Medical Fluid Bags Market: COVID-19 Impact

The demand for medical fluid bags increased significantly during the pandemic period. Increased patient populations across the world drastically increased the requirement for medical fluid bags. These bags were primely utilized for fluid collection and electrolyte supply into the body. In March 2020, the WHO issued preliminary recommendations advising intravenous fluid treatment for infected and critically ill COVID-19 patients. Furthermore, the UK Joint Anesthetic and Intensive Care & International Fluid Academy guidelines advised that critical patients get fluid treatment to address their fluid and electrolyte needs. This increased the need for IV bags during the treatment during the pandemic period, causing significant revenue growth for the global medical fluid bag market.

Medical Fluid Bags Market: Growth Drivers

Growing geriatric population may boost the market growth over the forecast period

The global increase in the number of geriatric and older persons is likely to boost the market. According to the World Health Organization, the share of the world population over 60 years old is predicted to rise by 22% by 2050, reaching 2 billion people. In the year 2020, the number of persons over 60 years old outweighed children under the age of five. By 2050, 80 percent of the world's elderly will be living in low- and middle-income countries. This is a significant problem for countries throughout the world since they must guarantee that their social and health systems are capable of dealing with this demographic transformation. Chronic obstructive lung disease, diabetes, obesity, and heart disease are all frequent illnesses in older people. Geriatric syndromes refer to the rise of complicated health conditions such as urine incontinence, frailty, and cancer as people get older. As medical fluid bags are used to store blood, drain, glucose, and other liquids, it will have a significant impact on the growth of the global medical fluid bag market. Furthermore, the increase and development of numerous chronic diseases, such as obesity, cardiovascular diseases, and other associated conditions, are also driving the market.

Medical Fluid Bags Market: Restraints

Health hazards associated with components used in the manufacturing of medical fluid bags may impede market growth

Concerns about incorrect disposal having a negative influence on the environment, as well as difficulties linked with the usage of PVC-made medical fluid bags on patients’ overall health, might stymie market growth. Prolonged exposure to endocrine-disrupting di-(2-Ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and bisphenol-A (BPA) has been linked to major health problems, according to the National Centers for Biotechnology Information.

Medical Fluid Bags Market: Opportunities

Increasing the use of eco-friendly materials for the manufacturing of medical fluid bags will provide better growth opportunities for the market expansion

This growing emphasis on the usage of environmentally friendly materials in the creation of medical specialty bags will have a favorable influence on the market's growth in the coming years. Because of the negative effects of DEHP-PVC medical bags on human health and the environment, PVC-free medical bags have been developed. Several governmental and private groups are encouraging the adoption of environmentally friendly materials in medical disposables to safeguard caregivers and patients from the pollution generated by PVC manufacture and disposal. To limit the quantity of waste created during ostomy treatments, vendors are also producing washable and biodegradable pouch liners, which is one of the important trends in the global medical fluid bags market.

Medical Fluid Bags Market: Challenges

Stringent regulatory approvals for the manufacturing of medical fluid bags pose a major challenge to the market growth

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States oversees the development, approval, and post-approval monitoring of medical devices, counting medical fluid bags. The majority of medical fluid bags are classed as Class I medical devices, requiring manufacturers to register their businesses. In order to receive FDA clearance, medical fluid bags must also have correct labeling and fulfill the packaging standard standards of 21 CFR 175.105. Such mandatory regulatory requirements may cause a delay in product launches, limiting the arrival of new medical fluid bags in the market.

Medical Fluid Bags Market: Segmentation

The global medical fluid bag market is categorized into product type, material, end-user, and region. Based on product type, the market is categorized into intravenous bags, blood bags, dialysis bags, and others. The material segment of the market is bifurcated into polyolefins, PVC compounds, and others.
