Europe Viscosupplementation Market Expected to Expand at a Steady 2023-2028

 


Viscosupplementation is a procedure in which hyaluronic acid (HA) is injected into the knee joint for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. HA is a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan and an integral component of synovial fluid and cartilage matrix present in the joints.

Europe viscosupplementation market is estimated to account for US$ 241.8 Mn in terms of value and is expected to reach US$ 343.6 Mn by the end of 2027.

Europe Viscosupplementation Market: Drivers

Increasing prevalence of OA is expected to propel growth of the Europe viscosupplementation market over the forecast period. For instance, according to the study, ‘Prevalence and development of hip and knee osteoarthritis according to American College of Rheumatology criteria in the CHECK cohort’, published in January 2019, in BMC Arthritis Research & Therapy, 63% of the participants in the Netherlands suffered from hip OA and 92% of participants with knee complaints were classified as having knee OA.

Moreover, increasing geriatric population is also expected to aid in growth of the market. For instance, according to Office of National Statistics, U.K. 2018, there are nearly 12 million people aged 65 and above in the U.K. of which 5.4 million people are aged over 75, 1.6 million are aged over 85, over 500,000 people are over 90, and 14,430 are centenarians.

Three injection cycle held dominant position in Europe viscosupplementation market in 2019, accounting for 59.5% share in terms of value, followed by five injection cycle, and single injection cycle, respectively

Europe Viscosupplementation Market: Opportunities 

R&D related to viscosupplements is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for players in Europe viscosupplementation market. For instance, in May 2018, researchers from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and Berlin Institute of Health, Germany, reported that HA can influence the cartilage metabolism via upregulation of Metalloproteinase inhibitor 3 in OA-like condition.

In Europe, there has been a rise in the number of osteoarthritis patients seeking alternate options to knee replacement in view of avoiding the side effects associated with NSAID and corticosteroids injections. This factor has changed the overall scenario in the pharmaceuticals industry, propelling the inclination of the players in the market towards the viscosupplementation-based therapy.

Treprostinil Drugs Market - High Prevalence of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension and R&D of New Formulations of Treprostinil to Augment Growth of market

  Treprostinil is an antihypertensive agent used to treat patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. It can also be used in the treatment of Degos disease, an extremely rare disorder in which small and medium sized arteries become blocked (occlusive arteriopathy), restricting the flow of blood to affected areas. Market Dynamics High prevalence of pulmonary arterial hypertension is expected to propel growth of the treprostinil drugs market . For instance, according to the study, ‘High Geographic Prevalence of Pulmonary Artery Hypertension: Associations with Ethnicity, Drug Use, and Altitude’, published in February 2020, in the journal Pulmonary Circulation, the overall pulmonary arterial hypertension incidence was 14 cases per million and the annual period prevalence of pulmonary arterial hypertension was 93 cases per million. Decline in new prescriptions for treprostinil-based products is expected to hinder growth of the treprostinil drugs market. For instance, United The...
