North America has established itself as the dominant region in the global fibromyalgia treatment market and is estimated to hold 36.7% of the market share in 2024. The U.S., in particular, has a large patient base suffering from fibromyalgia due to growing awareness and clinical acceptance of the condition. Several major pharmaceutical companies have been operating in the country for decades and have well-established sales and distribution networks. This provides patients with easy access to approved drugs for fibromyalgia treatment. Furthermore, the reimbursement scenario for fibromyalgia drugs is favorable in the US due to fact that several government-funded health insurance plans primarily cover treatment costs. This encourages patients to seek and maintain medication-based fibromyalgia management. Leading generic manufacturers have also strengthened their presence by launching affordable generics of blockbuster brands, which are widely preferred due to their cost-effectiveness.

The Asia Pacific region has emerged as the fastest growing regional market for fibromyalgia treatment over the past few years. Rapid economic development and improving access to healthcare facilities across developing countries such as China and India have significantly boosted the volumes. There is rising health awareness regarding chronic pain disorders like fibromyalgia. Additionally, various initiatives by public as well as private organizations to educate clinicians have enhanced the diagnostic rates over time. While generic drug makers from India and China have increased exports volumes, several big pharmaceutical companies have also entered the market through partnerships with regional players. This has augmented the availability of prescription medications across national and international outlets. Meanwhile, medical tourism has contributed to the sales volume with many patients travelling to countries like Thailand and Singapore for treatment of difficult to manage cases of fibromyalgia.
