Kalorama: Medtronic, Baxter, BD Lead Infusion Pump Market
NEW YORK, July 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Medtronic leads the $7 billion market for infusion pumps, according to Kalorama Information. The healthcare market research firm said that the largest company in medical devices leads the market, in this category as a result of its acquisition of device maker Covidien. Baxter, Becton Dickinson, B.Braun, Fresenius and Hospira retain competitive market share. Kalorama made its finding in its most recent report, The World Market for Infusion Pumps (Large Volume Pumps, Ambulatory Pumps, Insulin Pumps, Enteral Feeding Pumps, Others), which can be found at Kalorama Information: http://www.kaloramainformation.com/Infusion-Pumps-Large-10100502/.
Infusion pumps are used in a variety of applications and settings from fulfilling simple requirements such as delivering basic fluids for hydration to more complex ones such as infusing pain medications, antibiotics, or chemotherapy. They are complicated devices, and accuracy and consistency of delivery of medications and other fluids are essential due to the possibility of severe consequences. The global infusion pump market as a whole is highly competitive with the majority of competition in the ambulatory pump segment. Specialty infusion pump segments are more focused with a handful of leading competitors, specifically in the implantable segment the market is highly underserved and Medtronic is the leader without any significant competitive pressure.
