Segments - Disposable IV Therapy Products Market by Product Type (IV Catheters, Infusion Sets, IV Cannulas, Stopcocks & Check Valves, Needleless Connectors, and Others), End-user (Hospitals, Clinics, and Home Care Settings), and Region (Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2023 – 2031
The global disposable IV therapy products market size was USD XX Bn in 2022 and is likely to reach USD XX Bn by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of XX% during 2023–2031. The market growth is attributed to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, obesity disorders, and the surging geriatric population across the globe.
Increasing needlestick injuries and injections are expected to favor the high adoption of IV equipment, which boosts the market. An intravenous infusion pump delivers fluids such as medications and nutrients into the patient’s body. These pumps can be used in clinical settings such as nursing homes, clinics, hospitals, and in-home care. Several companies in the market are developing innovative infusion devices by combining them with alarm devices, monitoring devices, and data exchange systems. This, as a result, boosts their adoption across healthcare establishments. For instance,
On November 21, 2022, Medtronic Plc, a healthcare technology firm, launched in the US, the first infusion set across the globe for insulin pumps that doubles wear time up to seven days. This set is tubing that provides insulin from the insulin pump to the patient’s body and usually needs a set of changes every two to three days.
Disposable intravenous (IV) therapy products are medical devices and supplies that are designed for single use and then discarded after each use. IV therapy involves administering medications, fluids, and blood products directly into a bloodstream of a patient through a vein. These products are commonly used in hospitals, clinics, and other medical settings to deliver required treatments for patients who cannot take oral medications. Some common examples of disposable IV therapy products include IV catheters, IV infusion sets, IV bags, IV tubing, IV syringes, and others.
The market report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic hampered the disposable IV therapy products market, owing to the lockdown imposed by governments across the globe. This led to a sudden halt in surgical procedures, which were postponed to accommodate the increasing patient load during the pandemic. However, the demand for intravenous equipment has grown substantially, owing to the increasing usage of intravenous therapies for treating COVID-19 patients.
During the pandemic, several manufacturers took steps toward developing innovative disposable IV products to meet the different needs of COVID-19 patients. In addition, the growing adoption of telemedicine and remote patient monitoring solutions resulted in the increasing usage of home infusion therapy. The COVID-19 pandemic augmented the demand for IV equipment, which in turn supported the growth of the disposable IV therapy products market.
Increasing number of chronic disease patients is expected to boost the market during the forecast period. For example, diabetes is the leading cause of lower-limb amputations, kidney failure, and new cases of lessened vision among adults. Moreover, the consumption of alcohol and cigarette smoking remains the leading cause of preventable diseases in the US. All this together is causing the prevalence of severe chronic diseases, which boosts the demand for disposable IV therapy products. For instance,
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 12 of every 100 US adults (18 years or older) were active smokers in 2021. According to this ratio, it was estimated that 28.3 million adults are smokers in the US and more than 16 million US citizens live with a smoking-related disease.
High cost of intravenous (IV) equipment is likely to limit its acceptability in healthcare establishments with limited budgets, which is expected to hamper the disposable IV therapy products market in the coming years. Profits gained by healthcare providers from IV therapies can be limited, owing to the high cost of IV equipment, which limits willingness of healthcare providers to expand services. In addition, increased regulatory scrutiny by various governments globally and rising litigation costs are also likely to restrain the market during the forecast period.
Increasing technological advancements in IV equipment are anticipated to create lucrative opportunities for the market players during the forecast period. Some of the recent technological advancements include needle-free ports, smart pumps, portable IV devices, wireless & remote monitoring, nanotechnology, and others. These advancements have the potential to improve the effectiveness, safety, and efficiency of IV therapy. These factors are likely to create lucrative opportunities for the market player in the coming years.
