Non-PVC IV Bags Market Research, 2031
The global non-pvc iv bags market size was valued at $880.2 million in 2021, and is projected to reach $1,684.5 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2022 to 2031. Non-PVC IV bags are intravenous bags that do not contain polyvinyl chloride as a material. However, PVC material can release harmful chemicals such as di-2-ethyl hexyl phthalate (DEHP), when in contact with the fluids. While, non-PVC bags are made from materials such as polypropylene, polyethylene, copolyester ether, and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA). These bags are used in many healthcare settings including hospitals, clinics, and emergency medical services.
Non-PVC IV bags are also beneficial for homecare as they are made from materials that are resistant to chemicals, heat, and UV light which can help ensure the quality and stability of IV fluids. Non-PVC IV bags are most commonly used in homecare due to their safety, environmental benefits, and convenience to handle. The use of IV bags in homecare settings help improve the quality of care for patients and reduces the healthcare cost.
“The non-PVC IV bags market size decreased during the lockdown period owing to decline in sales of non-PVC IV bags. In addition, increase in trend of home healthcare settings due to COVID-19 is expected to slowly increase the growth of the non-PVC IV bags market.”
Market dynamics
Growth & innovations in the industry for manufacturing medical devices owing to massive pool of health-conscious consumers create an opportunity for the growth of the non-PVC IV bags market share. The growth of the non-PVC IV bags market is expected to be driven by high potential in untapped, emerging markets, due to availability of improved healthcare infrastructure, increase in unmet healthcare needs, and rise in prevalence of chronic diseases. In addition, in some countries there are regulations that limit the use of PVC material in products such as IV bags. This has increased the demand for non-PVC IV bags. Thus, rise in government regulations for IV bags drives the market growth. Moreover, PVC IV bags contain the di-2-ethyl hexyl phthalate (DEHP) a chemical that can leach out from the bags into IV fluids while non-PVC IV bags do not contain DEHP and PVC material which makes the product safer. Thus, rise in awareness regarding usage of non-PVC IV bags supports the market growth. Rise in demand for non-PVC IV bags with increase in number of hospitals and clinics for treatment of chronic diseases creates opportunity for the non-PVC IV bags market share.
Furthermore, the healthcare industry in emerging economies is developing at a significant rate, owing to rise in demand for enhanced healthcare services, significant investments by government to improve healthcare infrastructure, and development of the medical tourism industry in emerging countries. The demand for non-PVC IV bags is not only limited to developed countries but is also being witnessed in the developing countries, such as China, Brazil, and India, which fuel the growth of the market. Factors such as rise in adoption of polypropylene IV bags and polyethylene IV bags and increase in awareness toward harmful effects of PVC IV bags further drive the growth of the market. Furthermore, rise in consumer awareness related to preventive healthcare and ease of accessibility boost the adoption of non-PVC IV bags.
However, increase in healthcare expenditure is expected to drive the growth of the non-PVC IV bags market. In addition, strong presence of leading players such as B. Braun SE, BAUSCH Advanced Technology Group, ICU Medical, Inc., and others in the market create opportunity for the non-PVC IV bags market growth.
