What are the Key Trends in the Market for Chondroitin Sulfate?

Gaining Prominence as a 'Bioactive' Supplement for Osteoarthritis Patients”

Chondroitin sulfate is being widely consumed as an alternative medicine to decelerate the progression of osteoarthritis. Chondroitin sulfate also helps reduce joint pain and inflammation. Regular consumption of chondroitin sulfate leads to improved joint functions. Commercial chondroitin sulfate is a mixture of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate. Apart from improving the joint functions, chondroitin sulfate can also be used as an eye drop for sore eyes, besides having veterinary uses.

The major cause of disability among the ageing population is osteoarthritis. When compared to men, women are more likely to be affected by osteoarthritis, and the occurrence rate also increases with age. According to the Arthritis Research United Kingdom, by 2035, around 8.3 million people in the country aged 45 years and above could have knee osteoarthritis. This rising prevalence is expected to increase the demand for chondroitin sulfate among supplement, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical manufacturers, thereby boosting the growth of the chondroitin sulfate market.
