DUBLIN, October 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Cold Pain Therapy Market by Product and by Application - Forecast to 2021" report to their offering.

The global market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.0% from 2016 to 2021 to reach USD 1087.7 Million by 2021

The growth in this market is primarily driven by the rising incidence of sports injuries, growing need for safe pain management modalities, and rising regulatory barriers for oral pain medications. Cold pain therapy produces cooling sensations at the site of pain and alleviates the same instantly by distracting the mind from the pain.

Based on product, the market is categorized into OTC and prescription-based products. OTC-based cold pain therapy products are segmented into pharmaceuticals (gels, ointments, and creams, sprays and foams, patches, and roll-ons) and medical devices (cold packs, cooling towels, compresses, wraps, and pads) whereas the prescription-based devices are classified into motorized and non-motorized devices. The OTC segment is expected to command the largest market share in 2016, primarily due to the easy availability of these products without prescription.

On the basis of application, the market is segmented into musculoskeletal disorders, sport medicine, post-operative, post-trauma, and physical therapy. The musculoskeletal disorders segment is expected to witness the highest market share in 2016 due to the increasing number of individuals suffering from arthritis, osteoarthritis, back pain, and joint pain; and the rising proportion of geriatric population.

In 2016, North America accounted for the largest share of the global market, followed by Europe. The Asia-Pacific market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Factors such as the long-term market presence of key cold pain therapy players with established product portfolios in the region and a high preference for topical analgesics are stimulating the growth of the APAC market.
