Home Infusion Therapy Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Infusion Pumps, Needleless Connectors), By Application (Anti-infective, Chemotherapy), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2023 - 2030

Report Overview

The global home infusion therapy market size was valued at USD 33.5 billion in 2022 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0% from 2023 to 2030. Home infusion therapy refers to the process in which patients receive treatment at home through the administration of drugs or biologicals through catheters and needles. Receiving treatment at home as opposed to hospitals or healthcare facilities is a cost-effective and more convenient option for patients, further driving the need for home infusion therapy.

The Covid-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the home infusion market as the technique of home infusion was the need of the hour as healthcare settings were burdened with increasing covid patients. The regional and country-wide lockdowns had significantly affected operations and supply chains, but the market increased considerably in 2020. According to Medtech Dive, in October 2020, Baxter announced third-quarter sales of USD 2.97 billion, which is a 4% increase, due to the growing demand for its COVID-related medical products. Additionally, Baxter announced operational sales growth of 6% (3.2 billion) in Q3 2021 as compared to 3.0 billion in Q3 2020, reflecting the steady impact of pandemic recovery.

The COVID-19 pandemic led to a spike in the hospitalization of several people and often many were to be placed on ventilators. This occupied space in hospitals as the infected patients are to be placed where they will not contaminate patients and the healthcare professionals affecting them. Due to the increasing need for space and beds in hospitals, companies are focusing to transition patients from the hospital to in-home, creating demand for home infusion therapy. The key factors fueling the growth of the market include the increasing geriatric population with decreased mobility profile, rising preference for home care, and rapid technological advancements. Several conditions such as immune deficiencies, cancer, and congestive heart failure require infusion therapy as these conditions cannot be treated with oral medication. Since these patients require long-term treatment, home infusion therapy is considered a more cost-effective alternative to receiving treatment in hospitals.

COVID19 impact: 14.0% increase in demand

In February 2020, the Cancer Care at Home program was launched by the Penn Center for Cancer Care Innovation at the University of Pennsylvania’s Abramson Cancer Center. It aimed to broaden the delivery of oncology treatments to patients in the home setting. From mid-March to late April, the company reported a 700% increase in the number of patients participating in the program. This highlights the bright future that lies ahead for the home infusion market in the years to come.

Product Insights

The infusion pumps segment accounted for the largest revenue share of over 51.0% in 2022 as these pumps are widely preferred for the delivery of nutrients and medications. On the basis of product, the market for home infusion therapy is segmented into infusion pumps, ambulatory infusion pumps, intravenous sets, IV cannulas, and needleless connectors. The availability of a variety of products such as enteral, syringe, multichannel, and peristaltic pumps further contributes to the segment growth. The rising demand for syringes and ambulatory pumps owing to the increasing preference for home healthcare is also anticipated to contribute to the segment growth. 

Nowadays, smart pumps are widely used as these pumps contain advanced features such as barcode technology, which helps in the verification of a patient’s identity and prevents drug administration errors. Needleless connectors are anticipated to register the highest CAGR over the forecast period. These connectors offer improved safety, enable smooth surgeries, and help adhere to good clinical practice (GCP), which contributes to the growth of the segment.

Application Insights

The anti-infective segment dominated the market for home infusion therapy in 2022 with a revenue share of over 26.9%. On the basis of application, the market has been segmented into anti-infective, endocrinology, hydration therapy, chemotherapy, enteral nutrition, parenteral nutrition, and specialty pharmaceuticals. This is attributed to the considerable number of procedures performed for the administration of antifungal and antibiotic drugs. It also helps reduce exposure to patients with other hospital-acquired infections (HAIs).

Chemotherapy is estimated to be the fastest-growing segment over the forecast period. With the growing incidences of cancer, the demand for pressure pumps is expected to increase in the coming years. Pumps used for chemotherapy at home are compact, continuous pressure pumps that do not require a battery and can hence be used for a longer period of time. With the help of these pumps, chemotherapy drugs can be administered at the appropriate infusion speed and in the right amounts.

Regional Insights

North America dominated the market in 2022 with a revenue share of over 56.5% and this trend is expected to continue throughout the forecast period. This can be attributed to the increasing R&D in the region and the rising adoption of new technology in infusion pumps. The increasing need for long-term therapy for patients with certain conditions is driving the regional market. Development of alternate healthcare settings and home infusion services and shifting preference from acute care to home care settings due to the low cost and enhanced patient mobility would boost the growth of this market in the coming years.

The Asia Pacific market is expected to register the fastest CAGR of 9.9% over the forecast period. This is attributed to rising patient awareness regarding the benefits of home infusion therapy over in-hospital procedures and the growing prevalence of diabetes in the region. The growing geriatric population and the rise in chronic diseases in the region are expected to further fuel the market growth. According to the Times of India, around 75 million people over the age of 60 years suffer from some chronic disease in India, which might increase the adoption of home care services in the country.
