Patellar tendinitis market research report by diagnosis (physical examination, imaging tests) treatment (corticosteroid injection, platelet-rich plasma injection, surgery, medical devices), end user (hospitals & clinics) - Global forecast till 2032

Global Patellar Tendinitis Market Overview

Patellar Tendinitis Market Size was valued at USD 74.56 Billion in 2023. The Global Patellar Tendinitis industry is projected to grow from USD 78.45 Billion in 2024 to USD 201.23 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.45% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032).

Tendons are thick cords that attach the muscles to the bones. Inflammation of these tendons is known as tendinitis. Repetitive movement, injury or diseases conditions are main causes of the tendinitis, with severe pain, swelling or tenderness at the affected area. Use of over-the-counter drugs or pain relievers such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), rest therapy and physical therapy are commonly used treatment measures for this condition. 

Delayed diagnosis of patellar tendinitis may require a surgery to reduce pain, and improve the movement. Tendinitis is found to be prevalent among athletes or sports players as a result of continuous strain on the tendons due to a rigorous workout, running and other activities. Moreover, patellar tendinitis is an injury to the tendon connecting kneecap (patella). The patellar tendon works with the muscles at the front of the thigh to knee. Patellar tendinitis or tendonitis is also known as jumper's knee and is most common in athletes whose sports involve frequent jumping such as basketball and volleyball. However, even people who don't participate in jumping sports can get patellar tendinitis

Increasing prevalence of sports injury, increasing investment by biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries in R&D, and rising need for the better treatment methods drive the growth of the market. Furthermore, favorable reimbursement policies, increased application and significant investments in the development of new technologies for the treatment of diseases are likely to fuel the market growth during the forecast period. Moreover, increasing geriatric population is boost the market growth. Established market players in the developed countries lead the globalization by pushing new products and services into the developing countries and emerging economies. However, side-effects and higher treatment cost may hinder the Patellar Tendinitis Market growth during the forecast period.
