Market Trends of Home Infusion Therapy Industry
Anti-infective Therapy Dominates the Home Infusion Therapy Market
- The anti-infective therapy segment is expected to dominate the global home infusion therapy market through the forecast period. Anti-infective therapy is one of the most prescribed home infusion therapies. However, there are few risks intrinsic to such therapy, which can be reduced by a team approach, coupled with careful patient selection criteria, a structured follow-up process, and an emphasis on patient education.
- The major factors for the growth of the infectious disease drugs market are the rising awareness activities by various government and non-profit organizations, the increasing prevalence of infectious diseases, and the rising funding and increasing research and development activities.
- For instance, according to the data published by the World Health Organization (WHO) in the Global Tuberculosis Report 2021, stated that the majority of tuberculosis cases were discovered in the WHO regions of South-East Asia (43%), Africa (25%), and the Western Pacific (18%). Similarly, according to the WHO data published in 2021, with 95% of all malaria infections occurring in Sub-Saharan Africa, this region is likely to continue to experience a heavy burden from the disease. Thus, the rise in the burden of several infectious diseases across developed and emerging markets is expected to drive the market studied.
- Thus, the increasing burden of infectious diseases in various countries and increasing research and development activities are likely to increase the demand for anti-infective therapy, thereby boosting the segment's growth.
North America Dominates the Market and the Region is Expected to Continue the Same during the Forecast Period
- North America is one of the major regions in the home infusion therapy market, owing to the presence of factors such as the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, treatment costs, technological advancements, and product launches, which are expected to drive regional growth. For instance, according to the estimates of the American Cancer Society updates from 2021, in the United States alone, there were around 1.8 million new cancer cases reported in 2020.
- Breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, bladder cancer, and skin cancer are the most prevalent malignancies in the United States. Furthermore, due to cheap costs and improved patient mobility, there is a growing migration from acute care to home care settings, which is anticipated to spur additional expansion. The demand for regional goods is also being boosted by improvements in the healthcare industry and the use of increasingly sophisticated medical items.
- On the other side, the market has growth prospects in the home healthcare segment owing to sufficient insurance coverage for home infusion. Several companies, such as Option Care Enterprises, CHI Health, etc., provide infusion therapy services in home healthcare settings, and the cost is also covered by insurance coverage.
- In May 2021, Smiths Medical and Ivenix, Inc. announced a partnership agreement to offer a comprehensive suite of infusion management solutions in the United States market. This partnership is expected to evolve infusion management to improve patient safety. Such partnerships are expected to bolster the growth of the market in this region.
- Thus, the abovementioned factors are expected to increase market growth.
