Heparin Market size was expected to be worth USD 7,923.7 million in 2022 and is projected to grow at a 2.8% CAGR from 2023 to 2029. Heparin is a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan, also known as unfractionated heparin (UFH). It is used in medicine as an anticoagulant (blood thinner). It is especially beneficial in the treatment of heart attacks and unstable angina. It is injected into a vein or beneath the skin. Acute coronary syndrome, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and atrial fibrillation are all treated with it, as are cardiopulmonary bypass and hemofiltration during cardiac surgery. It also administers major orthopedic procedures like hip and knee replacements. Based on the product, the global heparin market is segmented into Unfractionated Heparin, Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH), and Ultra-low Molecular Weight Heparin (ULMWH). The Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH) segment is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR over the forecast years. Longer and more predictable operation than UFH, as well as easy self-administration at home via subcutaneous injection, which reduces or eliminates hospital stays and eliminates the need for daily blood monitoring, are all important factors driving the heparin market growth. Factors such as increasing advantages of low molecular weight heparin over unfractionated heparin and increasing introduction of biosimilar low molecular weight heparin anticoagulants globally are expected to drive the market growth.
