Viscosupplementation is a minimally invasive technique for the people suffering from osteoarthritis. Viscosupplementation is a procedure that includes injection of hyaluronic acid into the knee joint of an individual. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring lubricating substance that is found in high concentration in fluids in the joints and eyes. This fluid play a vital role in reducing pain and swelling in arthritic joints such as knee.
Growing geriatric population susceptible to osteoarthritis will boost the market growth during the forecast period. According to a recently published data by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), osteoarthritis affects over 32.5 million adults in the U.S. on an annual basis. Such large patient pool will require medical treatment to reduce the pain, stiffness and swelling caused by osteoarthritis and will ultimately generate the market expansion in the coming years.
Increasing demand for minimally invasive viscosupplementation procedures for the treatment of osteoarthritis will enhance the industry growth. The minimally invasive treatment replaces synovial fluid by intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid. As the cost of minimally invasive procedures is significantly less than the conventional procedures, the market will witness considerable growth during the forecast timeframe.
The single injection regimen provides greater physician and patient convenience and hence, is highly preferred over other treatments for viscosupplementation. Osteoarthritis is not only limited to pain and reduced quality of life for patients but also generates high and extra hospital costs. Owing to the rapidly increasing patients suffering from osteoarthritis, the market players will focus on providing single injection viscosupplementation treatments. Moreover, viscosupplementation is a cost-effective treatment option to delay total knee replacement surgery. Hence, low-income countries will majorly focus on viscosupplementation thereby, spurring the market demand. Additionally, launch of new products for the treatment of osteoarthritis will contribute to the industry expansion in the coming years.

The 3 injections treatment reduces the pain of an individual within few weeks and hence, will ultimately enhance the product demand.
The non-avian origin segment accounted for USD 2.1 billion in 2019. The viscosupplements with non-avian origin are the bio-fermentation products produced using bacteria. Due to the high safety, effectiveness and lower allergenic potential, large number of patients are selecting the viscosupplementation procedures with non-avian source of origin. In addition, the hyaluronic acid derived from non-avian origin reduces the risks of adverse reactions such as arthralgia, injection-site erythema, swelling, joint warmth and joint effusion.
