Chinese Fibromyalgia Market Size was valued at USD 13.45 Billion in 2023. The Global Chinese Fibromyalgia industry is projected to grow from USD 13.93 Billion in 2024 to USD 21.53 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.32% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032).
Fibromyalgia syndrome is a condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain. Patients with fibromyalgia may also have muscle stiffness, increased sensitivity to pain, problems with mental processes, fatigue, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and others. As symptoms of fibromyalgia syndrome mimic other chronic diseases, therefore its diagnosis takes a long time. According to a study published in Arthritis Research & Therapy journal in 2017, in Taiwan, the risk of coronary heart disease in fibromyalgia patients was 47% higher than in the general population. For fibromyalgia to be diagnosed, the differential diagnosis is most commonly used. Other diagnostic procedures, such as laboratory evaluations are also used.
Notably, increasing cases of rheumatic diseases and growing geriatric population are the key factors driving the Chinese fibromyalgia market. According to the study published in Aging Clinical and Experimental Research in 2014, fibromyalgia syndrome can affect people of all age group, with the high prevalence in the elderly population as the geriatric population is more vulnerable towards pain, reduced mobility, and sleep disruption. In the general population, the prevalence of fibromyalgia increases by 2% at the age of 20 to 8% at the age of 70.
Growing awareness among the population, and rising incidences of traumatic stress and road accidents are also fueling the market growth. According to a study published in Pain Research and Management journal, in 2014, it was found that physical trauma is followed by fibromyalgia syndrome. In this study, conducted with a specific cohort of individuals involved in a motor vehicle collision, found that 8% of individuals developed widespread chronic pain. Widespread chronic pain characterizes fibromyalgia.
However, difficulty in diagnosis may hinder the growth of the market over the forecast period. Fibromyalgia can’t be easily confirmed as the condition is commonly expressed with many other accompanying chronic disorders such as rheumatic diseases, neurological disorders, mental health problems, and others
