Thus, most healthcare professionals are deploying infusion & injection therapies, as these are ideal for a successful prognosis. This is anticipated to boost the market growth in future.
Global intravenous therapy and vein access devices market is segmented by product type, end user, and medical applications. Based on different product types, the market is segmented into implantable port, intravenous catheter, hypodermic needles, infusion pumps, and other products. Further, implantable port is sub-classified into single lumen implantable port and double lumen implantable port. Also, intravenous catheter is further sub-segmented into peripheral intravenous catheter, central intravenous catheter and peripherally inserted central catheter. The intravenous catheter segmented by product type is expected to maintain its dominance during the analysis period. Intravenous catheter is placed into vein to administer medication or fluids and can also be used to draw blood from the vein. This device plays an essential part in medical treatments for acute illness, cancer, surgery, trauma, and anesthesia. The medical application segment comprises volume expanders, medication administration, blood based products, nutrition and buffer solution. By end user, market is bifurcated into hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, clinics.
The North America IV therapy and vein access devices market accounted for the highest market share of around 41% in 2016, and is expected to maintain this trend during the forecast period. This dominance of North America is attributed by rise in chronic diseases such as diabetes, ongoing trend of preventive healthcare, and increase in the number of trauma and road accident cases.
