Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) affect muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and soft tissues in the body, often resulting from factors such as repetitive motion, poor posture, overuse, and incorrect lifting techniques. Compound camphor ointment, known for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, is commonly used to alleviate pain and inflammation in joints and muscles, making it particularly beneficial for musculoskeletal issues. For example, as per the World Health Organization's report in July 2022, approximately 1.71 billion people worldwide suffer from musculoskeletal conditions. Additionally, an international study by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington projected a 115% increase in musculoskeletal disorders in the US from 2020 to 2050, reaching 1.06 billion cases. Hence, the growing prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders is propelling the compound camphor ointment market.
