INTRAVENOUS NEEDLES MARKET OVERVIEW

The global intravenous needles market size was USD 2.31 billion in 2024 and the market is projected to touch USD 3.94 billion by 2033 at a CAGR of 6.0% during the forecast period.

Intravenous (IV) needles are medical devices used to deliver fluids, medications, or blood products directly into a patient's bloodstream through a vein. These needles are commonly used in hospitals, clinics, and medical settings to provide quick and efficient access to a patient's circulatory system.

These IV needles consist of a hollow, flexible tube (catheter) with a sharp needle at one end and a connector hub at the other end. The needle is used to puncture the skin and access a vein. Once the needle is properly inserted into the vein, the sharp needle is removed, leaving only the catheter in place. The catheter remains in the vein, and medications, fluids, or blood products can be administered through it. Furthermore, healthcare professionals ensure their correct use of these needles to prevent infections and ensure patient well-being.

COVID-19 IMPACT

High Patient Volumes Surged the Usage of IV Needles for Virus Infection Treatment

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the intravenous needles market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 pandemic supported the market for intravenous needles. This health emergency led to a surge in demand for IV therapy due to the need for administering fluids, medications, and treatments to severely ill COVID-19 patients. As, IV needles became crucial for delivering medications such as antivirals, antibiotics, and fluids to manage patients' symptoms. Furthermore, hospitals and healthcare facilities faced high patient volumes that caused increased usage of IV needles for both coronavirus-infected and non-coronavirus-infected patients. This surge strained supply chains and highlighted the importance of reliable access to medical supplies, including IV needles. Additionally, this higher demand for these needles created an opportunity for the market which will likely continue to grow in the coming years.
