"Designing Growth Strategies is in our DNA"
The global immunoglobulin market size was valued at USD 15.05 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow from USD 16.24 billion in 2023 to USD 29.57 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.9% during the forecast period.
Increasing prevalence of primary and secondary immunodeficiency and others is increasing demand for available treatment options globally. Along with this, amplification of anti-inflammatory properties and immunomodulatory properties of immunoglobulins has also surged the adoption of these blood products for disorders such as primary immune deficiencies, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, myasthenia gravis, and others.
Apart from this, increasing number of patients suffering from auto-immune disorders such as Guillain-Barré Syndrome and IVIG and clinical efficiency of immunoglobulin for the treatment of these conditions lead to increased demand for these products. Thus, the rising prevalence of key disorders along with advancement in treatment options with this product is resulting in an increased demand and adoption rate of the product and alternatively assisting in the immunoglobulin market growth.
The COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected the market growth during the forecast period. Stringent lockdown scenarios along with strict restrictions resulted in the decrease in plasma collection around the globe. This is leading to a shortage of plasma for plasma fractionation.
As a result, the key players were facing difficulties while collecting plasma for plasma fractionation. Hence, the patients were having difficulties accessing plasma products, including immunoglobulin due to a significant shortage. This led to decreased adoption and hindered the growth of the market.
Along with this, reduced inpatient visits and postponement of elective procedures by the governments of many countries significantly decreased hospital admissions for immunology-related disorders. This also led to decreased demand and adoption of these treatment options and hindered market growth during the pandemic.
However, resumption of postponed treatment procedures and ease in lockdown restrictions increased the volume of plasma collection significantly during the post-pandemic. This resulted in an increased supply of plasma products and fueled the growth during the post-pandemic period.

Shifting Consumer Preference toward Subcutaneous Products to Foster the Growth
The most preferred route of administration is the intravenous route. However, due to a number of limitations such as higher cost, requirement of trained professionals, risk of systemic infection, and requirement of extended duration of observation post-injection are limiting the adoption rate of intravenous dosage formulas.
On the other hand, certain benefits such as better patient compliance, less painful processes, and a large number of injection sites for multiple doses are improving the patient’s preference toward the subcutaneous route of injection.
Along with this, rising number of launches by major players and ongoing research and development activities are fueling the adoption rate of Subcutaneous Immunoglobulin (SCIG) during the study period.
The global prevalence of a number of immunodeficiency disorders, including leukemia, hepatitis, multiple myeloma, and others is increasing the demand for treatment options such as immunoglobulin.
Apart from this, according to a number of research articles, it was reported that the geriatric population is more prone to auto-immune disorders. Therefore, the rising geriatric population is resulting in a large patient pool suffering from this disorder, thus requiring treatment.
This, along with increasing investments by major players for introducing advanced therapy options and adopting a number of organic and inorganic growth strategies foster product adoption.
Henceforth, prevalence coupled with the introduction of advanced products by major players has been instrumental in the market growth during the study period.
Growing prevalence of immunological disorders along with the increasing number of drugs in the market for treatment is fueling the market growth. However, the high cost associated with this therapy is limiting its adoption significantly.
These high costs coupled with limited insurance coverage in South Africa is restricting the adoption rate of plasma products.
Thus, higher costs associated with inadequate reimbursement policies are expected to restrict the adoption of these products among the global population.
Higher Demand for Intravenous Products Led to Segmental Dominance
On the basis of route of administration, the market is segmented into intravenous and subcutaneous.
Comparatively higher demand for intravenous products for immunodeficiency disorders was responsible for the highest share in the intravenous segment. Additionally, certain distinct advantages, including rapid exposure and minimal volume constraints among others are some of the primary factors for the dominance of this segment over subcutaneous products.
On the other hand, the subcutaneous segment is expected to grow with the highest CAGR owing to several factors, including significant cost reduction, self-administration capabilities, and a comparatively lower risk of systemic infections.
