Orthopedic Viscosupplementation is fastest growing segment fueling the growth of Viscosupplementation Market

 Viscosupplementation refers to intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid (HA) or its derivatives into the knee joint intended to provide added lubrication and support to the joints. The injections are used to treat osteoarthritis of the knee which helps to decrease pain, increase mobility and provide protective cushioning to the joint.

The global Viscosupplementation Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 3,146.7 Mn or in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 8.2% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.


Market key trends:
One of the key trends in the viscosupplementation market is the development and launch of single-injection therapies. Unlike multi-injection therapies that require multiple injections over several weeks, single-injection viscosupplements are injected only once to provide sustained relief for about 6 months. This provides better patient compliance compared to multiple injections and also reduces the overall treatment cost. For instance, in 2020, Ferring Pharmaceuticals received FDA approval for its single-injection viscosupplement Qgel (beclomethasone dipropionate) for osteoarthritis pain in the knee.
Segment Analysis
The global viscosupplementation market is segmented on the basis of product, injection, application and end user. Based on product, the three-injection viscosupplementation segment holds the largest market share due to minimal invasiveness and long-term relief from osteoarthritis related pain. On the basis of injection, the three injections segment holds the maximum share as it offers viscosupplementation in knee joints for 3 to 6 months. By application, the knee osteoarthritis segment dominates as knee is the most commonly affected joint. Hospitals segments holds the largest share in end user segment due to availability of skilled professionals and advanced treatment facilities.
