Some of the key facts of the Knee Osteoarthritis Market Report:
The Knee Osteoarthritis market size was valued at approximately USD 15.5 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach nearly USD 26.0 billion by 2036, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5% during the 2026–2036 forecast period.
In April 2026, Developers of novel therapeutic candidates, including BBM-A101, NCR100, and other regenerative technologies, continued to make progress through early- and mid-stage clinical trials, highlighting increasing industry investment in next-generation disease-modifying strategies for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis.
In February 2026, Clinical development efforts continued to advance across a range of investigational therapies, including gene-based treatments, stem cell-derived products, and biologic candidates aimed at enhancing cartilage regeneration, reducing joint inflammation, and improving overall disease outcomes in knee osteoarthritis.
In January 2026, Biosplice Therapeutics, Inc., a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing first-in-class therapies through small-molecule inhibition of CLK/DYRK kinases, announced the submission of a New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. FDA for its investigational knee osteoarthritis treatment. The company’s lead candidate, lorecivivint (LOR), is a small-molecule injectable suspension designed for intra-articular administration once or twice annually. Evaluated across 11 clinical studies, LOR demonstrated meaningful improvements in pain and physical function while maintaining a favorable safety profile. Findings from the Phase 3 OA-07 trial further showed sustained improvements in medial joint space width on imaging over multiple years, supporting LOR’s potential to become the first disease-modifying therapy for osteoarthritis.
In May 2025, Lipogems announced the successful completion of its ARISE I U.S. FDA IDE Study, with the final patient visit now concluded. This marks a significant milestone in progressing Lipogems as a treatment option for knee osteoarthritis (OA) in patients who are not eligible for or ready to undergo knee replacement. The double-blind, randomized controlled trial included 173 participants across 18 leading U.S. clinical sites. The study’s primary focus is on assessing pain relief and functional improvement 12 months after injection. Results on efficacy and safety are anticipated by late 2025.
In May 2025, Genascence Corporation, a clinical-stage biotech firm focused on transforming musculoskeletal disease treatment through gene therapy, reported positive 12-month safety and biomarker findings from its Phase 1b DONATELLO trial of GNSC-001. This investigational gene therapy targets interleukin 1 (IL-1) for treating knee osteoarthritis (OA). The 12-month results confirmed the trial met its primary endpoint, showing consistent safety and tolerability across all tested doses. Additionally, the study met a key secondary endpoint, demonstrating sustained IL-1Ra expression in synovial fluid, reinforcing the six-month data previously reported.
In May 2025, Moximed, a pioneering medical device company focused on enhancing care for individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA), announced that the first patients have been treated in its latest randomized controlled trial (RCT). The MOTION study is a prospective, multicenter trial designed to compare the effectiveness of the MISHA Knee System against non-surgical treatment options in patients with medial knee osteoarthritis.
In April 2025, Pacira BioSciences reported that its gene therapy candidate, PCRX-201 (enekinragene inzadenovec), showed long-lasting improvements in knee pain, mobility, and stiffness for up to two years in a Phase I trial. Participants received a single local injection of the therapy. The study included 72 individuals aged 30 to 80, categorized based on the severity of their knee osteoarthritis using the Kellgren-Lawrence (K/L) grading system.
In April 2025, Israel-based Enlivex Therapeutics announced the completion of enrollment for the Phase II portion of its Phase I/II trial evaluating Allocetra, an off-the-shelf cell therapy for moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis. In this phase, over 133 subjects were randomized and treated. The multi-center, randomized trial is divided into two stages, with Phase I being an open-label, dose-escalation study focused on assessing the safety and tolerability of Allocetra injections into the knee.
In March 2025, RION, a clinical-stage company specializing in regenerative medicine and exosome-based therapies, announced the enrollment of the first patient in its Phase 1b trial of Purified Exosome Product™ (PEP™) for treating Knee Osteoarthritis (OA). This marks a significant step in RION’s mission to develop cutting-edge regenerative solutions for unmet medical needs.

Knee Osteoarthritis Overview
Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease where the cartilage in the knee deteriorates over time, causing pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility. It is commonly associated with aging, injury, or overuse, leading to the wear and tear of the knee joint. Symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe disability, often affecting daily activities.
