Intravenous Immunoglobulin Market - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast The global intravenous immunoglobulin market size is expected to expand at a significant CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the growing elderly population, rising prevalence of immunodeficiency disorders, increased acceptance of IVIG therapies, and increased usage of off-label indications.

Intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) is an antibody-based substance that is administered intravenously through a vein. Antibodies are proteins produced by your body to aid in the fight against infection. Because it fits like a lock and key to every foreign object (such as a bit of a virus or bacteria) that gets into your body, each antibody produced by your body is somewhat different. As you are exposed to various pathogenic organisms that your body perceives to be alien, your body produces hundreds of different antibodies over the course of your life. IVIG is generally utilized in two scenarios. If your body does not produce enough antibodies, you may require IVIG. "Humoral immunodeficiency" is the term for this condition. IVIG just adds more antibodies to your system that your body cannot produce on its own. Antibodies assist your body fight off a wide range of illnesses and generally endure for several weeks to months. If you are receiving IVIG for this reason, you must do so on a regular basis. Another reason you could require IVIG is if your immune system has begun fighting your own body by generating antibodies against your own cells. Destruction of your own blood platelets, known as immune thrombocytopenia, and destruction of your own red blood cells, known as autoimmune hemolytic anemia, are examples of conditions where this occurs. Experts think IVIG stops your immune system from killing your own cells in certain illnesses, such as nerves that regulate your breathing (in GuillainBarré syndrome) or nerves that govern feeling (for example, in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy). IVIG is injected into a vein (intravenously) over the course of one to four hours. The amount of IVIG you require for each dosage is determined by your weight and the reason you are receiving IVIG.
