A new report by Millennium Research Group forecasts “moderate” growth in the global market for hyaluronic acid viscosupplementation to nearly $2.5 billion by 2017 and points to increases in patients with osteoarthritis and obesity as a factor of this growth.

According to a press release from the group, projected market trends will include more “premium-priced shorter treatments” of one- and three-injections and use of hyaluronic acid (HA) viscosupplementation for joints other than the knee.

Companies with competitive pricing, those that develop HA viscosupplementation specifically for areas other than the knee or companies that create single-injection products could see the most success in the market during the period, according to the report.

“Despite the diverse competitive landscape for these products, two companies have captured over half the global market,” Kristina Vidug, an analyst for Millennium Research Group, stated in a press release.
