The three injection segment is expected to remain the most preferred product type segment of the viscosupplementation market

The growth of this segment can be primarily attributed to the global growth of the osteoarthritis treatment market. Some of the factors, such as cost-effectiveness and rising patient awareness about the benefits of viscosupplementation procedures, are expected to propel the growth of the viscosupplementation market

The growth of the viscosupplementation market can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of osteoarthritis. According to the latest research by FMI, the global viscosupplementation market is expected to be valued at US$ 3,800 Mn by the end of 2028. The viscosupplementation market is expected to grow with a CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast period 2019-2029.

The expanding aging population is a major driving factor driving the viscosupplementation market. Age is an important risk factor for osteoarthritis, and epidemiological studies demonstrate a rise in the prevalence of osteoarthritis with growing age. According to CDC, the prevalence of osteoarthritis was found to be the highest in populations aged between 65 and 75 years. Viscosupplementation emerges as a prior and cost-effective treatment option to delay total knee replacement surgery, which is another major factor propelling the growth of the viscosupplementation market. Cost-analysis studies have shown that viscosupplementation delays the need to perform knee replacement by 2.6 years.

Reimbursement cutbacks are among the major factors that are expected to hamper the growth of the viscosupplementation market. American Association of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) revised the long-standing clinical practice guideline for hyaluronic acid injection in May 2013, after which AAOS cannot recommend hyaluronic acid injection for patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis. Due to the AAOS response, most of the reimbursement payers continue deny reimbursements for hyaluronic acid injections. Moreover, the failure of clinical studies and the unavailability of FDA-approved hyaluronic acid injections for joints other than the knees are expected to restrain the growth of the viscosupplementation market.
