IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA TREATMENT MARKET SIZE AND SHARE ANALYSIS - GROWTH TRENDS AND FORECASTS (2024-2031)

One of the key challenges faced by iron deficiency anemia treatment market is lack of awareness about the condition in many developing regions. This leads to underdiagnosis of the condition. The treatment options available are often prescribed incorrectly or consumed inconsistently due to poor compliance. The side effects of available treatments such as constipation and black stools discourage regular intake. Poverty is also a major roadblock for large segments to afford prescribed medicinal iron supplements or balanced diets essential to deal with this widespread deficiency.

Market Opportunities – Untapped emerging markets

Untapped emerging markets can provide tremendous opportunities for growth of global iron deficiency anemia treatment market. Regions like Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East and Africa offer a large patient pool suffering from iron deficiency anemia due to various social, economic and public health challenges. According to WHO, about 1.9 billion people are affected globally by anemia, majority of whom have iron deficiency anemia due to deficient intake of iron-rich foods and chronic blood loss. Countries with developing economies have a higher burden due to inadequate dietary intake and poor nutritional absorption. These emerging regions are expected to witness higher healthcare investments and reforms in coming years to strengthen their medical infrastructure and enhance access to diagnostic testing and treatment. Various programs by governments and non-profits are working to improve awareness regarding iron deficiency anemia, its symptoms and importance of proper treatment.
