Global Viscosupplementation Market to Reach US$ 8.7 Billion by 2032, Stimulated by Increasing Prevalence of Osteoporosis and Osteoarthritis

According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Viscosupplementation Market by Type (Single Injection, Three Injection, Five Injection), Age Group (Adults, Geriatrics), Distribution Channel (Hospital Pharmacies, Retail Pharmacies, Online Pharmacies), Application (Knee Osteoarthritis, Hip Osteoarthritis, Hand Osteoarthritis, and Others), End Use (Hospitals, Orthopedic Clinics, and Others), and Region 2024-2032,” the global viscosupplementation market size reached US$ 4.5 Billion in 2023. Viscosupplementation is a medical procedure commonly used to provide relief to individuals suffering from osteoarthritis. It involves the injection of a gel-like substance directly into the affected joint. The injected fluid acts as a lubricant, reducing friction between the bones and allowing for smooth movement. The aim of viscosupplementation is to supplement the diminished levels of hyaluronic acid in the affected joint, thereby improving joint mobility, reducing pain, and potentially delaying the need for more invasive treatments, such as joint replacement surgery. Additionally, it restores the rheological properties of the synovial fluids, resulting in mechanical, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and chondroprotective benefits. As a result, it is widely used for the treatment of osteoarthritis in the hip, knee, and hand.

Global Viscosupplementation Market Trends:

The global market is majorly driven by the increasing prevalence of osteoarthritis among the masses. Along with this, with the growing elderly population, there is a greater need for treatments that can alleviate joint pain and improve mobility, thus propelling the demand for viscosupplementation. Moreover, the increased awareness about treatment options and patient education regarding the benefits of viscosupplementation is significantly supporting the market. Besides, changing lifestyles, including sedentary habits and participation in sports activities, are also strengthening the market as these injuries lead to the development of osteoarthritis, further impelling the demand for viscosupplementation as a treatment option. Apart from this, the emergence of ambulatory surgical centers (ACS) that offer intensive treatment to resolve surgical and non-surgical problems in various body parts, such as joints, ligaments, muscles, spine, and nerves, is impacting the market favorably. Furthermore, several major companies are heavily investing in developing new formulations with enhanced properties, longer-lasting effects, and improved patient outcomes, thus providing a boost to the market. Additionally, ongoing technological advancements in delivery systems, such as pre-filled syringes and autoinjectors, are acting as another growth-inducing factor. Looking forward, the market value is projected to reach US$ 8.7 Billion by 2032, expanding at a CAGR of 7.42% during 2024-2032.
