The anticoagulants industry share is segmented into heparin, factor Xa inhibitor, warfarin, and direct thrombin inhibitor drugs. Heparin is a drug primarily used to prevent blood clot formation among various patients. Cardiac surgeons prescribe this blood thinner to treat a variety of health conditions, such as deep vein thrombosis, acute coronary syndrome, atrial fibrillation, and pulmonary embolism, unstable angina, among others. Global anticoagulants market share value from the heparin segment had crossed USD 4 billion during 2021.
With respect to route of administration, the industry is divided into oral and injectable drugs. The global market share from the oral route segment was over USD 16 billion in 2021. Orally consumed drugs are one of the most common modes of administration. Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have better bioavailability and minimal drug interaction. They are not affected by external elements, such as food and alcohol. A rise in the prevalence of stroke and systemic embolism among atrial fibrillation patients will augment the demand for oral anticoagulant medications.
In terms of the applications, the atrial fibrillation/flutter management segment held more than 27% share of global anticoagulants market in 2021. The prevalence of AFib is increasing at a worrying rate. Public and private healthcare organizations worldwide are taking efforts to spread awareness regarding different heart conditions. According to the Stroke Association, U.K., more than 1 million people in the country are suffering from atrial fibrillation. Anticoagulants are being extensively used to treat this ailment.

The hospital pharmacy segment held over 53% share of anticoagulants market during 2021, with regards to distribution channel. Hospital pharmacies provide several benefits, such as easier availability of medicines. With advanced infrastructure and a greater number of medical professionals, a substantial portion of CVD patients visit hospital OPDs to avail treatment as well as drug prescriptions. As more patients prefer to get treatments at hospitals to benefit from high-quality care, anticoagulant sales across inhouse pharmacies will expand at a significant pace.
Europe anticoagulants market share is anticipated to exceed USD 13 billion by 2030. The pool of the elderly population is seeing a notable growth. According to the World Bank, Germany’s share of population aged 65 years and above stood at 21.98% in 2021. This factor has positively influenced the demand for anticoagulants. The demand for improvised and non-invasive treatments is rising among the regional geriatric population.
The region is also witnessing a healthy rise in new drug agreements between governments and healthcare organizations. For instance, in November 2021, the NHS England signed new agreements to scale up the production of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs). These contracts would benefit more than 610,000 patients in the country over the next 3 years.
Bristol-Myers Squibb, Bayer AG, Boehringer Ingelheim, Johnson and Johnson, Daiichi Sankyo Company, Amphastar Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Sanofi, Shenzhen Hepalink, Pfizer, Leo Pharma, Rovi, and United Therapeutics, are some of the leading drug companies in global anticoagulants market. These organizations are launching new products to enhance their competitive edge. For instance, in June 2021, Boehringer Ingelheim announced that its Pradaxa (dabigatran etexilate) oral tablets was granted the U.S. FDA’s approval to treat children aged between 3 months and 12 years old with venous thromboembolism (VTE). Similar strategies will enable the manufacturers to expand their global reach.
While there were supply chain disruptions due to lockdown policies in force, the COVID-19 pandemic seemed to have minimal impact on the global market growth. Evidently, a robust increase in venous thromboembolism (VTE) cases among COVID-19 patients was observed. The WHO, through its January 2021 report, declared that patients with COVID-19, both confirmed and suspected, must have access to follow-up care with low-dose anticoagulants. Such situations have spurred the consumption these drugs. Consistent rise in heart condition patients, however, will also lead to the introduction of more generic drugs, affecting the sale of products such as heparin from major producers to some extent.
