Sarcopenia Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends & Analysis, Report and Forecast 2024-2032

Sarcopenia is a progressive and generalized condition that affects the skeletal muscle system, leading to reduced muscle strength, mass, and function. It is associated with increased risk of falls, fractures, disability, and mortality in older adults. According to the International Working Group on Sarcopenia (IWGS), sarcopenia affects about 10% of adults over 60 years of age and more than 50% of those over 80 years of age. The global prevalence of sarcopenia is expected to rise due to the aging population and the increasing burden of chronic diseases.

The sarcopenia market is estimated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3% during the forecast period. The major factors driving the growth of the market are the rising awareness and diagnosis of sarcopenia, the increasing demand for nutritional supplements and pharmacological interventions, the development of novel biomarkers and diagnostic tools, and the growing research and development activities in the field.

However, the market also faces some challenges, such as the lack of a universally accepted definition and diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia, the high cost and limited availability of some treatments, the lack of reimbursement policies and regulatory guidelines, and the low adherence and compliance of patients to the prescribed therapies.

Key Drivers and Constraints

The key drivers of the sarcopenia market are:

  • The increasing prevalence of sarcopenia and its associated comorbidities, such as osteoporosis, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and obesity, among the elderly population. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of people aged 60 years and above is expected to increase from 900 million in 2015 to 2 billion in 2050, accounting for 22% of the global population. This will create a huge demand for sarcopenia treatment and management.
  • The growing awareness and diagnosis of sarcopenia among patients, physicians, and caregivers, as well as the availability of various screening and assessment tools, such as the SARC-F questionnaire, the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) algorithm, the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and the bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). These tools help to identify the risk factors, the severity, and the progression of sarcopenia, and to monitor the response to the treatment.
  • The increasing demand for nutritional supplements and pharmacological interventions for sarcopenia, such as protein, vitamin B12, vitamin D, calcium, creatine, omega-3 fatty acids, testosterone, selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs), myostatin inhibitors, and ghrelin agonists. These products help to improve the muscle mass, strength, and function, and to prevent or delay the onset of sarcopenia. The market for nutritional supplements is expected to dominate the sarcopenia market, as they are widely available, affordable, and safe.
  • The development of novel biomarkers and diagnostic tools for sarcopenia, such as the serum creatinine, the skeletal muscle mass index (SMI), the handgrip strength, the gait speed, the physical performance battery (PPB), and the sarcopenia quality of life (SarQoL) questionnaire. These biomarkers and tools help to improve the accuracy, reliability, and standardization of the diagnosis and prognosis of sarcopenia, and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the treatment.
  • The growing research and development activities in the field of sarcopenia, supported by the increasing funding and collaboration from the public and private sectors, such as the National Institute on Aging (NIA), the European Union (EU), the Sarcopenia and Physical Frailty in Older People: Multi-Component Treatment Strategies (SPRINTT) project, the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH) Biomarkers Consortium, and the International Conference on Frailty and Sarcopenia Research (ICFSR). These activities aim to explore the pathophysiology, the epidemiology, the prevention, and the treatment of sarcopenia, and to discover new therapeutic targets and strategies.

The key constraints of the sarcopenia market are:

  • The lack of a universally accepted definition and diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia, leading to the variability and inconsistency in the diagnosis and classification of sarcopenia across different regions and settings. There are several definitions and criteria proposed by different organizations and experts, such as the IWGS, the EWGSOP, the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS), the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH) Sarcopenia Project, and the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM). However, there is no consensus on the cut-off values, the measurement methods, and the clinical relevance of these definitions and criteria.
  • The high cost and limited availability of some treatments for sarcopenia, such as the pharmacological interventions, the DXA, and the BIA. These treatments are often not covered by the insurance or reimbursement policies, and are not accessible or affordable for many patients, especially in the low- and middle-income countries. Moreover, some of these treatments may have adverse effects, such as the risk of infection, bleeding, cardiovascular events, and prostate cancer, associated with the testosterone therapy.
  • The lack of reimbursement policies and regulatory guidelines for sarcopenia, as sarcopenia is not recognized as a disease or a medical condition by many health authorities and agencies, such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the European Medicines Agency (EMA), and the WHO.
  • The low adherence and compliance of patients to the prescribed therapies for sarcopenia, such as the nutritional supplements, the pharmacological interventions, and the exercise programs. The reasons for the low adherence and compliance include the lack of awareness, the lack of motivation, the lack of support, the lack of convenience, the lack of efficacy, and the presence of side effects. The low adherence and compliance may lead to the suboptimal outcomes and the increased health care costs.
