Steroid injections are used to treat conditions such as joint pain,
arthritis, sciatica, and inflammatory bowel disease. Steroid injections
contain cortisone and a numbing medicine. These are synthetic versions
of hormones normally produced by adrenal glands, two small glands found
above the kidneys. Steroid injections, also known as corticosteroid
injections, are anti-inflammatory medicines. Short-acting steroids can
give relief within hours and should last for at least a week. The
primary purpose of steroid injection is to decrease pain and increase
movement. Longer-acting steroids can take around a week to become
effective, but can ease a person’s symptoms for 2 months or longer.
Steroid injections are only administered by health care professionals
through different routes such as joint, muscle, spine, and blood.
Epidural steroid injections are low risk, useful, non-surgical tools to
combat lower back pain and sciatica (radicular pain) caused by
inflammation.
High unmet needs, rise in prevalence of bone and joint diseases,
government awareness programs for joint disorders, increase in obese
population due to unhealthy lifestyle, and favorable health care
insurance coverage are the key factors propelling the global steroid
injections market. According to Statistic Brain Research Institute, 50
million people have been diagnosed with some form of arthritis globally.
Increase in health awareness among people, advancement in steroid
injection treatment, and rise in demand of steroid injections are the
other factors driving the global steroid injections market. However,
stringent regulation and adverse effects of product are likely to hamper
the global steroid injections market.

The market in Asia Pacific is expected to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period due to increase in research & development, rapid population growth, and booming medical tourism. According to Arthritis-India, arthritis affects over 180 million people in India. This prevalence is higher than many well-known diseases such as diabetes, AIDS, and cancer. India will emerge as the capital of osteoarthritis by 2025, with over 60 million likely to be affected.
