Intravenous infusion pumps are used to administer medications, hormones, and nutritional fluids into the circulatory system through veins, in controlled amounts. Intravenous infusion pumps are in extensive use in clinical settings such as hospitals, nursing homes, and homes. The pump is operated by a trained operator by programming the rate and duration of fluid delivery using built-in software. Intravenous infusion pumps can deliver nutrients, hormones, antibiotics, chemotherapy drugs, and pain relievers.
The advent of COVID-19 resulted in burdening of healthcare infrastructure globally as the majority of elective healthcare treatments were postponed. However, the demand for intravenous infusion pumps such as insulin infusion pumps andvolumetric infusion pumps witnessed an increase. The majority of patients suffering from chronic diseases were treated remotely from home to prevent the risk of disease transmission and to unburden the healthcare facilities.
Infusion pumps offer various advantages over manual administration of medicated fluids like the ability to deliver fluids in very small volumes. Furthermore, it also offers the ability to deliver fluids at precise programmed rates or automated intervals. Therefore, these remain highly adopted by healthcare systems. However, product recalls and infusion pumps malfunctions such as software defects and user interface issues are the major growth restraining factors for the market
The key factors driving the growth of the market include increased incidences of chronic diseases, rapid escalation seen in the geriatric population, rising surge for ambulatory infusion pumps, and the burgeoning number of people undergoing surgical procedures. Intravenous infusion pumps are mainly used to administer critical fluids that include high-risk medication. Most of the infusion pumps are equipped with safety features and in-built alarms for operator alerts intended to activate in the event of a problem. Many conditions such as immune deficiencies, cancer, and congestive heart failure cannot be treated with oral medications and require infusion therapy.
While administering medication, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and varied essential micronutrients can also be added to the infusion for collateral nutrition, which proves yet another benefit of intravenous infusion pumps. Smart pumps are intravenous pumps that are technologically advanced features such as automation, drug libraries, and various operator and patient safety features for accurate, precise, and controlled delivery. Such delivery of fluids into the patient’s body is especially beneficial in the treatment of chemotherapy. Hence, smart pumps continue to gain tremendous traction in the medical sector.
On the basis of disease indication, chemotherapy is projected to be the fastest-growing segment over the forecast period. According to the WHO, 19.3 million new cases of cancer and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths were reported globally in 2020. However, effective cancer treatments are on the rise which has led to an increase in the number of cancer survivors.
Moreover, a report by WHO states that the percentage of the world’s population over 60 years will double from 12% to 22% between 2015- 2050 indicating a rise in the geriatric population. This combined with the high risk of chronic and long-term health conditions, promises a market for infusion pumps that will play an important role in infusion therapies for chronically ill patients.
The demand for intravenous infusion pumps increased considerably after the onset of Covid-19, Patient monitoring devices manufacturer, Smiths Medical stated that demand for items such as ventilators, airway management products, patient monitors, and infusion pumps increased substantially. The company’s revenue from infusion systems increased by 4% in 2020, driven by COVID-19-related demand. ICU Medical also reported that the demand for its infusion systems increased due to high demand from existing customers and government stockpile orders.
The demand for intravenous pumps in the post-pandemic era is also expected to witness significant growth as the prevalence of diseases like diabetes, cancer, and heart ailments are expected to rise due to rapid lifestyle changes. These factors will boost the demand for intravenous infusion pumps throughout the forecast period.
