The global empty IV bags market size is expected to reach USD 8.76 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 8.7% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to witness growth due to the increasing government initiatives, rising Natality rate, and rising geriatric population.
The growing risk of malnutrition is another major driver for the market's growth. According to WHO, millions of people are suffering from different forms of malnutrition across the world. According to the study by the Global Coalition on Aging (GCOA) 2020, on average, 31.0% of patients admitted to hospitals are undernourished, and the prevalence is higher among seniors, affecting up to 52.7% of older people hospitalized with COVID-19. Thus, an aging population is significantly increasing the prevalence of various health issues, including nutritional problems and chronic non-communicable diseases. This is anticipated to support the industry growth in the coming years.
Key players are undertaking various strategic initiatives to develop technologically advanced products. Key players are adopting strategies such as mergers & acquisitions, purchasing agreements, and partnerships to launch new product lines with advanced technology. For instance, in January 2022, the acquisition of Smiths Medical's syringe and vascular access, ambulatory infusion devices, and vital care products to the ICU Medical portfolio establishes a prominent infusion therapy company with a stronger global presence. ICU Medical completed the acquisition of Smiths Medical from Smiths Group plc.
Furthermore, in June 2022, Gufic Biosciences worked in partnership with a French company to produce its novel technology locally in India. Gufic Biosciences first introduced two-chamber IV bags composed of polypropylene (DEHP-free) with peelable aluminum foil that could store unstable medications that required reconstitution right before giving them to a patient which is expected to drive the growth of the empty IV bags industry in near future.
