Osteoarthritis (OA) constitutes a growing public health burden, and is the most common cause of musculoskeletal disability around the world. Resulting from a complex interaction of biomechanical, biochemical, and genetic factors, OA develops slowly and is characterized by the degradation of the affected joint’s cartilage and bone hypertrophy. The disability is accompanied by joint pain, stiffness, and loss of range of motion. Initially treated with various therapies including physical therapy and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), advanced cases of OA have traditionally been treated surgically. However, intra-articular viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid (HA), a high-molecular-weight glycosaminoglycan, has become an increasingly accepted therapeutic alternative to knee replacement surgery in the symptomatic management of OA over the past decade.
Key drivers of the viscosupplementation market in the forecast period are –
– The rising prevalence of osteoarthritis (OA) due to increasing aging and obese populations.
– The evolving multimodal treatment paradigm for OA.
– Patients seeking to delay knee replacement surgery in an effort to maintain an active lifestyle.
Market for viscosupplementation is highly fragmented, with key players varying by region and country. Unlike most orthopedic device markets, the market for viscosupplementation is largely populated by pharmaceutical companies. Although many companies maintain a direct presence in the markets they sell to, some have coordinated marketing and distribution partnerships with major orthopedic players in an effort to leverage geographical experience and existing relationships with orthopedic surgeons.
