Intravenous Immunoglobulin Market Size, Share, and Analysis by 2028

The intravenous immunoglobulin market was valued at US$ 11,206.54 million in 2021 and is likely to reach to a value of US$ 18,672.55 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.6% from 2022 to 2028.

Immunoglobulins are the antibodies produced naturally by the body’s immune system, which help fight infection and disease. The deficiency of immunoglobulin requires the external administration of immunoglobulin and is known as immunoglobulin replacement therapy (IgRT). IgRT can be given intravenously and subcutaneously. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) and subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIg) are selected based on the indication and severity. IVIg is manufactured from human plasma. It contains antibodies and is used to treat a growing number of immunologic, hematologic, and neurologic illnesses.

The intravenous immunoglobulin market is segmented into type, application, distribution channel, end user, and geography. By geography, the market is broadly segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and South & Central America. This report offers insights and in-depth analysis of the market, emphasizing parameters, such as market trends, market dynamics, and the competitive analysis of the globally leading market players.     

Intravenous Immunoglobulin Market: Strategic Insights

Market Insights

Rising prevalence of immunodeficiency diseases and increasing geriatric population is driving the intravenous immunoglobulin market.

According to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), over 200 different types of primary immune deficiency diseases (PIDDs) affect about 500,000 people in the US. The rare genetic diseases can be chronic, weak, and expensive. Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune bleeding disorder characterized by abnormally low levels of platelets; a situation referred to as thrombocytopenia. According to the Rare Diseases Organization, around 200,000 ITP cases are recorded worldwide annually. Further, according to the United Nations Population Division, World Population Prospects 2019, Asian and European countries have some of the world’s oldest populations aged 65 and over. Japan is at the top with 28%, followed by Italy at 23%. Further, Finland, Portugal, and Greece are among the top five countries with an aged population under 22%. Many of the patients treated with IVIG are above the age of 60 years. With aging, the ability to produce T-cells to fight diseases gets significantly reduced. Thus, an older person’s body is easily prone to several infections and diseases, which increases the demand for immune therapies that involve the use of IVIg. Thus, the rise in immunodeficiency diseases and increasing geriatric population across the globe is bolstering the intravenous immunoglobulin market. 

Type-Based Insights

Based on the type, the intravenous immunoglobulin market is segmented into IgG, IgM, IgA, IgE, and IgD. The IgG type immunoglobulin segment held the largest market share in 2021. However, the handheld segment is anticipated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period owing to its wide application of IgG in treating several categories of disorders.

Application-Based Insights

Based on application, the intravenous immunoglobulin market is segmented into hypogammaglobulinemia, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, immunodeficiency diseases, myasthenia gravis, multifocal motor neuropathy, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, inflammatory myopathies, specific antibody deficiency, Guillain-Barre syndrome, and others. In 2021, the immunodeficiency diseases segment held the market's largest share. Moreover, the same segment is expected to witness growth in its demand at the fastest CAGR from 2022 to 2028 due to the rising prevalence of immunodeficiency diseases and increasing FDA approvals for IVIg products to treat immunodeficiency.

Distribution Channel-Based Insights

Based on distribution channel, the intravenous immunoglobulin market is segmented into hospital pharmacy, retail pharmacy, and others. In 2021, the hospital pharmacy segment held the largest share of the market. Further, the retail pharmacy segment is expected to witness growth in its demand at the fastest CAGR from 2022 to 2028, owing to the expansions of retail pharmacies and the shift of consumer behavior towards organized retail pharmacies that offer high-quality drugs and medicines.
