Elastomeric infusion pumps are non-electronic medication pumps also called as balloon pumps which are used for infusion of analgesics, chemotherapy drugs, local anesthetics, antibiotics and other type of medications. Elastomeric infusion pumps are single use medical devices used for drug infusion. The process of infusion is carried out with the help of consistent pressure created in the elastomeric layer present in the pump which is controlled with the help of flow restrictors located in the elastomeric reservoir.
Market Dynamics
Increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases like cancer is expected to propel growth of market. For instance, according to factsheet published by World Health Organization (WHO) on 3 February, 2022, nearly 10 million deaths, or nearly one in six deaths were caused by cancer in 2020, making it the leading cause of death globally. Breast, lung, colon, rectum, and prostate cancers are the most prevalent types of cancer. In addition, according to WHO, each year, approximately 400,000 children develop cancer. Thus due to prevalence of cancer the global elastomeric infusion pumps market is expected grow over the forecast period.
Moreover, elastomeric infusion pumps are cheaper and have fewer adverse effects compared to electronic pumps, which increases their adoption in ambulatory chemotherapy infusion centers. Moreover, as elastomeric infusion pumps do not require electricity to operate, the risk for free flow of medication to patients is eliminated. Such advantages of elastomeric infusion pumps over their electric counterparts is also expected to boost growth of market.
