Segmentation - Heparin Market

Heparin is an anticoagulant used to decrease the clotting ability of blood and help to prevent harmful clots from forming in blood vessels. It is sometimes referred as a blood thinner, although it does not actually thin the blood. Heparin does not dissolve already formed blood clots, but it can prevent the clots from becoming larger and causing more serious problems. Pharmaceutical-grade heparin is derived from animal tissue. Heparin is commonly used in the treatment of coronary heart disease, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, and atrial fibrillation, and in the prevention of thrombosis during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and cardiopulmonary bypass.

Market Dynamics

Rising cases of conditions such as coronary heart disease, pulmonary embolism, and deep vein thrombosis is one of the major factors for increased demand of heparin drugs in the market. Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the major complications of coronary heart disease. According to the American Heart Association 2018 report, coronary heart disease is the leading cause (43.8%) of deaths due to cardiovascular disease in the U.S., followed by stroke (16.8%). As per the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 2015 report, deep vein thrombosis affects nearly 900,000 individuals in the U.S. each year.

Despite major applications in chronic conditions, heparin is poorly absorbed by the intestine, therefore it must be given intravenously or subcutaneously. Moreover, the drug creates a significant risk of excessive bleeding due to anticlotting effect. Heparin also induce conditions such as thrombocytopenia (reduced number of circulating platelets) and hypersensitivity reactions. These factors can hamper the heparin market, during the forecast period.
