These injectable forms of iron allow for direct delivery of the iron into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system.
The main types of iron deficiency injectables are iron dextran, iron sucrose and ferric carboxymaltose. Iron dextran is a complex of iron and a carbohydrate called dextran. The various types of branded or generics are branded, generics that are used in various applications such as chronic kidney disease, inflammatory bowel disease, cancer and others and also by various end users such as hospitals, homecare, specialty clinics and others.

Major trends in the forecast period include advances in iron formulations, digital health solutions, advancements in iron deficiency injectable therapy, adoption of iron-based drugs.
The iron deficiency injectables market is anticipated to experience growth due to the increasing prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is a commonly occurring hormonal disorder that predominantly affects individuals with ovaries, primarily women in their reproductive years. PCOS often leads to iron overload, resulting in excessive menstrual bleeding and subsequent anemia in affected patients. Injectable iron deficiency medications offer an effective solution to address this condition. For example, as of June 2023, the World Health Organization, a specialized health agency based in the United States, estimates that PCOS affects approximately 8-13% of reproductive-aged women globally, with 70% of cases remaining undiagnosed. Hence, the rising prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) serves as a driving force behind the growth of the iron deficiency injectables market.
The substantial prevalence of malnutrition is a key driver behind the expansion of the iron deficiency injectable market. Malnutrition signifies a health condition marked by an imbalance between the intake of essential nutrients and the nutritional requirements of the body. Iron deficiency injectables play a crucial role in addressing malnutrition by swiftly replenishing iron stores and delivering a concentrated dose of iron that is readily absorbed into the bloodstream, enabling the rapid correction of the deficiency. For example, in March 2023, the California Department of Public Health reported an increase in malnutrition-related deaths to 1,406 in 2022, marking a notable 22.36% surge compared to the 1,149 deaths recorded in 2021. As a result, the heightened prevalence of malnutrition is expected to drive the future growth of the iron deficiency injectable market.
