Heparin is obtained naturally from the mucous membranes of slaughtered meat animals, such as pig intestines or cow lungs, or it is produced synthetically. It is also known as unfractionated heparin (UFH) and is used as an anticoagulant in the treatment of acute coronary syndrome, atrial fibrillation (AF), venous thromboembolism (VTE), etc. Prevalence of atrial fibrillation in developed and developing economies and increasing research and development activities are expected to boost market growth during the forecast period. In addition, the major players in the market have also focused on evaluating the effectiveness of heparin alternatives in treatment, which in turn should also influence the growth of the market. Heparin, also known as unfractionated heparin (UFH), is a drug and a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan. Heparin acts as an anticoagulant and is used in conditions such as acute coronary syndrome, atrial fibrillation (AF), venous thromboembolism (VTE), cardiopulmonary bypass, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for extracorporeal life support, hemofiltration and intubation. central or peripheral venous catheters.
Market Dynamics
Increasing research and development in heparin created impact on Europe Heparin Market. On May 17 2021, European pharmaceutical Review, published an article explaining Novel spectroscopy technique could improve safety and quality of heparin. Researchers have developed an analytical method that is 100 times more sensitive to detect contaminants in heparin, but is also faster and requires less material to be analyzed. The drug can use technology to improve the quality and safety of heparin, according to the developers at the University of Nottingham's Schools of Pharmacy and Medicine in the U.K.
