Hospitals are the largest end‑user segment — they use IV fluids for surgery, emergency care, and inpatient treatment. But home healthcare is the fastest‑growing. The large volume parenteral market research study shows that home healthcare is growing at over 7% CAGR, driven by the shift to outpatient care and the rise of infusion centres.
What's happening at home? Patients receive IV antibiotics, hydration, and even chemotherapy at home. The large volume parenteral market trends highlight that the fastest‑growing application is nutritional solutions, as elderly patients with swallowing difficulties receive total parenteral nutrition (TPN) at home.
But home infusion requires training. Patients and caregivers must learn to hang bags, flush lines, and recognise signs of infection. That's why home health nurses play a key role.
The bottom line: home infusion is safe and effective for the right patients. If you're a candidate, it can improve your quality of life.
