Global Dextrose Injection Market, By Product Type (5% Dextrose Injection, 10% Dextrose Injection, 50% Dextrose Injection, 70% Dextrose Injection, and Others), By Application (First-aid Treatment, Sports, Trophotherapy, and Others), By Distribution Channel (Hospital Pharmacies, Retail Pharmacies, and Online Pharmacies), and By Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa), is estimated to be valued at US$ 9,512.7 million in 2020 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.7% over the forecast period (2020-2027), as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Increasing research and development activities for the development of novel application of dextrose injection is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period.
For instance, according to the article published in the journal of American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation in October 2019, therapeutic injection of dextrose is applicable in prolotherapy, perineural injection therapy, and hydrodissection. Prolotherapy includes injection of hypertonic dextrose to treat chronic musculoskeletal pain.
Perineural injection treatment (PIT) with dextrose include the injection of dextrose adjacent to peripheral nerves to reduce neuropathic pain. In that procedure isotonic dextrose solution (5% dextrose in water; D5W) is most commonly used. Furthermore, hydrodissection with dextrose is injected adjacent to peripheral nerves with continuous ultrasound guidance to release peripheral nerves from their encasing fascia in order to provide a decompressive effect.
Global Dextrose Injection Market – Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the global economy and in turn, the dextrose injection market. Quarantine, traveling constraints, and social distancing measures are likely to lead to a steep decline in business and consumer spending until the end of the second quarter of 2020. Moreover, dextrose injection solution is used in hospitalized patients for nutrition support, to treat low blood sugar, and to decrease high potassium levels in the blood. Due to increasing patient population suffering from COVID-19 and increasing hospital admission of patients are expected to increase demand for dextrose injection as a supplemental therapy for patient recovery.
