The empty IV bags market size is expected to reach USD 5.6 billion by 2026, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., exhibiting a CAGR of 8.1%. Rising incidence of cancer, favorable government initiatives related to non-PVC IV bags, and growing risk of malnutrition across the globe are the key driving factors for the market.
Government agencies of various countries are taking several steps to reduce usage of phthalate IV bags wherever possible without compromising on patient safety. For instance, Denmark introduced a national ban on Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), Dibp Plasticizer (DIBP), and Butyl Benzyl Phthalate (BBP) under its national phthalate strategy, which was initially set for December 2013 and was later postponed to 2015. The Danish Health and Medicines Authority (DHMA) announced certain set of guidelines pertaining to usage of particular types of phthalates in medical devices. The aim of these initiatives was to ensure continued reduction in the use of classified phthalates in medical devices. Similarly, in May 2006, the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices, Germany, issued a recommendation for hospitals to minimize or avoid use of DEHP-containing medical devices for specific population groups, such as premature babies, infants, children, adolescents, pregnant women, and nursing mothers. The recommendation necessitates manufacturers to produce alternative products that are PVC-free and nontoxic.
Malnutrition is one of the major drivers of the market. According to the UNICEF, poor nutrition in the first 1,000 days of an infant’s life may lead to stunted growth and impaired cognitive ability. An infant’s diet must contain a proper balance of starch, minerals, vitamins, amino acids, and lipids. These essential nutrients can be administered, if need be, through parenteral route, which is expected aid growth.
