Driving factors
The growing prevalence of iron deficient anemia is driving the demand for iron sucrose injection for replenishing a patient’s iron stores, which are essential for producing red blood cells and haemoglobin. It was found that iron deficiency anemia is the leading cause of anemia, affecting over 1.27 billion people. The growing demand for effective intravenous iron treatment due to its effectiveness in elevating haemoglobin level with the minimum risk that may cause due to unnecessary blood transfusion, is propelling the market.
Restraining Factor
One of the main factors restraining the iron sucrose injection market is the strict regulatory standards and competition with alternative oral formulations. Further, potential adverse effects associated with IV iron sucrose injection, including low blood pressure and allergic reactions, hamper its adoption, ultimately impacting the market growth.
Market Segmentation
The global iron sucrose injection market is divided into application and end-user.
Global Iron Sucrose Injection Market, By Application:
Which segment dominates the iron sucrose injection market in terms of application, and what factors are driving the market?
The chronic kidney diseases segment dominated the market with the largest share, due to an increasing incidence of chronic kidney disease driven by factors like diabetes and hypertension.
