Ferritin Testing Market Drivers and Opportunities

Increasing Prevalence of Iron Deficiency in Aging Population to Favor Market Growth

The older population is likely to suffer more from iron deficiencies, such as anemia. The common causes of anemia in the old population are chronic disease and iron deficiency. Apart from this, Vitamin B12 deficiency, folate deficiency, and gastrointestinal bleeding also cause anemia in the old population. The chances of anemia prevalence increase with advancing age. As per the NCBI, anemia occurs in more than 10% of people over 65 age, and in more than 50% of individuals who are older than the age of 80. The geriatric population is increasing worldwide. For instance, according to OCHA, the global population aged 65 years or over is projected to rise by 6% in 2050. Thus, increasing prevalence of iron deficiency in the aged population is expected to boost the demand for ferritin testing..

Government Initiatives to Reduce Anemia Burden Worldwide

Anemia is one of the most serious global public health problems. As per the WHO, it affects over half of the pre-school children and pregnant women in developing countries and at least 30–40% in industrialized countries. In low-income countries, anemia is one of the major causes of deaths in children under five years and pregnant women. Reducing the burden of anemia would make a major contribution to reducing malnutrition globally. Many countries are running several programs to reduce the burden of anemia. For instance, Indian government is running several programs, including Integrated Child Development Scheme, National Nutritional Anemia Control Program, Weekly Iron and Folic Acid Supplementation, and National Iron Plus Initiative, to combat anemia. The Anemia Mukt Bharat is focusing on reducing anemia from 50% in 2016 to 32% by 2022 amongst pregnant women. Such initiatives increase awareness regarding iron deficiency and increase adoption of testing practices.
