The U.S. unfractionated heparin market is expected to exhibit growth over the forecast period, owing to increasing prevalence of thromboembolic diseases. For instance, according to the Circulation Research Journal, a journal of the American Heart Association, in 2016, the study reported that the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) is higher as age increases in the U.S.
Moreover, favorable regulatory framework is also offering lucrative opportunity for growth of the market. For instance, in September 2019, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) directed that all forms of imported heparin are subjected to compliance testing, in order to reduce risk of complication such as heparin induced thrombocytopenia and deaths associated with imported heparin.
Key Takeaways of the U.S. Unfractionated Heparin Market:
