Chronic Lower Back Pain (CLBP) - Epidemiology Forecast - 2034

Chronic Lower Back Pain (CLBP) - Epidemiology Forecast - 2034

Key Highlights

DelveInsight’s analyst projects that the total diagnosed prevalent of Chronic Lower Back Pain cases in 7MM were approximately 67 million in 2022 and these cases are going to increase because of changes in psychosocial and physical work demands, risk factors for LBP (2023–2034).

According to DelveInsight’s analysis, the total number of diagnosed prevalent cases of CLBP in the US was found to be nearly 30 million in 2022 and is estimated to increase with a significant CAGR throughout the forecast period.

In 2022, the total number of diagnosed prevalent cases of CLBP was approximately 27 million in EU4 and the UK, which is anticipated to increase during the study period [2020–2034].

According to DelveInsight’s estimates, Japan accounted for nearly 16% of the total number of diagnosed prevalent cases of CLBP in the 7MM in 2022.

Chronic Lower Back Pain Disease Understanding

Chronic Lower Back Pain Overview

Chronic Lower Back Pain (CLBP) is sudden damage to the brain caused by a blow or jolt to the head. Common causes include car or motorcycle crashes, falls, sports injuries, and assaults. It is evident that many people dealing with persistent chronic pain also have feelings of anxiety or depression, which worsen their CLBP. A valuable approach involves screening for these psychological conditions and providing patients with antidepressants or counseling when there is a psychological component to their pain syndrome.

Chronic Lower Back Pain Diagnosis

Despite ongoing advancements in medical diagnostic techniques, the majority of back pain cases still lack a definitive diagnosis of the underlying source. Many patients undergo inappropriate treatments without a clear understanding of the origin of their back pain, leading to significant financial expenditures on diagnostic evaluations that often fail to identify the precise cause. This persistent challenge highlights an unmet need for more effective and accurate diagnostic tools to discern the physical and non-physical sources of back pain, ultimately improving the targeted and efficient management of this common health issue.

Chronic Lower Back Pain Epidemiology

As the market is derived using the patient-based model, the Chronic Lower Back Pain epidemiology chapter in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented by Prevalent Cases of CLBP, Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of CLBP, Gender-specific Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of CLBP, and Age-specific Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of CLBP in the 7MM covering the United States, EU4 countries (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain) and the United Kingdom, and Japan, from 2020 to 2034.

According to DelveInsight estimations, approximately 80 million prevalent cases of CLBP were found in 2022 in the 7MM.

The United States exhibited the highest diagnosed prevalent population of CLBP, as compared to other 7MM countries. As per DelveInsight’s estimations, the total number of diagnosed prevalent cases with Chronic Lower Back Pain in the US was around 30 million in 2022 and is projected to increase during the forecast period owing to the increasing prevalent population.

According to DelveInsight’s estimates, the Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of CLBP in EU4 and the UK were found to be 27 million in 2022. Throughout the study period, it is anticipated that there will be a substantial increase in cases for all contributing countries, except for Germany, where the cases are projected to decline due to factors such as a decreasing population and other factors. The highest proportion of CLBP cases was reported in Spain among the EU4 countries, while the least number of cases was found in France.

The estimates show the Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of CLBP in Japan was found to be around 10 million in 2022, which is estimated to decrease by 2034 because of the decreasing country population.

The Gender-specific Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of CLBP in the 7MM were approximately 37 million for females and 30 million for males in 2022 and are expected to increase within the forecast period (2023–2034). The increased prevalence in females is likely due to a combination of factors, including psychological factors, female hormone fluctuations, and others.

As per DelveInsight’s analysis, the Age-specific Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of CLBP based on age were categorized into 18-29 years, 30-39 years, 40-49 years, 50-59 years, 60-69 years, and 70+ years. The higher number of cases (~7 million) was accounted for by the 70+ years age group in 2022 in the US.

KOL Views

To gaze into the epidemiology insights of the real world, we take KOLs and SMEs’ opinions working in the domain through primary research to fill the data gaps and validate our secondary research on disease prevalence.
