Viscosupplementation Market by Product, Source, Application, End-use

List of Tables

[184 Pages Report] The Viscosupplementation Market size was estimated at USD 2.83 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 3.01 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 6.19% to reach USD 4.32 billion by 2030.

Viscosupplementation is a medical procedure involving the injection of hyaluronic acid into a joint, such as the knee, to relieve pain caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis. As a non-surgical treatment option, viscosupplementation aims to improve joint function, reduce pain, and possibly delay joint replacement surgery. Increasing incidences of joint disorders and sport-related injuries, a growing elderly population that is more susceptible to such ailments, and the rising preference for minimally invasive procedures significantly contribute to market growth. However, the existence of alternative treatment options, including steroid injections and non-pharmacologic therapies, may impede market growth. Nevertheless, technological advancements in formulating and delivering hyaluronic acid and healthcare infrastructure improvements are expected to create potential opportunities for developing the viscosupplementation market.

Products: Burgeoning adoption of a three-injection regimen to reduce pain and enhance mobility in patients with osteoarthritis

The five-injection regimen is a viscosupplementation treatment consisting of five hyaluronic acid (HA) injections. This course of therapy is typically administered once per week over five consecutive weeks. Primarily used for the management of knee osteoarthritis, this treatment aims to restore the lubricating and cushioning properties of the synovial fluid in the joint. The Single-Injection Regimen offers an alternative approach to viscosupplementation with the convenience of a one-time injection. This product is formulated with a high concentration of hyaluronic acid and often includes cross-linking agents that enhance the durability and longevity of the treatment within the joint. The Three-Injection Regimen is a widely adopted viscosupplementation treatment that involves a series of three hyaluronic acid injections. These are typically administered one week apart and are designed to supplement the viscous properties of synovial fluid in the joint space. The primary goal of this treatment is to relieve pain and enhance mobility in patients with osteoarthritis. The three-injection regimen strikes a balance between the more extensive five-injection course and the single-injection alternative, offering a middle ground in terms of treatment commitment and duration of symptom relief.

Source: Growing preference for non-animal-based hyaluronic acid as it eliminates hypersensitivity reaction risks

Animal-based sources have been the primary means of obtaining hyaluronic acid for viscosupplementation. Animal-based sources utilize tissues from rooster combs, which are rich in hyaluronic acid or are extracted from other avian tissues. Non-animal-based hyaluronic acid is produced through bacterial fermentation processes. Genetically modified strains of bacteria, such as Streptococcus zooepidemicus, are used to biosynthesize high-purity HA. Non-animal HA is considered safe and effective, eliminating the risks associated with avian proteins that can cause hypersensitivity reactions. Additionally, non-animal-based HA has been gaining popularity due to ethical considerations and consistency in production.

Applications: Evolving applications of viscosupplementation treatment for knee osteoarthritis

Hyaluronic acid is directly injected into the affected joint in the viscosupplementation treatment for hand osteoarthritis. This treatment is used when traditional non-surgical treatments such as pain medications and physical therapy have not provided adequate relief. The main benefit of viscosupplementation for hand osteoarthritis lies in its pain reduction and, hence, improvement in function and quality of life. Viscosupplementation is a proven therapeutic measure to alleviate pain and improve functionality in patients with hip osteoarthritis, particularly those not responding to conventional treatments. The procedure for the hip joint is more complex, often requiring ultrasound or X-ray guidance due to the hip's deep-seated nature. A key advantage of viscosupplementation in hip osteoarthritis is its superior safety profile compared to long-term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Knee osteoarthritis is the most common application for viscosupplementation since the knee is a major weight-bearing joint and, therefore, is highly susceptible to wear and tear. The viscosupplementation procedure aims to restore the natural properties of the synovial fluid lost to knee osteoarthritis.

End-use: Proliferating utilization of viscosupplementation treatment in orthopedic clinics/ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs)

Hospitals represent a significant end-use sector for viscosupplementation, a therapeutic option for patients suffering from osteoarthritis, particularly in the knee joint. As comprehensive medical facilities with a multidisciplinary approach, hospitals are pivotal in providing this minimally invasive procedure. Viscosupplementation involves the intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid to lubricate the joint, alleviate pain, and improve mobility. Orthopedic clinics and Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs) are specialized end-use settings where viscosupplementation is frequently administered. These centers are predominantly focused on musculoskeletal health, making them highly adept at providing targeted therapies like viscosupplementation. The convenience, efficiency, and typically lower costs associated with ASCs make them an attractive option for patients seeking outpatient care.

Regional Insights
