Market Insight

Cold pain therapy uses cold materials to relieve pain. It is an essential injury management skill. Ice packs are primarily used on injuries and inflammations to reduce pain and swelling. Cold pain therapy is majorly used on fresh injuries such as muscle sprains, ligament sprains, and severe bruises. Cold compression slows the flow of blood to the injury and thus reduces pain, inflammation, and muscle spasm. The rising adoption of safer pain management techniques propels the demand for cold pain therapy.

The rising prevalence of sports injuries will augment the growth of the cold pain therapy market. A study estimated that 2.9 million people get injured annually due to sports activities, playgrounds, and athletic field activities. The surge in the number of hip and knee surgeries worldwide led to the rise in the adoption of cold pain therapy. Additionally, emphasis on gym activities and exercises for maintaining health stimulates the demand for cold pain therapy. The rising healthcare expenditure for physical injuries caused due to lack of activity and obesity propel the expansion of cold pain therapy market. Furthermore, the rise in the number of patients with orthopedic diseases boosts the demand for cold pain therapy. According to the World Health Organization, 9.6% of men and 18.0% of women aged more than 60 years have osteoarthritis globally. In addition, the growing geriatric population contributes to the growth of the cold pain therapy market. Aged people are prone to arthritis and joint disorders propelling the demand for cold pain therapy. The rising number of traumatic injuries occurred due to mishaps, falls, and road accidents are one of the major contributors to the expansion of the cold pain therapy market. On the flip side, increasing the use of low priced analgesic pain relief pills hamper the growth of the cold pain therapy market. Moreover, rising regulatory barriers to oral pain medications create several opportunities for the growth of the cold pain therapy market.

North America is anticipated to have a dominant share in the global cold pain therapy market. The growing prevalence of orthopedic diseases and the rising adoption of advanced devices in the region led to the growth of cold pain therapy in North America. In addition, increasing the obese and geriatric population in North America is one of the major factors leading to a rise in demand for cold pain therapy in the region. Asia-Pacific region is expected to grow with a healthy CAGR in the global cold pain therapy market over the forecast period. The rising healthcare awareness and surge in the number of osteoarthritis and orthopedic patients in the Asia-Pacific region contribute to the expansion of the cold pain therapy market in Asia-Pacific.
