Segmentation
Short Description
Global Viscosupplementation Market, By Source (animal origin and non-animal origin), Age Group (geriatric and adults), Injection (single injection, three injections, and five injections), Molecular Weight (intermediate molecular weight, low molecular weight, and high molecular weight), End User (hospital, orthopedic clinics, ambulatory care centers, and others), Distribution Channel (direct tender and retail sales), Countries (U.S., Canada, Mexico, Panama, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic, Germany, France, U.K., Italy, Spain, Russia, Turkey, Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland, Poland, Austria, Hungary, Lithuania, Norway, Ireland, and the rest of Europe, China, Japan, India, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan, Indonesia, Philippines, and rest of Asia-Pacific, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, Israel, South Africa, Kuwait, and rest of the Middle East and Africa, Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Uruguay, Venezuela, Bolivia, Paraguay, Trinidad and Tobago, Curaao, and the rest of South America) Industry Trends and Forecast to 2029.
Market Definition:
The development of the therapeutic paradigm viscosupplementation for long-lasting pain relief in human and animal joints with osteoarthritis or traumatic arthritis was based on the finding that in arthritic conditions, the average molecular weight and concentration of hyaluronan decreased. Consequently, the elastoviscous properties of the synovial fluid are substantially reduced. Viscosupplementation is a therapeutic process in which the pathological synovial fluid or effusion is removed from the joint by arthrocentesis and is replaced with a highly purified hyaluronan solution which has a 16- to 30-times greater concentration than the pathological joint fluid, and a 2- to 5-times greater concentration than that of the hyaluronan in the healthy synovial fluid. In some preparations of hyaluronan used today for therapeutic purposes, the rheological properties (viscosity and elasticity) are low. Therefore the elastoviscosity of the fluid is similar to that of fluid removed from an arthritic joint. Another preparation available to patients worldwide is composed of hyaluronan derivatives (hylans) with substantially greater elastoviscosity than hyaluronan solutions. It has comparable rheological properties to the fluid found in young, healthy individuals. The clinical benefit of viscosupplementation is long-lasting pain relief in arthritic joints.
Furthermore, the increasing demand for non-surgical treatments for osteoarthritis, the prevalence of lifestyle-induced disorders, and advancements in the development of hyaluronic acid-based therapies are some of the factors expected to drive the market.
Market Segmentation:
Global viscosupplementation market is categorized into six notable segments: source, age group, molecular weight, injection, end user, and distribution channel.
On the basis of source, the global viscosupplementation market is segmented into the animal origin and non-animal origin. Animal origin is further segmented into by type, hyaluronans, by brands, hylan G-F 20, by brand, Synvisc, and Synvisc one. Hyaluronans, by brands, are further segmented into hyalgan. Non-animal origin is segmented into SULPLASYN, GEL ONE, ORTHOVISC, MONOVISC, OSTEONIL, VISCOSEAL, EUFLEXXA, DUROLANE, SUPARTZ, GELSYN-3, and CINGEAL. In 2022, the non-animal origin segment is expected to dominate the global viscosupplementation market due to the increased density of hyaluronic acid (HA). Also, it displays high resistance to intraarticular degradation
On the basis of age group, the global viscosupplementation market is segmented into geriatric and adults. In 2022, the geriatric segment is expected to dominate the global viscosupplementation market due to an increase in the population
On the basis of injection, the global viscosupplementation market is segmented into single injection, three injections, and five injections. In 2022, the single injection segment is expected to dominate the global viscosupplementation market due to high responsiveness levels to single-injection treatment and a more prominent inclination for the administration of osteoarthritis
On the basis of molecular weight, the global viscosupplementation market is segmented into intermediate molecular weight, low molecular weight, and high molecular weight. In 2022, the intermediate molecular weight segment is expected to dominate the global viscosupplementation market due to the molecular weight of hyaluronic acid having a major influence on its efficacy and safety for viscosupplementation in hip osteoarthritis
On the basis of end-user, the global viscosupplementation market is segmented into hospitals, orthopedic clinics, ambulatory care centers, and others. In 2022, the hospital segment is expected to dominate the global viscosupplementation market due to rising preferences among customers
On the basis of distribution channel, the global viscosupplementation market is segmented into direct tender and retail sales. In 2022, the direct tender segment is expected to dominate the global viscosupplementation market as it is most commonly used by research labs, pharmaceutical shops, and hospitals
