Viscosupplementation is a treatment that helps reduce the joint pain and improves the functional
condition of the osteoarthritic joint. It involves the injection of a thick fluid called hyaluronate into the
knee. Hyaluronic acid is found in the viscous synovial fluid that lubricates the cartilage surfaces and
protects the joints from shock. This acid is an elastic substance that is naturally secreted by
mesothelial cells. Osteoarthritis—the most common type of arthritis—is characterized by loss of
function and degeneration of cartilage and tissues that cover the ends of the bones in a joint. Rising
global prevalence of osteoarthritis leads to high demand for osteoarthritis therapeutic products,
including viscosupplementation. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over 30
million people in the U.S. suffered from osteoarthritis and around 10% people over 55 years suffered
from knee pain in 2015.

According to National Center for Biotechnology Information, 10% men and 13% women of aged 60
years and older are suffering from osteoarthritis in the U.S. The prevalence of osteoarthritis is high in
females as compared to men, due to menopause and hormonal imbalance. Factors that may lead to
osteoarthritis are knee injury, overweight, obesity, muscle weakness, repetitive unnatural strain on
joints, loss of bone density, and joint laxity, among others. Thus, growing prevalence of this disease is
the major factor contributing towards growth of the overall viscosupplementation market.
