Infusion Systems Market in Japan 2016-2020

Outlook of the infusion systems market in Japan

Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the infusion systems market in Japan to grow at a CAGR of around 7% during the forecast period. The rising prevalence of chronic diseases like cancer, CVDs, hormonal disorders, and inflammatory autoimmune diseases will aid in the growth of this market in Japan. Since infusion systems aid in the delivery of drugs and fluids, an increase in the incidence of chronic illnesses will necessitate the adoption of such systems during the predicted period.

One of the emerging trends in this market is the rising adoption of power-driven and closed infusion systems for the delivery of various medication fluids. Advances in product design and insertion of the catheter have resulted in the advent of closed infusion systems, which help to reduce the risk of cross-contamination in patients. These systems consist of different components that are pre-assembled by clinicians. This helps to reduce the risk of accidental contamination.

Product-based segmentation of the infusion systems market in Japan

• General purpose or volumetric pumps
• Syringe drivers
• Patient controlled analgesia pumps
• Ambulatory pumps

The general purpose and volumetric pumps segment will be the largest market segment during the forecast period. Since these systems are commonly used in hospitals and clinics for the efficient administration of medication fluids and nutrition to patients, their rate of adoption is envisaged to increase rapidly until the end of 2020.

Competitive landscape and key vendors

The infusion systems market in Japan is currently dominated by large vendors like Baxter and JMS. However, the analysts at Technavio have envisaged that the level of competition in this market will become intense by 2020 owing to the entry of numerous foreign players.
