The musculoskeletal market is the sixth largest therapeutic category by sales and generated over US$228 billion (+0.8% YoY) in 2005. Sales grew strongly in the US and Europe which accounted for 54% and 23% of sales however, sales have slowed significantly, largely due to the withdrawal of a number of COX-2 inhibitors during 2004 and early 2005.
Two of the largest segments of the musculoskeletal market are rheumatoid arthritis (anti-rheumatics) and osteoporosis (bone calcium regulators). The remaining sales are derived from the treatment of a mixture of aetiologies such as anti-inflammatory conditions and muscle relaxants.
