such as corticosteroids, disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), biologics and neruoablation techniques are used.

The inflammatory pain therapeutic market is estimated to be valued at USD 4.76 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 7.06 billion by 2031, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8% from 2024 to 2031.



Key players operating in the inflammatory pain therapeutics are Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, AbbVie, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck & Co., Eli Lilly and Amgen.

The growing prevalence of arthritis, fibromyalgia, and other inflammatory diseases is expected to offer significant growth opportunities in the Inflammatory Pain Therapeutic Market. As per estimates, over 54 million adults were diagnosed with arthritis in 2018 in the United States alone.



With rising healthcare expenditure and increasing accessibility, many companies are focusing on expanding their regional presence in emerging markets like Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. However, North America is expected to continue dominating the global inflammatory pain therapeutics market throughout the forecast period.
