Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis that are affecting millions of people globally. Globally, over 200 million women suffer from osteoporosis. 1 in 3 postmenopausal women has osteoporosis, which increases with age. Therefore, increasing prevalence of geriatric population is also a major cause for the rising incidences of osteoarthritis. As per the United Nations (UN), by 2050, 1 in 6 people globally will be more than the age of 65, increased from 1 in 11 in 2019. In 2019, 703 million people were aged 65 years or over globally, which is expected to double to 1.5 billion in 2050.

Osteoporosis commonly affects joints in hips, knees, spine, and hands, which results in the increasing number of hip and knee replacements. As per the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI), in 2017-2018, 70,502 knee replacements and 58,492 hip replacements were performed in Canada. This shows a rise of 17.0% and 17.4%, respectively, over the last 5 years. According to the National Joint Registry for England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man (NJR), there were a total of 242,629 cases registered to NJR during 2016/2017. It has shown a significant rise of over 20,000 joint replacement procedures than the previous year. This, in turn, is contributing to the adoption of fondaparinux to prevent deep vein thrombosis (blood clot) after the procedure.

Fondaparinux is used for the treatment of severe blood clots in the lungs or legs. It is often utilizing with another blood thinner drugs (warfarin). If blood clots are untreated, it can travel to the brain, heart, or lungs, causing serious breathing problems, stroke, or heart attack. Fondaparinux is further used for the prevention of blood clots after some procedures with an increased risk of blood clots, including knee and hip replacements, abdominal surgery, and hip fracture. Fondaparinux works similarly like heparin that blocks the activity of some clotting substances in the blood. However, fondaparinux has a longer half-life than heparin and does not interact with platelets. This, in turn, is contributing to the growth of the global fondaparinux market.
