Abstract

Growing Health Needs of Elderly Spur Demand for New Biomaterial Therapies

As the number of elderly people in the United States increases, demand for biomaterials used in the treatment of osteoarthritis, cataracts, and facial wrinkling will rise significantly. For those applications, physicians will steadily turn to products based on hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural substance that gives structure to tissue, lubricates movable parts, and absorbs shock in joints. Because the introduction of HA stimulates cells to produce new, healthy HA on their own, the materials will quickly become the preferred biomaterial for a variety of applications.

This Frost & Sullivan study analyzes key application markets for HA-based biomaterials, including viscoelastics for cataract surgery, viscosupplementation treatment for osteoarthritis, facial aesthetic implants, and vesicoureteral reflux implants. With its assessment of drivers and restraints, and presentation of expert revenue forecasts, this study gives users a comprehensive view of a fast-growing field.

Technological Advantages Over Collagen Increase HA Revenues

"Although collagen-based products have been on the market for a long time, HA-based products are expected to displace them in many applications," write the study’s authors. For example, treatments using HA-based products tend to last longer, minimizing the number of treatments. Moreover, these products are less likely to cause allergic reactions or pass along certain diseases. Nevertheless, many patients and healthcare providers remain unaware about the advantages of HA products over collagen. "To expand the user base for HA products, market participants will have to focus on spreading awareness of their benefits," write the authors. This study, which surveys the competitive landscape and offers strategic recommendations, will help your company create an effective business plan and capitalize on the industry’s tremendous potential.

Inadequate Reimbursement Could Slow Revenue Growth

"Companies are having trouble getting quick, adequate reimbursement," write the study’s authors. "In many instances, doctors will limit their use of HA-based products as a direct result of reimbursement difficulties." Continuing repayment issues will force participants to dedicate resources to tracking and following up healthcare insurance claims. "Some firms have already created departments for this purpose and have seen improvements in speeding the reimbursement process." By identifying potential obstacles, this study will enable you to overcome hurdles and overtake the competition.
