Anticoagulants Market Size, Share, Opportunities, And Trends By Drug Class (Vitamin K antagonists (coumarin anticoagulants), Low molecular weight heparins (LMWH), Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs), Others), By Application (Atrial Fibrillation, Heart Attacks, Deep Vein Thrombosis, Pulmonary Embolism, Others), By Distribution Channel (Hospital Pharmacy, Retail Pharmacy, Online), And By Geography - Forecasts From 2025 To 2030

Anticoagulants Market Size

The anticoagulants market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 11.61%, from US$41.171 billion in 2025 to US$71.312 billion in 2030.

The anticoagulant market is anticipated to propel at a decent CAGR throughout the forecast period due to a significant increase in the number of people with cardiovascular disease coupled with a growth in the number of cases of venous thromboembolism and arterial thrombosis. Anticoagulants are medicines used to prevent blood clots, especially for high-risk people. These medicines are taken by high-risk people who are more susceptible to clots to reduce the chances of them developing heart conditions of serious nature such as heart attacks and strokes.

Blood clots are blood seals that can block the blood vessels of the body and further stop the blood from reaching the crucial organs of the body if they are formed in the wrong place. These organs include the brain, lungs, and heart, among others. The clots can further damage the organ to function properly as they also stop the flow of oxygen to that particular organ. Diseases such as atrial fibrillation can also lead to the formation of blood clots which can lead to conditions such as heart failure, strokes, and other complications related to the heart. There is a significant increase in the prevalence of obesity around the globe which is also contributing the heart diseases related to blood clots.

Furthermore, the risk of clotting in older people is also high due to weaker immune systems and other organs. Thus, the rising proportion of the obese population along with a noteworthy increase in the global geriatric population are some of the key factors that are anticipated to drive the demand for these medicines in the coming years and propel the growth opportunities for the market to surge throughout the forecast period and beyond.

Additionally, these medicines are also given to patients during heart-related surgery for the prevention of clot formation. Therefore, the growing number of heart surgeries worldwide is also expected to augment the market growth for anti-coagulants in the next five years. The use of these medicines helps the patient by preventing the clotting process, which is increasing its adoption across the globe. These medicines are sometimes also referred to as blood thinners.

Anticoagulants Market Drivers:

• The rising prevalence of heart diseases is expected to accelerate the expansion of the anticoagulants market.

The growing number of people diagnosed with heart disease is the primary driver of the anti-coagulants market. The effects of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are very fatal. According to WHO, approximately 17.9 million people die every year due to these diseases, and this counts for approximately 31% of the entire annual deaths worldwide. Smoking, poor nutrition, and lack of physical activity are some of the causes that have increased the frequency of heart attacks and strokes. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease has been the major cause of death in the United States in which coronary heart disease is the most common type of heart disease. The rising obese population is one major cause of heart attacks. All these factors are driving the demand anticipated to propel the demand for these medicines across the globe as doctors are focusing on a combination of risk factors for these diseases, implementing medical screening for individuals at risk, and then providing effective treatment to prevent disability and death while improving quality of life.

Also, these medicines are suitable for patients who suffered a heart attack as these medicines lower the risks of another heart attack. Furthermore, a growing number of heart attacks propel the demand for these medicines. For instance, as per the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, every year, 725,000 people have a heart attack, out of which approximately 30% are those people who have already had a heart attack. Thereby positively impacting the anti-coagulant market growth during the forecast period and beyond.

• Deep Vein Thrombosis holds a notable share in the rolling stock market

Based on application, the global anticoagulants market has been segmented into atrial fibrillation, heart attacks, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and others. The deep vein thrombosis segment is anticipated to hold a significant share owing to its high incidence in developing countries. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the prevalence of deep vein thrombosis accounts for 2 per 1000 people each year in the United States.

Furthermore, the anti-coagulants market for atrial fibrillation is anticipated to show notable growth over the forecast period because this disease increases the risks of heart attacks, stroke, and heart failure due to the formation of blood clots. Also, the growing prevalence of this disease across the globe is a key factor expected to bolster the demand for anti-coagulants and thereby positively impact market growth in the coming years.

Anticoagulants Market Geographical Outlook:

• North America region to hold considerable shares of the anticoagulants market.

Geographically, the global anticoagulants market has been segmented into North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and the Asia Pacific. These regions have been further segmented into countries that hold a significant share in the market. North America is expected to hold a significantly large share of this market. The growth in this region is majorly attributed to state-of-the-art healthcare infrastructure, which is expected to continue improving as industry players continue to funnel considerable investments in this sector in these regions. The market in the Asia Pacific is being driven by supportive initiatives by some governments to make expensive healthcare services accessible for people of all income groups.

Anticoagulants Market Key Developments:

• February 2024- Roche announced the launch of three new Factor Xa inhibitor coagulation tests to alleviate increasing patient demand for direct oral anticoagulants that prevent stroke. Apart from being an addition to the WHO list of essential medicines, these tests use Roche's reagent cassette concept for high-quality results and efficient processing of samples.
• January 2024- Avenac a specialized pharmaceutical manufacturer, launched Bivalirudin for Injection in the United States as a therapeutic equivalent generic to Angiomax® for Injection, already approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The use of Bivalirudin as an anticoagulant is in adult patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, among which include those with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and also those with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis syndrome.
