Global Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT) Treatment Market Size is valued at USD 9.38 billion in 2023 and is predicted to reach USD 13.55 billion by the year 2031 at a 4.81% CAGR during the forecast period for 2024 to 2031.
Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT) Treatment Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Drug Types (Lepirudin, Danaparoid, Argatroban), By Test Types (Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA), Serotonin Release Assay (SRA), Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), Heparin-Induced Platelet Activation (HIPA) Test), By End User, By Region, And By Segment Forecasts, 2026 to 2035
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia refers to a complication, such as pulmonary embolism, acute myocardial infarction, deep venous thrombotic stroke, etc., that can occur in patients due to taking heparin products. Hence, the adoption of Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia is expected to increase in the near future as concerns grow over the adverse reaction of the drug by the antibody generation.
The growing adoption of heparin, an anticoagulant for cardiovascular and orthopaedic treatment surgery, is expected to drive the growth of the global Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia market. The rising usage of heparin in acute coronary syndromes, venous thromboembolism, atrial fibrillation, and dialysis are some of the other factors likely to augment the target market growth. The increasing research and investment in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia globally are expected to push the market expansion in the coming years.
Nevertheless, the substantial expense associated with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, together with the COVID-19 pandemic, are elements that may restrict the expansion of the target market throughout the projection period. Moreover, the escalation of R&D activities, governmental initiatives promoting heparin usage, and investments from leading entities are anticipated to generate substantial revenue growth potential for participants in the worldwide Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia market over the forecast period.
The Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia market is segmented on the basis of drug types, test types, and end users. The drug types segment includes lepirudin, danaparoid, and argatroban. By test types, the market is segmented into enzyme immunoassay (EIA), Serotonin Release Assay (SRA), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and heparin-induced platelet activation (HIPA) test. By end user, the market is segmented into hospitals, diagnostic centres, specialized clinics, hospital pharmacies, home care settings, and mail-order pharmacies.
The argatroban category is expected to hold a major share of the global Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia market in 2023. This is attributed to new product introductions, a rise in the adoption of argatroban with thrombosis and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. Additionally, argatroban is given intravenously, absorbed in the liver, and has a half-life of about 50 min due to its hepatic absorption. It is used in patients with renal dysfunction.
The hospital pharmacy segment is estimated to grow at a rapid rate in the global Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia market owing to growing concerns for patients with HIT; hospitals and healthcare sectors are well-equipped. Hence, the growing cases of HIT require special diagnosis, prompt treatment, and constant monitoring to support the growth of the market. Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia in the hospital pharmacy offers the required infrastructure, equipment, and experienced healthcare professionals.
The North American heparin-induced Thrombocytopenia market is expected to report the highest market share in the near future. This can be attributed to the strong focus on HIT patients in the region, with the increasing adoption of Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia for the treatment of different disorders. In addition, the increasing number of patients who have recently received dialysis is focusing on the development of Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia in the region. In addition, Asia Pacific is estimated to grow at a rapid rate in the global Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia market due to growing concerns about HIT patients, increasing research activities, government initiatives, and increasing funding in various industries.
