Iron deficiency anemia is one of the most common forms of anemia that occurs when there is not enough iron in the body. Anemia is a medical condition caused by low healthy red blood cells. Red blood cells (RBCs) supply oxygen to body tissues. Iron plays an important role in making hemoglobin which is part of red blood cells. Hemoglobin deficiency indicates less oxygen in the body. Therefore, it is quite important to maintain iron levels. For the transport of oxygen, the human body needs iron. It can be prevented through the consumption of iron-rich foods such as meat, vegetables, fruits, and grains. Moreover, vitamin C also helps to prevent iron deficiency anemia. Some of the causes of iron deficiency anemia include inadequate iron intake, the inability to absorption of iron, pregnancy, and endometriosis. The symptoms of iron deficiency anemia include fatigue, tiredness, rough and dry skin, tachycardia, neurocognitive dysfunction, restless legs syndrome, difficulty breathing, or upper body discomfort.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
- COVID-19 is an infectious disease that originated in Hubei province of the Wuhan city in China in late December. The highly contagious disease, caused by a virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is transmitted from human to human. Since the outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to almost 213 countries around the globe with the World Health Organization declaring it a public health emergency on March 11, 2020.
- Pharmaceutical and biotech companies together with governments around the globe are working to address the COVID-19 outbreak, from supporting the development of vaccines to planning for medicine supply chain challenges. Currently, around 115 vaccine candidates and 155 molecules are in the R&D pipeline. Moreover, commonly used drugs such as hydroxychloroquine have witnessed a dramatic surge in demand for the management of COVID-19. Such high demand for these drugs has presented huge opportunities for manufacturers of COVID-19 management drugs, as many developed countries are facing shortage of these drugs. Thus, the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries are expected witness a significant growth in the future owing to the demand for vaccine and treatment drugs for COVID-19. This in turn is expected to have a significant impact on the iron deficiency anemia treatment market.
Top Impacting Factors
Increase in prevalence of anemia among different groups of society, including infants, adolescents, and pregnant women contributed to the growth of the market.
In addition, certain factors are linked with the high prevalence of anemia and it includes obesity, increase in binge eating and consumption of junk foods, and rise in levels of stress are some factors which boost the market growth.
Increase in the risk of haemodilution in pregnancy drives the growth of the iron-deficiency anemia treatment market.
On the contrary, a rise in awareness about the treatment of anemia and an increase in investments in R&D activities to develop a novel treatment for anemia is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for the expansion of the market during the forecast period.
However, lack of adequate testing coupled with some adverse reactions attributed to iron supplements is one of the major factors likely to hamper the growth of the market.
