Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Iron Chelation Drug market size was valued at US$ 444 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 431 million by 2031 with a CAGR of -0.4% during review period.

In a healthy body, when the stores of iron are sufficient, the intestines reduce the absorption of this mineral from food and drink to prevent its levels from rising too high. People with iron overload disorders absorb more iron than usual from food or supplements. The body cannot excrete the extra iron fast enough, so it continues to build up. The body stores it in organ tissue, mainly in the liver, as well as the heart and the pancreas. There are several types of iron overload disorder. Hereditary hemochromatosis is a primary condition that has a genetic component. People can also have secondary hemochromatosis, which develops as a result of another disease or condition. The rationale behind using Iron chelation therapy is removing the increased iron burden specifically labile cell iron (LCI) to minimize production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) thereby decreasing cellular and organ damage. Patients most likely to benefit from chelation therapy include those with low or intermediate-1 IPSS risk MDS who have a long-life expectancy and are anticipated to receive more than 20 red blood cell transfusions and/or whose serum ferritin level is >1000 μg/L. Chelation therapy efficacy can be monitored by monitoring trends and levels of serum ferritin.

An iron chelation drug is a type of medication used to remove excess iron from the body. These drugs bind to the excess iron, forming a soluble complex that can be excreted from the body, primarily used in conditions like hemochromatosis and iron overload in patients receiving chronic blood transfusions. Common iron chelators include deferoxamine (Desferal), deferasirox (Exjade), and deferiprone (Ferriprox).

Global Iron Chelation Drug key players include Novartis, Chiesi Group, Sun Pharma, Cipla, Natco Pharma, etc. Global top five manufacturers hold a Revenue Market Share over 35%. Europe accounts for the most Sales Market Share, which have a share over 40%, followed by North America. In terms of product, Deferasirox is the largest segment, with a Revenue Market Share over 90%. And in terms of application, the largest Application is Transfusional Iron Overload, followed by NTDT Caused Iron Overload.

The primary driver of the iron chelation drug market is the increasing prevalence of diseases that cause iron overload, such as thalassemia, sickle cell anemia, and other chronic conditions requiring frequent blood transfusions. As awareness of iron overload and its complications grows, there is a greater demand for effective iron chelation therapies. Additionally, advancements in drug formulation and delivery methods, such as oral chelators, have improved patient compliance and convenience, further driving market growth.

One of the main challenges in the iron chelation drug market is the potential side effects and toxicity associated with chelation therapy. Adverse effects, such as gastrointestinal issues, kidney impairment, and hearing loss, can limit the long-term use of these drugs and affect patient adherence. Furthermore, the high cost of iron chelation therapy, especially newer oral formulations, can be a significant barrier for patients and healthcare systems, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.
