The increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases, such as chronic kidney disease, cancer, inflammatory bowel diseases, diabetes, and acute and chronic infections, has been a major market driver facilitating a significant demand for intravenous iron drugs.

The rise in the incidence of chronic kidney disease globally, due to unhealthy lifestyles, has been a major growth factor for the market.

Furthermore, increasing approval and indication expansion of iron drugs in key markets has significantly supported market growth.
