Empty IV Bags Market Dynamics

Driver: Environment-Friendly Nature of Non-PVC Empty IV Bags

Many researchers from the domain have stated that due to phthalates leaching from equipment, PVC-made empty IV bangs are hazardous to human health and the environment as well. Furthermore, discarding PVC products through the incineration process leads to the production of toxic Hydrogen Chloride (HCL) which may contribute to acid rain. Therefore, key companies operating in the field such as Baxter, Hospira, and B.Braun Melsungen AG have been manufacturing IV bags that are PVC-free material. In addition, these bags have characteristics such as thermal stability, moisture-barrier properties, and inertness required for IV medications and are environment-friendly in nature. For instance, Hospira launched the VISIV line of PVC/DEHP-free IV bags that have no overwrap, thereby reducing the amount of plastic that has to be discarded. PVC-free empty IV bags are usually made of Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA), multilayer polyethylene, or polypropylene, which are compatible with the drug solution and have high seal strength. Pactiv LLC manufactures polypropylene-based bags, known as Propyflex bags, which have won the 2000 Medical Design Excellence Award in a program sponsored by Canon Communications LLC. To substitute the use of PVC, various firms are turning to plasticizer-free biologically inert materials. In the past five years, B. Braun spent around USD 500.00 million in developing PVC- and DEHP-free products. As a replacement of glass and PVC containers, the availability of newly developed modern materials in different designs is expected to boost growth. Similarly, in March 2021, Fagron Sterile Services U.S. (FSS), a 503B outsourcing leader, announced the addition of a new platform, Intravenous (IV) bags, to its product portfolio. Hence, with the adoption of PVC-free empty IV bags, the healthcare industry can make significant progress in protecting the health and safety of the patient population globally. Such factors are anticipated to drive the adoption of non-PVC empty IV bags, thereby contributing to the growth of empty IV bags market.

Driver: Increasing Government Initiatives

Government agencies of numerous countries are putting in serious effort to reduce the usage of phthalates IV bags wherever possible without compromising the element of 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 a certain set of guidelines about the reduced usage of particular types of phthalates in medical devices. These initiatives aimed to ensure a continued reduction in the use of classified phthalates in medical devices. Similarly, in May 2006, the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices of Germany issued a recommendation for hospitals to minimize or avoid the use of DEHP-containing medical devices for specific population groups, such as premature babies, infants, children, adolescents, pregnant women, and nursing mothers. The recommendation obliges manufacturers to initiate the production of alternative products that are primarily PVC-free and nontoxic. Therefore, such government initiatives are driving the growth of the market. Moreover, favorable reimbursement policies in several countries are expected to drive market growth. The CMS in the U.S. covers various surgeries and treatment procedures that entail IV bags. Similarly, various government agencies in other countries cover some part of numerous treatment procedures, which is expected to surge the sale of empty IV bags.

Restraint: Stringent Regulations

Stringent regulations issued by the U.S. FDA may turn into a reason for hindrance in the manufacturing process of IV solutions. The setup and production costs are also high, in addition to the need for uninterrupted monitoring. The quality and sterility standards are very high and slight contamination can hamper the sale of an entire batch. For instance, in January 2016, Baxter International recalled an entire batch of intravenous solutions after a customer reported a bug in the product. The recalled products were 70% dextrose injection with expiration in July 2016 and 0.9% NaCl solution with expiration in November 2016. Moreover, warning letters issued by the FDA regarding operations and processes have to be released publicly, which affects the brand image and credibility of companies. Other difficulties linked with the use of PVC bags are a direct or indirect risk to human health and concerns regarding improper disposal of PVC causing hostile impacts on the environment. This may damagingly affect market growth. The development, approval, and post-approval surveillance of medical devices, including IV bags is regulated by the U.S. FDA. Also, it is essential that these bags display precise labels and meet the packing standard requirements for getting FDA approval. Thus, the mandatory regulatory acquiescence might delay product development and commercialization phase, which can restrain the empty IV bags market in upcoming years. According to the EU authorities, protracted exposure to DEHP and endocrine-damaging BPA is associated with serious health issues in humans & the environment. Therefore, the EC recently adopted a decision to restrict the use of four phthalates in consumer as well as medical products. Compared to foreign markets, it is more difficult to penetrate the domestic U.S. and EU markets, due to stringent regulations. Their requirements are complex and focused on the safety of consumers and environmental concerns. However, in emerging economies such as China, India, and Mexico, market entry is relatively easier due to the lack of clear standards for regulatory approval & risk management.
