The iron deficiency anemia therapy market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.92 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for faster anemia correction, rising incidence of chronic diseases causing anemia, expansion of specialty anemia clinics, growing focus on maternal and pediatric anemia care, advancements in iron formulation technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of intravenous iron therapies, rising demand for targeted anemia treatments, growing focus on patient-specific therapy regimens, expansion of oral and parenteral combination therapies, enhanced emphasis on treatment efficacy and safety.
The growing number of chronic disease cases is expected to drive the expansion of the iron deficiency anemia therapy market in the coming years. Chronic diseases are long-term medical conditions that typically persist for a year or more. The rise in these conditions is largely linked to unhealthy lifestyle patterns, including poor dietary habits, physical inactivity, and smoking, which contribute to disorders such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, leading to prolonged health complications. Chronic illnesses can increase the need for iron deficiency anemia therapy by impairing the body’s ability to absorb iron effectively, elevating the risk of iron deficiency and increasing reliance on supplementation or therapeutic interventions to restore adequate iron levels. For example, in June 2024, according to the National Health Service, a UK-based government department, 3,615,330 individuals registered with a general practitioner were diagnosed with non-diabetic hyperglycemia, or pre-diabetes, in 2023, reflecting an 18% increase from 3,065,825 cases in 2022. Therefore, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases is contributing to the growth of the iron deficiency anemia therapy market.
Leading companies operating in the iron deficiency anemia therapy market are concentrating on advancements in treatment approaches, such as injectable formulations, to improve therapeutic effectiveness and patient access. Injectable formulations refer to newly developed or modified drug versions administered through injection. For instance, in May 2023, Emcure Pharmaceuticals Ltd., an India-based pharmaceutical company, launched Orofer FCM 750, a ferric carboxymaltose formulation designed for the treatment of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia. This product offers improved patient compliance due to reduced dosing frequency compared with oral iron supplements and is intended for individuals who are unable to tolerate oral therapy. Orofer FCM 750 is a 750 mg/15 ml injectable ferric carboxymaltose approved by India’s DCGI for treating iron deficiency anemia in patients unresponsive to oral iron, particularly pregnant women with hemoglobin levels below 10 g/dl and body weight between 35 and 70 kg. It enables a short 15-minute infusion when diluted in saline and aligns with Anemia Mukt Bharat guidelines as a first-line treatment for severe cases.
In March 2025, Hyloris Pharmaceuticals, a Belgium-based pharmaceutical company, partnered with AFT Pharmaceuticals to co-develop HY 094, an injectable therapy for iron deficiency anemia. Through this collaboration, the companies aim to progress Phase III clinical trials and jointly commercialize HY 094 on a global scale, with Hyloris overseeing commercialization in Europe and AFT managing markets outside Europe. This partnership highlights the iron deficiency anemia therapy market’s increasing emphasis on innovative injectable treatments, advanced clinical development, and global co-development strategies. AFT Pharmaceuticals is a New Zealand-based developer of specialty medicines.
