Summary of the Report

Global viscosupplementation market was valued at USD 3.76 Billion in 2020. It is projected to grow at a compound annual rate (CAGR of 9.37%) between 2021 and 2028. Market growth is expected to be driven by the increasing demand for nonsurgical osteoarthritis treatments, the rise in lifestyle-induced diseases, and the advancements in hyaluronic-based therapies. The market's viscosupplements have been clinically proven to be most effective in treating knee osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease that causes chronic pain and disability, is the most common cause of chronic disability. The condition usually develops after age 30. It may eventually progress into a disability after 10 year.

According to the WHO, the global 65-year-old population is expected to rise from 7% in 2000, to 16% by 2050. This will cause an increase in obesity and osteoarthritis. The forecast period will see a significant increase in product demand due to the growing popularity of alternative treatments for joint pain management and the increasing global population.

Globally, the reimbursement system is expected to improve making osteoarthritis treatment affordable. The FDA has approved products such as Synvisc and Supartz Hyalgan as medical devices of Class III to treat OA knee pain. They are also reimbursed by Medicaid and Medicare. France has a clearly defined reimbursement policy for viscosupplements. Social Security reimburses 12 of the 13 products that are available in France for treatment of knee osteoarthritis. The key players will benefit from favorable reimbursement policies that cater to the elderly population.

Impact of COVID-19 on the viscosupplementation markets: 3.0% decrease from 2019 to 2020

Pandemic Impact

Outlook after COVID

Market was adversely affected by senior citizens who are the largest consumers of viscosupplementation products. This demographic was asked to stay at home in order to lower the risk of infection.

COVID-19 restrictions are unlikely to affect surgery volumes. By the end of June 2020, the U.S., China and Germany had begun to recover their surgery volumes.

The mass termination of elective surgery in hospitals led to a drop in sales of viscosupplementation product sales, resulting in significant losses for the manufacturers. Anika Therapeutics' total revenue fell by 13% during the second quarter 2020.

Viscosupplementation products will continue to grow as more osteoarthritis surgeries are performed.

Recent advancements in R&D of product pipeline provide additional opportunities for the expansion of the market for viscosupplementation. Bone Therapeutics S.A., for example, completed clinical tests in April 2018 for its intra-articular injection JTA-004 for knee OA. Market is also seeing new products that deliver better results. Anika Therapeutics, Inc., for instance, presented its Hyalofast, a hyaluronic-based scaffold to repair cartilages, at the International Cartilage Regeneration and Joint Preservation Society in June 2019.

Product Insights

The market can be divided by product into three types: single injection, three injections and five injections. With a revenue share exceeding 45%, single-injection was the most dominant product segment in 2020. Although the five- and three-injection hyaluronic acids viscosupplements are well-established, the single-injection products have just recently become popular. The market has been dominated by multiple three-injection hyaluronic acid viscosupplements for over 20 years. They have a large share of global sales. To avoid total knee replacement surgery, medical professionals prefer three injections.

The segment's growth is likely to be influenced by an increasing number of FDA approvals of three-injection viscosupplements. TriVisc was launched by OrthogenRx in the U.S. in January 2018. The shorter treatment regimen, lower hospital visits and associated pain will all contribute to the increased demand for single-injection products. MONOVISC by Anika Therapeutics was approved by the FDA in early 2014.

End-use Insights

The market can be divided into two segments based on end-use: hospitals and orthopedic clinics/ Ambulatory Surgical Centres (ASCs). ASCs/Orthodic Clinics held the largest market share at 61% in 2020. This segment is expected to see the fastest CAGR due to high demand for outpatient surgery. ASCs are outpatient surgical centers that offer same-day care. They also provide preventive (surgical) or diagnostic procedures.

ASCs are able to perform same-day surgery for ACL, hip, knee and shoulder replacements. These procedures are simpler and do not require hospitalization. Orthopedic clinics focus on the treatment of the musculoskeletal and musculoskeletal systems. This includes treating surgical and nonsurgical issues involving joints, bones and ligaments, muscles and spines, as well as nerves. This segment is expected to grow due to an increase in osteoarthritis in the elderly.

Viscosupplementation can be performed in an outpatient setting at hospitals. The patient will feel better within a few hours. A hospital will usually recommend that a surgeon or an orthopedist perform any viscosupplementation procedure. Patients prefer hospitals, especially in developing countries that lack orthopedic clinics. Patients are required to attend a hospital on a particular day in these countries where the orthopedic doctor is often a visiting faculty. Viscosupplementation is an option offered by most multispecialty hospitals around the world. This does not require additional investment.

Regional Insights

Asia Pacific had the highest revenue share at more than 45% in 2020. This is due to the large geriatric population that is more vulnerable to diseases such as osteoarthritis. Europe will see the highest CAGR over the forecast period, due to factors such as the increasing geriatric population, and increased investment by market players.

Every year, more than 2.5 million French and British women are affected by osteoporosis. The Caisse Primaire d’Assurance Maladie will cover 70% of the cost of scanning, according to the Haute Autorite de Sante. Haute Autorite de Sante, a health care body, has also recommended BONVIVA (a medicine that is prescribed in the U.K to increase bone strength). The Caisse Primaire d'Assurance Maladie will reimburse 65%.

The market is driven by a growing preference for quick treatment and the increasing prevalence of target diseases such as osteoarthritis. The most profitable use of Hyaluronic Acid was for osteoarthritis management. A single-injection cycle is expected to show the most consistent growth, because it provides convenience over its three- or five-injection counterparts.

Market Share Insights & Key Companies

To increase their market share, key players are launching new products or merging & acquiring other companies. Bioventus, for example, approved FDA approval in 2017 of DUROLANE. This single-injection HA product is used to treat knee osteoarthritis pain. After being marketed, the product was sold in over 25 countries.
