COVID-19 IMPACT

 Human Rho(D) Immune Globulin Industry Had a Negative Effect Due to disruptions in healthcare services and plasma collection activities during COVID-19 Pandemic

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

COVID-19 impacting the Human Rho(D) Immune Globulin Market was particularly on the delivery of healthcare services and plasma collection. As a consequence of hospitals focusing more on the treatment of patients with COVID-19, all the routine medical services were put on hold, such as prenatal care and treatments for Rh incompatibility. Furthermore, the plasma donation center closures and distributional problems created a temporary shortage of plasma-derived products that also included the injections of Rho(D) immune globulin. The priorities of the health sector changed as a result of the pandemic and thus the emphasis on non-emergency treatments reduced that consequently reduced market demand. The market was however restored by resumption of the health care activities, hence demand for critical immunotherapy treatment in maternal care and transfusion medicine.

MARKET DYNAMICS

Market dynamics include driving and restraining factors, opportunities and challenges stating the market conditions.                  

Driving Factors

"Growing Prevalence of Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn (HDN) to Grow the Market"

One of the significant factors driving the Human Rho(D) Immune Globulin market growth is the growing incidence of Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn. HDN is a condition in which an Rh-negative mother carries an Rh-positive fetus, and the mother's body produces antibodies that attack the red blood cells of the fetus, resulting in severe anemia, jaundice, or even stillbirth. Rho(D) immune globulin is administered to the mother at times during pregnancy and after delivery. With greater awareness for HDN prevention, prenatal screening is much advanced. At present, women get early treatment when such situations arise; therefore, the demand for Rho(D) immune globulin also increases. On the growth side is a growing interest in developing quality maternal care in the developing countries, especially in the Asia-Pacific region and Africa, where the governments and health organizations are taking measures to prevent complications that arise from HDN.

"Growing Focus on Maternal and Neonatal Health Programs to Expand the Market"

The most significant growth driver for the Human Rho(D) Immune Globulin market is the rising concern regarding the well-being of mothers and children by providing them with quality healthcare facilities. All the countries now are trying to introduce their own health policies for controlling maternal and neonatal deaths. For example, routine antenatal care, immunization, and postpartum care that involve the use of Rho(D) immune globulin are covered under health policies for mothers who are Rh-negative. There are also private providers of healthcare looking for better maternity services in serving the growing demands of comprehensive care in prenatal and postnatal cases. The other fact is that the prefilled syringes for Rho(D) immune globulin are now readily available and are more accessible for application in outpatient clinics, pharmacies, and some regions. As more healthcare improves, and awareness extends, especially within regions with more births, then the use of Rho(D) immune globulin will be adopted much more.

Restraining Factor

"High Cost of Rho(D) Immune Globulin Products to Potentially Impede Market Growth"

A primary growth restraint for the market is high-priced Human Rho(D) Immune Globulin products. High production costs associated with the complex processes of plasma collection, purification, and strict regulatory compliance raise the price of Rho(D) immune globulin products. As a result, these products will be too expensive for low-income country healthcare systems and for many patients without appropriate health insurance coverage. Further, the need for cold chain logistics in order to maintain the stability of products increases the cost of distribution.
