Infusion Pump Market Dynamics
Driver: Growing number of surgical procedures performed
Over the years, there has been a significant rise in the number of surgical procedures performed across the globe. This can be attributed to the rising geriatric population and the growing prevalence of obesity and other lifestyle diseases. Obesity is one of the key causes of ardiovascular and orthopedic diseases.The risk of coronary heart disease, joint and tissue damage, cancer (of the breast, colon, rostate,endometrium, kidney, and gallbladder), ischemic stroke, and type 2 diabetes mellitus also increases with obesity. Infusion pumps play a critical role in the continuous and controlled medication administration during and after different types of surgeries.
Chemotherapy, gastroenterology, analgesia/pain management, and diabetes are the key application areas of infusion pumps. Infusion pumps are also widely used for the local administration of narcotic analgesics and anesthetics following bariatric surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, and laparoscopic cholecystectomy. With an increase in the number of surgeries performed, the demand for infusion therapy is expected to increase.
Restraint: Stringent regulatory requirements for new products
Infusion pumps are designed to deliver liquid medication and other solutions to a patient’s body and are subject to rigorous standards and requirements to protect the health and safety of patients. The infusion pumps market is regulated by various regulatory authorities such as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the approval of new products. In European countries, the CE mark certification is necessary to legally market and sell infusion pumps. Infusion pumps (non-implantable) are classified as Class II b devices, and implantable infusion pumps are Active Implantable Medical Devices (AIMD). There are almost 300 UK-specific standards for medical devices. The current process for developing new infusion pumps across several geographies is time-consuming and expensive. This is likely to hamper the growth of the infusion pump market during the forecast period.
Opportunity: Growing adoption of specialty infusion systems
The adoption of several specialty infusion pumps is on the rise globally. Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pumps, enteral pumps, insulin pumps, and implantable infusion pumps are the different types of specialty infusion pumps available in the market. PCA pumps induce anesthesia in a controlled manner and reduce the complications associated with anesthetics. These pumps are also widely used for pain management during labor pain and chronic diseases. Enteral infusion pumps are imperative medical tools for patients who face difficulties caused by indigestion due to recent surgeries or functional inabilities of various digestive organs. The increasing incidence of preterm births, the shift from parenteral to enteral nutrition, and the rising prevalence of chronic diseases have increased the adoption of enteral infusion pumps.
Challenge: Increasing incidence of medication errors and lack of wireless connectivity in most hospitals
Medication errors are the most significant causes of medical injuries, representing 19.4% of all adverse events. Intravenous (IV) infusions have been identified as frequent contributors to medication errors. A multihospital study published in BMJ Quality & Safety in 2016 found that 60% of IV infusions had at least one error associated with their administration. General infusion pumps are designed to improve the accuracy and continuity of IV infusions by allowing nurses to program an hourly rate and volume. However, studies highlight that these devices are involved in 35% to 60% of the estimated 770,000 adverse drug events (ADEs) that occur each year. Most ADEs associated with IV infusion devices occur because of nurses manually inputting incorrect settings into the pump. The most common infusion errors include unit errors, multiple of ten errors, miscalculations, and push-button mistakes. Fatal errors occur due to decimal entry errors while programming infusion pumps (for instance, programming morphine at 90 ml/hr instead of 9,0 ml/hr, causing a tenfold overdose.
Volumetric infusion pumps held the largest market share of 17.8% in 2021. The high share of these pumps was due to them being capable of delivering continuous and very specific amounts of fluids at very slow to very fast rates. Based on product, the intravenous infusion pump market is segmented into volumetric infusion pumps, syringe infusion pumps, insulin infusion pumps, enteral infusion pumps, ambulatory infusion pumps, patient-controlled analgesia infusion pumps, and implantable infusion pumps.
The ambulatory infusion pumps, which are used to deliver liquid nutrients and medications to a patient in both emergency situations and for chronic conditions, contributed to a significant market share in 2021, as they are widely favored for the delivery of nutrients and medications.
The availability of other pumps like patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pumps, insulin pumps, and smart pumps will contribute to the supplementary growth of this segment. The rising demand for enteral and syringe pumps is contributing to the burgeoning preference for the Intravenous Infusion pump which will also lead to segment growth.
Lately, smart pumps with controlled IV medication and error-prevention software are widely used as these pumps are equipped with advanced features like drug libraries, which help in storing the amount of the medicated fluid given to the patient, and its barcode technology, which helps in the verification of a patient’s identity and also helps prevent drug administration errors.
