The global intravenous iron drugs market size is expected to reach USD 5.62 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 9.2% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Industry rivalry is expected to remain at a higher level over the forecast period. The market is dominated by global players accounting for most of the revenue share. Moreover, growing opportunities attract new players, which further augments the competitive rivalry. The market is fragmented and major players are involved in adopting extensive growth strategies such as entering strategic alliances, acquisitions, and new drug launches to capture a larger share.
The high disease burden of infectious diseases, coupled with poor nutrition, is one of the major causes of anemia among children in this region. The novel coronavirus pandemic has also increased anemia in severely affected patients, causing hypoxia in some cases. This has further increased the demand for intravenous iron drugs for the treatment of anemia across the globe.
The increase in the prevalence of anemia can also be attributed to various gynecological and gastrointestinal disorders, facilitating an increasing uptake of IV treatment globally. For instance, the overall prevalence of anemia is 29.6% in nonpregnant women and 36.5% in pregnant women of the same age group. With growing healthcare budgets and increasing investment, the market is anticipated to grow significantly during the forecast period.
Drawbacks of oral iron drugs such as digestive problems such as stomach aches, constipation, loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting are reasons for patients to prefer intravenous drugs. The use of intravenous iron drugs has been shown to bring about increased iron adoption by the body, facilitating Erythropoiesis-stimulating Agents (ESAs) to function in an enhanced manner to improve the anemic condition. Other advantages are the preservation of heart health and the ability to be used by dialysis patients, especially those undergoing hemodialysis.
