Blood/IV Warmers Market: Rapidly Evolving Industry…… COVID-19….
The global blood/IV
warmers market size is expected
to reach USD 1.2 billion by 2026,
registering a CAGR of 7.6% over the
forecast period, according to a new report published by Grand View Research,
Inc. Rising incidence of road accidents, gunshot wounds, mishaps, and other
injuries is expected to drive the growth. In addition, increasing demand for
Blood/IV warmers from various nontraditional end-use sectors operating in
extreme temperature environment, such as military forces, rescue services, and
ambulatory is also expected to propel the market.
As the need for infusion therapies increase
owing to the exponentially growing number of Covid-19 positive cases, the
demand for IV (intravenous) fluids are also on the rise. Critical patients may
also require a blood transfusion in case of other co-morbidities occurring
along with the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), which is a result of
Covid-19. Since IV fluids and blood are always stored under cold to room
temperature environments, administering them as it is would result in patient
hypothermia, which can turn fatal for the patient. Hence, blood/IV warmers are
needed for bringing the fluids to body temperature, thereby helping in faster
patient recovery and significantly lowering the risk of infusion/transfusion
shock. We are working to account for this surge in our estimates. The updated
report will account for Covid-19 as a key market contributor.
Growing number of road accidents is
among the top factors driving the demand for Blood/IV warmers. Road mishaps is
the 8th leading cause of death of individuals across all ages, with a
significant percent of fatalities among victims occurring due to severe blood
loss. According to the Global Status Report on Road Safety 2018, approximately
1.35 million individuals die in road accidents every year. Ambulatory and
emergency paramedic services, therefore need to provide blood/IV fluids to
patients at such remote and extreme conditions. Since IV solutions and blood
are stored in lower temperatures to preserve their potency, directly
introducing them to patient can cause induced hypothermia. With added risk of
hypothermia as a result of blood loss, stored blood is initially heated to body
temperature before infusion into patient. In developed countries, ambulatory
services have advanced portable blood/IV warmers that help stabilize a patient
in emergency situations. In developing nations, due to the higher cost of
portable blood/IV warmers, the risk of fatality due to hypothermia or blood
loss is higher as non-portable blood/IV warmers are generally hospital based.
Blood/IV warmers are also required by
search and rescue forces, as they deal with numerous victims of natural
calamities and mishaps that often occur in the remotest or most extreme
environments. With a recent surge of observed natural calamities and migration
of individuals to newer territories, the need to maintain and equip rescue
forces with latest and best medical devices has become a critical requirement
from a nation’s perspective. This is reason why the demand of blood/IV warmer
devices has observed a growth among rescue forces in the international market.

Growth of surgical procedures
worldwide has also led to the rise in demand for both portable and non-portable
blood/IV warmer devices. These devices help surgeons to maintain a patient’s
body temperature at optimum levels and prevent the risk of hypothermia at the
surgery table. In hospital setting, non-portable blood/IV warmer devices are
used often as they can heat a greater volume of blood or IV solutions in
addition to being more affordable and easier to maintain.
Further key findings from the report
suggest:
·
By product type, portable
blood/IV warming systems is expected to grow in the forthcoming years owing to
increasing demand from ambulatory services and military/defense sectors, and
increasing incidence of road accidents and mishaps
·
Although hospitals/clinics were
observed as the largest market on the basis of end use, the rescue forces and
ambulatory services segment is expected to witness respectable growth during
the forecast period to address the critical requirement and growing demand in
remote and extreme conditions that these segments operate in
·
Asia Pacific is anticipated to
be the fastest growing segment owing to rising number of surgeries, presence of
huge population demography, and increasing quality of healthcare demanded by
patients
·
The players profiled in
blood/IV warmers market are Stryker, Belmont Medical, Kimberly-Clark, 3M,
Mennen Medical, and Smiths Medical
The
global blood warmers market size was estimated at USD 662 million in 2018
and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 7.6% over the forecast period. Rise in
surgical procedures worldwide, along with growing incidence of road accident
fatalities is anticipated to drive the market growth. Additionally, rising
demand of blood warmers from ambulatory services and military/defense
sectors is expected to further fuel the growth in near future.
Hypothermia
is among the top risk factors that can result in fatalities among patients of
physical trauma. In U.S., an estimated 10 to 12 million incidents of
hypothermia along with another 2 to 3 million incidents of hyperpyrexia were
observed in 2016. Factors, such as blood loss due to injury/shock, extreme
environments, infectious disease epidemic, natural calamities, physical trauma,
and hypothermia caused by infusion of cold stored blood/IV, increases the risk
of fatality. It has been observed that in U.S. out of few million incidents of
IV induced hypothermia, 75.0% cases are caused in ambulatory settings. In order
to prevent risk due to blood/IV induced hypothermia, fluid warmers have
witnessed an increasing demand in U.S. and European Union (EU) since 2010,
thereby driving the growth of the market for blood warmers.
Over
70.0% of patient warming demands in U.S. are met in hospitals, whereas the rest
are met in remote centers, such as ambulatory services and others. Surgical
procedures and hospital stays are the biggest factor that demand infusion of IV
solutions or blood transfusion. In order to prevent transfusion/infusion
induced hypothermia, fluid warmers have traditionally played an important
role in preventing fatalities among citizens of developed nations.
Furthermore,
many surgical procedures require transplantation and implants that are often
maintained well below regular body temperature in order to control microbial
infection. Introduction of such implants are observed to reduce the body
temperature of the patient, thereby requiring patient heating systems. Additionally,
weaker patients find it difficult to regulate their body temperature and
therefore, require body warming devices to help them recover better and reduce
the risk of complications.
