• There is a prediction for a significant surge in the aspirin market size in the coming years. The growth expectations lie at $3.38 billion by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0%.
The impending growth during the forecast period can be linked to an upsurge in chronic illnesses, the likelihood of benefits for neurological problems, advancements in the pharmaceutical sector, more widespread usage in emerging regions, and the increased prevalence of self-care routines. Key trends projected for the forecast period include research into cancer prevention, collaborative therapies, personalized medical strategies, tailor-made dosages and delivery systems, as well as telemedicine and self-care.
The growing occurrence of arthritis is anticipated to boost the aspirin market's expansion in the future. Arthritis, a medical condition characterized by joint pain and inflammation, intensifies the demand for Aspirin. As a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicine, Aspirin helps manage chronic pain associated with arthritis and other disorders by minimizing inflammation and alleviating pain to improve function. The rise in arthritis cases consequently escalates the consumption of Aspirin. For example, the UK's Health and Safety Executive (HSE) reported in November 2023 that the total work-related musculoskeletal disorder cases spiked at 473,000 in 2022-2023, corresponding to a prevalence rate of 1,400 per 100,000 workers. Additionally, 132,000 new cases were reported, signifying an incidence rate of 390 per 100,000 workers. Consequently, the escalating occurrence of arthritis is catalyzing the expansion of the aspirin market.

Leading enterprises in the aspirin market are leveraging strategic partnerships to augment technological synergies and broaden their market footprint. A strategic partnership generally implies a cooperative alliance between two or more entities, pooling their resources, competencies, and endeavors to accomplish shared objectives or targets. For instance, Huma Therapeutics Limited ("Huma"), a UK-based firm specializing in digital health, forged a partnership with Bayer AG, a life sciences firm based in Germany, in February 2023. They introduced the Bayer Aspirin Heart Risk Assessment online tool which equips users with the ability to determine their likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease within the next ten years with an option to disclose the results to their physician. Huma devised an algorithm which prognosticates the long-term risk of cardiovascular disease, using data from the UK's Biobank. The Heart Risk Assessment tool is readily accessible on Bayer Aspirin's website, featuring an easily navigable questionnaire comprised of 15 queries. Users’ responses will determine their risks of developing cardiovascular disease, categorized as being higher, average, or lower, contrasting their answers with those of the research population.
