However, product recalls and infusion pumps malfunctions such as software defects and user interface issues are major growth restraining factors for the market           

Germany’s insulin infusion pumps segment is expected to grow at a high compound annual growth rate of 9.4% during the forecast period. The key factors driving the growth of the market include increased incidences of chronic diseases, rapid escalation seen in the geriatric population, rising surge for ambulatory infusion pumps, and the burgeoning number of people undergoing surgical procedures.

These pumps are mainly used to administer critical fluids that include high-risk medication. Most of the infusion pumps are equipped with safety features and inbuilt alarms for operator alerts intended to activate in the event of a problem. Many conditions such as immune deficiencies, cancer, and congestive heart failure cannot be treated with oral medications and require infusion therapy.

While administering medication, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and varied essential micronutrients can also be added to the infusion for collateral nutrition. Smart pumps are intravenous pumps that are technologically advanced with automation, drug libraries, and various operator and patient safety features for accurate, precise, and controlled delivery of fluids into the patient system especially beneficial in the treatment of chemotherapy, and this is the reason smart pumps are gaining a lot of popularity in the medical sector.

Based on, disease indication, chemotherapy is projected to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 19.3 million new cases of cancer and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths were reported globally in 2020. However, effective cancer treatments are on the rise which has led to an increase in the number of cancer survivors.

Moreover, a report by the World Health Organization (WHO)predicted that the percentage of the world’s population will double from 12% to 22% between 2015- 2050 indicating the rise in the geriatric population and their high risk of experiencing chronic and long-term health conditions. This will create a market for infusion pumps that will play an important role in infusion therapies for chronically ill patients.

The demand for these pumps increased considerably after the onset of COVID-19. Smiths Medical stated that demand for items such as ventilators, airway management products, patient monitors, and infusion pumps increased substantially. The company’s revenue from infusion systems increased by 4% in 2020, driven by COVID-19-related demand. ICU medical also reported that the demand for its infusion systems increased due to high demand from existing customers and government stockpile orders.

The demand for intravenous pumps in the post-pandemic era is also expected to witness significant growth as the prevalence of diseases like diabetes, cancer, and heart ailments are expected to rise due to rapid lifestyle changes. These factors will boost market growth throughout the forecast period.

Product Insights
