Anika Therapeutics, Inc.

Anika Therapeutics, Inc. develops hyaluronic acid-based orthopedic products focused on osteoarthritis pain management and regenerative solutions. The company was founded in 1992 and has built its business around proprietary HA technology used in injection therapies and implantable/regenerative orthopedic applications. In 2024-2025, Anika shifted its strategy to concentrate on its core OA Pain Management and Regenerative Solutions portfolios, including the divestiture of non-core businesses. Its commercial model combines direct selling in the U.S. for selected regenerative products with OEM and distributor partnerships, most notably with J&J MedTech for key OA products. The company serves clinicians, hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and distribution partners across the U.S. and international markets.
