1. Executive Summary
Executive Summary
Iron is one of the most essential mineral found in the human body. About 70% of the iron in the body is present in the red blood cells, called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is required in the body to transport oxygen throughout the body via the blood. Deficiency of iron in the human body leads to severe health problems, which are associated with morbidity and mortality. To maintain the required level of iron in the body, iron supplements are given to the patients.
Iron supplements can be given in two forms: oral iron drugs and intravenous (IV) iron drugs. Oral iron drugs can be in the form of capsules, tablets or liquid drops. Intravenous iron drugs are given by injecting iron directly inside the body with a needle through a vein.
Intravenous iron drugs are favorably more preferred over oral iron drugs due to less side effects profile (oral iron drugs are not tolerable for many patients due to the poor gastrointestinal side effect); greater efficacy & better absorption (intravenous iron drugs are transported to the bone marrow through blood without need for absorption in the gut) and ensuring more efficient treatment (intravenous therapy allows larger dose of treatment over a short period of time).
Intravenous iron drugs have a long history with continuously evolving new generation intravenous iron drugs. The intravenous (IV) iron drugs market can be segmented on the basis of product, type and indication.
The global intravenous (IV) iron drugs market has increased at a significant CAGR during the years 2013-2017 and projections are made that the market would rise in the next four years i.e. 2018-2022 tremendously. The intravenous (IV) iron drugs market is expected to increase due to aging population, growing chronic diseases, escalating diabetic population, rising number of patients with chronic kidney disease, surge in the number of people with cancer, etc. Yet the market faces some challenges such as shift from Erythropoietin Stimulating Agents (ESAs) to HIF inhibitors, side effects associated with the use of intravenous iron drugs, etc."
