Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to over 100 countries across the globe and the World Health Organization had declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.

The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 has bought the world to a standstill. The demand for IV solutions has increased due to the fast spread of coronavirus illness (COVID-19), which will allow patients in intensive care units to receive vital nutrients (ICU). In addition to this, a significant growth-inducing element is the rise in diabetes, cancer, gastrointestinal problems, and neurological illnesses. Additionally, IV solution therapy's superior efficacy and quicker response time are fostering market expansion. It is employed to treat chronic dehydration, a disease that can lead to weariness, memory loss, irritability, and other health issues. For instance, in February 2022, the World Health Organization published a report which stated that nearly 10 million deaths in 2020, or nearly one in six deaths globally due to cancer. Cancer-causing infections, such as human papillomavirus (HPV) and hepatitis, are responsible for approximately 30% of cancer cases in low- and lower-middle-income countries like India and Bangladesh.

Thus, impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has driven growth of the global intravenous solutions market during the forecast period.
