Subcutaneous Immunoglobulin (IgSC) Market
Fragmented - Highly competitive market without dominant players
The market for subcutaneous immunoglobulin is poised for rapid expansion, driven by the growing adoption of both organic and inorganic strategies by various industry participants. In January 2022, Octapharma announced an expanded indication for Cutaquig, a subcutaneously administered human therapy, within the European Union. This expanded indication provides more flexible treatment options for a broader range of patients with acquired deficiencies.
The subcutaneous immunoglobulin market faced significant challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Global plasma collection saw a notable decline because of stringent lockdown measures and difficult circumstances, leading to an accumulation of plasma and delays in plasma fractionation. The most significant decline in transfusion occurred in the surgery department, particularly affecting fresh frozen plasma. This made it difficult for major players to collect plasma for fractionation, resulting in a severe shortage of plasma products, including subcutaneous immunoglobulin, which hindered patient access and impeded market growth.
Additionally, the rising incidence of immunodeficiency disorders can be linked to sedentary lifestyles, characterized by excessive consumption of sugars, saturated fats, high alcohol intake, and reduced physical activity. These factors have contributed to an increase in lifestyle-related disorders, including obesity.
