Intelligent Intravenous Infusion Pumps Market, by Type (Constant Volume Control Type, Syringe Injection Type, and Others), Application (Hospital, Clinic, and Other), and Regional Analysis (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2020–2027

Global Intelligent Intravenous Infusion Pumps Market Analysis:

Intelligent intravenous infusion pumps refer to software run medical devices used for infusion of nutritional fluids, medication, hormones, and antibiotics directly into patients’ circulatory systems in controlled amounts through veins. They have integrated software that provides a point of care decision support. These software have drug library profiles which are specially configured as per patient’s requirements. Intelligent intravenous infusion pumps have safety programming options that ensure a safe and controlled amount of dosage to be transferred. Intelligent intravenous infusion pumps are operated by a trained medical operator who programs the duration and amount of fluid to be infused. Intravenous (IV) therapy shows effects quickly on the patient’s immune system and helps in fast recovery from various diseases in comparison to traditional methods of medication. Intelligent intravenous infusion pumps are highly efficient and reduce the chances of IV medication errors. Also, the software library helps doctors to make better decisions regarding the future course of treatment. Due to these benefits, the demand for intelligent intravenous infusion pumps is increasing massively and helping the market to grow.

Growing geriatric population and chronic diseases are the major factors driving the market growth

The geriatric population across the globe has been rising exponentially and has created a major rise in the demand for intelligent intravenous infusion pumps. As per a report released in 2015 by the World Health Organization (WHO), the global geriatric population will reach 2.1 billion by the year 2050. With the growing age, diseases, and other health problems also increase majorly in the geriatric population and oral medication isn’t as effective due to slow metabolism. Owing to this intelligent intravenous infusion pumps are used to deliver critical fluids which include medication of high risk. IV pumps are also used to deliver vital medication like vitamins, minerals, nutrients, amino acids, and others, which help in strengthening immunity and fast recovery. The growing geriatric population globally has led to the widespread adoption of intelligent intravenous infusion pumps.

Furthermore, another report by WHO from June 2020 states that diabetes patients grew from 108 million in 1980 to approximately 422 million in 2014 and the patients are expected to grow even further. Cancer and diabetes are the two chronic diseases that extensively require intelligent intravenous infusion pumps for providing a vital medication. Cancer patients are given chemotherapy using intelligent intravenous infusion pumps as these medications can’t be given orally. Rising cases of chronic disease are also propelling the demand for intelligent intravenous infusion pumps and facilitating the market growth.

High costs, low awareness, and medication errors are the major factors hampering the market growth

High initial investments and maintenance costs are negatively impacting the growth of the global market. Further, many countries with poor healthcare infrastructure and low investments in medical sciences are completely unaware of infusion pump technology, which majorly reduces the customer base. Also, possible chances of system errors or software faults could lead to mistimed delivery of medication or in excess amounts, which could possibly be fatal for patients.

Technological advancements and upgradations to create lucrative market opportunities

Technological advancements, upgradations, and new innovations in intelligent intravenous infusion pumps market are going to create massive opportunities for market growth during the forecast period. One such innovation is the development of portable intelligent intravenous infusion pumps, which majorly reduces the hospital expenditure, make the handling more convenient, and can also be set up in patient’s home. Further, advancements in software systems like automatic drug libraries and real-time dosing guidance facilitate in enhanced treatment by providing fast feedback about drug compliance. These upgradations reduce manual steps as these pumps have auto-documentation and auto programming with bar code medication administration (BCMA) and electronic medical record (EMR). Also, new applications have enabled these pumps to connect with smartphones that allow efficient management of infusion pumps and programming accuracy with real-time display of infusion details.
