Global home infusion therapy market was worth USD 18.3 billion in 2020. It is projected to grow at an 8.5% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), between 2021 and 2028. Infusion therapy is the treatment of patients at home using needles or catheters to administer drugs or biological products. Patients prefer to receive treatment at home over hospitals and healthcare facilities because it is more cost-effective and convenient. This further drives the demand for home infusion therapy. Market drivers include a growing geriatric population, declining mobility, increasing preference for home care and technological advances. Infusion therapy is required for many conditions, including congestive heart disease, cancer, and immune deficiencies. These conditions are not treatable with oral medications. These patients need long-term care, so home infusion therapy can be a cost-effective option to hospital treatment.
Infusion therapy is another benefit that provides nutrition to patients. These devices are a result of technological advances that make home infusion therapy easier and more user-friendly. Smart pumps are becoming more popular because they have advanced features. These pumps are particularly useful for chemotherapy patients as they allow for precise and controlled infusion rates.
The fastest-growing segment in the forecast period is chemotherapy based on its application. The WHO estimates that there were 19.3 million cases of cancer worldwide in 2020. It is expected that the high incidence of cancer will positively impact the growth and future prospects of the chemotherapy market. The market will be driven by the rising popularity of home-based treatment for cancer, due to its cost-effectiveness and other benefits.
Pandemic Impact |
Outlook after COVID |
Emergency room visits fell by half during the pandemic. Admissions not directly related to COVID-19 also experienced a similar, or even faster decline. |
Covid-19 discovered the value and effectiveness of home and in-house treatment for conditions like diabetes and cancer. |
The pandemic resulted in lower rates of hospitalizations and emergency room utilization, which has led to a demand for home medicine delivery. |
Cancer Care at Home has added 12 chemotherapeutics to the program, which were previously not available through home infusion. The program has referred 301 patients to home infusion out of 670 patients. This represents a 46% increase over the previous in-house treatment for cancer. |
Smiths Medical reported that the demand for infusion pumps has increased significantly. Due to COVID-19-related demand, Smiths Medical saw an increase in revenue from its infusion systems of 4%. |
FDA released April 2020 guidelines for infusion pumps and their accessories. It stated that it would not object to certain modifications being made by companies to infusion pumps already cleared. This has had a positive effect on the overall market. |
Many people were hospitalized due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of them had to be put on ventilators. As infected patients were to be placed in areas that will not infect other patients or healthcare professionals, this occupied hospital space. Companies are looking to move patients from hospitals to their homes, increasing demand for home-infusion therapy. The Penn Center for Cancer Care Innovation at University of Pennsylvania's Abramson Cancer Center launched the Cancer Care at Home program in February 2020. The program was designed to improve the availability of oncology treatment to patients at home. The company reported an increase of 700% in patients who participated in the program from mid-March through late-April. This shows the bright future for home infusion markets in the coming years.
Infusion pumps accounted for 50.5% of the market share in 2020. These pumps are popular for administering nutrients and medication. Segment growth is further supported by the availability of many products such as an intravenous, syringe and multichannel pump, as well as peristaltic pumps. The segment growth is expected to be aided by the rising demand for ambulatory pumps and syringes, which are a result of increasing home healthcare preference. The market can be divided into intravenous sets and IV cannulas as well as needleless connectors.
Smart pumps are becoming more popular because they have advanced features such as barcode technology. This technology helps to verify a patient's identity as well as prevents drug administration errors. The highest expected CAGR for needleless connectors is in the forecast period. These connectors provide better safety and facilitate smooth surgeries. They also adhere to good clinical practice (GCP), which is a key contributor to the segment's growth.
With a 27.1% share, the anti-infective segment dominated home infusion therapy's market in 2020. This is due to the large number of procedures that are required for the administration and monitoring of antibiotics. This helps to reduce the risk of infection in patients with other hospital acquired infections (HAIs). The market can be divided into several segments based on its application: anti-infective and endocrinology; hydration therapy; chemotherapy; enteral nutrition; parenteral nutrition; specialty pharmaceuticals, among others.
The fastest-growing segment in the forecast period is expected to be chemotherapy. The demand for pressure pumps will increase due to the increasing incidence of cancer. The pumps used for home chemotherapy are small, continuous pressure pumps that don't require batteries and can be used for longer periods of time. These pumps allow chemotherapy drugs to be administered at the correct infusion speed and the right amount.
North America was the dominant market for home infusion therapy, with a share at 57.1% in 2020. This trend will continue through the forecast period. This is due to the increasing R&D in this region and the growing adoption of new technology for infusion pumps. This market is driven by the growing demand for long-term treatment for certain patients. This market will grow due to the development of alternative healthcare settings and home-infusion services, as well as shifting preference from acute to home care settings.
Over the forecast period, the Asia Pacific market will grow at a substantial CAGR of 10.4%. This is due to increasing awareness among patients about the advantages of home infusion therapy over other in-hospital procedures, and the rising prevalence of diabetes in this region.
Global markets are highly competitive. The rapid adoption of modern healthcare technology to improve healthcare services is one of the main factors that drives market competitiveness.
