Highlights

Infusion pumps with specialized applications will drive market growth. The improving reimbursement scenario for cost-effective and portable devices will ensure better adoption rates for alternate-site infusion systems. The market will also be driven by increased revenues from after-sales service and annual maintenance contracts.
The highly saturated US market will provide continued demand for disposable sets. The profit margins for large-volume pumps and syringe pumps will suffer a price erosion of 5% per year. Emerging markets such as India, China and Brazil will offer high growth opportunities for medium to low cost syringe pumps, ambulatory pumps, and enteral pumps.
Software glitches, confusing instructions and battery failures have been some of the major challenges affecting the uptake of infusion pumps. End users have responded to such challenges by forming multidisciplinary task forces to assess and analyze the root causes for infusion errors.
