Global Intravenous Immunoglobulin (Ivig) Market Is Expected to Reach $11.6 Billion, by 2021 - Allied Market Research

A new report by Allied Market Research, titled, "Global Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) Market - Size, Industry Analysis, Trends, Opportunities, Growth and Forecast, 2014-2021", forecasts the Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) market to grow at a CAGR of 6.8% between 2015 and 2021. Hypogammaglobulinemia, Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP), immunodeficiency are the most prominent disease classes, collectively contributing about 53% of the global IVIG market revenue in 2014. Myasthenia Gravis would be the fastest growing segment with a double digit growth during the forecast period, due to the increasing adoption of IVIG as first line treatment.

Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is the parenteral preparation of purified immunoglobulin derived from large pools of human plasma containing antibodies against a broad spectrum of bacterial and viral agents. The IVIG demand has been growing on account of increased usage in primary immunodeficiency and application in newer indications. The emerging concept of hyper-immune globulin is likely to increase the efficacy of IVIG treatments by providing passive immunity to patients against disease causing agents. Allied Market Research estimates that about 130 tons of IVIG was issued in 2014 and is expected to reach 215 tons by 2021.

On contrary, the side effects associated with the use of IVIG infusion would restrict the market growth to an extent. Moreover, current high cost of IVGI treatment may trigger a shift towards cost effective corticosteroids treatment, restraining the IVIG market growth. However, improved production and purification techniques along with the improved plasma yield would help to overcome cost constraints; eventually supplementing the growth of IVIG market. Furthermore, anticipated approval for Alzheimer's and Multiple Sclerosis provides growth opportunity for...
