Knee bursitis is inflammation of a small fluid-filled sac (bursa) situated near the knee joint. Bursae reduce friction and cushion pressure points between bones and the tendons, muscles, and skin near joints. Knee bursitis signs and symptoms vary, depending on which bursa is affected and what's causing the inflammation. Generally, the affected portion of knee might feel warm, tender, and swollen when pressure is applied. But most cases of knee bursitis result from friction and irritation of the bursa that occurs in jobs that require a lot of kneeling on hard surfaces. 

Knee bursitis can be caused by frequent and sustained pressure, such as kneeling, especially on hard surfaces, overuse or strenuous activity, a direct blow to the knee, a bacterial infection of the bursa, complications from osteoarthritis, and others. Risk factors for knee bursitis is a common complaint, but the risk of developing this painful disorder can increase from prolonged kneeling. For instance, people who work on their knees for long periods such as carpet layers, plumbers, and gardeners are at increased risk of knee bursitis. Sports that result in direct blows or frequent falls on the knee such as wrestling, football, and volleyball can increase your risk of knee bursitis. Runners can develop pain and inflammation in the pes anserine bursa, situated on the inner side knee below the joint.

The global knee bursitis market is expecting a sound growth in the coming future owing to the increasing prevalence of bone-related diseases and favorable reimbursement policies. Mostly all diabetic patients suffer from some or the other knee bursitis. According to findings from the WHO in 2014, approximately 422 million people reported suffering from diabetes. Due to the increasing diabetic population across the globe, there is a significant increase in the number of people with knee bursitis. Additionally, increasing geriatric population and increasing healthcare expenditure have fuelled the growth of the market. On the other hand, strict regulatory rules and the high cost of the treatment methods may slow the growth of the market during the forecast period.
