U.S. Viscosupplementation Market size in 2023 was valued at USD 1.1 billion and is set to register growth at 7.6% CAGR from 2024 and 2032. Viscosupplementation offers a minimally invasive treatment option for managing the symptoms of osteoarthritis, such as pain and stiffness, thereby driving its adoption. One of the primary drivers is the rising prevalence of osteoarthritis, particularly in the aging population. As people age, the wear and tear on their joints increase, leading to a higher incidence of osteoarthritis.
Additionally, the growing preference for non-surgical treatments and the increasing demand for pain management solutions contribute to the market's growth. Viscosupplements are seen as a viable alternative to surgery, providing relief to patients without the risks associated with invasive procedures. Moreover, the advancements in viscosupplementation technology, such as the development of more effective formulations and delivery methods, have further expanded the market's potential.

Viscosupplementation is widely used for the treatment of osteoarthritis, especially in the knee joint. It involves injecting a gel-like substance called hyaluronic acid into the joint to provide lubrication and cushioning. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in the synovial fluid that surrounds joints, acting as a lubricant and shock absorber. In osteoarthritis, the synovial fluid becomes thinner and less effective, leading to increased friction and pain in the joint. By injecting hyaluronic acid directly into the joint, viscosupplementation aims to restore the viscosity and elasticity of the synovial fluid, reducing pain and improving joint function.
