Regional Market Summary

North America is expected to hold the largest share of the elbow stiffness market. The increasing prevalence of arthritis and rise in injuries in older population are likely to enhance the growth of the elbow stiffness industry. Additionally, factors such as increasing government initiatives and funding for research and development in advanced medical treatment options and rising demand for technologically advanced treatments are likely to enhance the growth of the elbow stiffness market in North America. For instance, according to the American College of Rheumatology, in 2017, around 54.4 million adults in the U.S. had arthritis. Additionally, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, arthritis is the leading cause of disability, aching, stiffness, and swelling of the joints. Similarly, rheumatoid arthritis is estimated to have affected 1.3 million U.S. adults and is likely to affect 78 million adults by 2040.  This growing rate in arthritis disorders is expected to have a direct effect on elbow stiffness as arthritis is a major cause for elbow stiffness.  Additionally, the rising healthcare expenditure for treatments is likely to propel the growth of the elbow stiffness market in the American region.

Europe is the second largest market and holds a healthy share in the global elbow stiffness market. The European market is expected to grow at a strong growth rate during the forecast period owing to the availability of advanced treatment facilities and healthcare expenditure along with growing need for better healthcare infrastructure. Furthermore, increasing prevalence of arthritis, along with the rising older population eventually increasing the patient population are driving the growth of the elbow stiffness market. According to Arthritis and Rheumatism International, in 2015, RMD affected 120 million people in Europe. The increasing prevalence of arthritis and inflammatory joint disorders are expected to propel the elbow stiffness market as joint inflammations are a major cause of elbow stiffness.

Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing market. Factors such as the increasing prevalence of inflammatory disorders and injuries are the major drivers for the market growth. China is expected to be the fastest growing country due to the increasing population and raising awareness about health and availability of new treatment methods. Moreover, increasing healthcare expenditure and rise in the standard of living in the region are driving the growth of the elbow stiffness market in the Asia Pacific region.

The Middle East and Africa is expected to show the least growth in the market due to some major factors such as lack of awareness and limited access and availability of treatment facilities. In the Middle East, the United Arab Emirates is the largest market share owing to the development of the healthcare industry and rising availability of specialty care centers.
