Home Infusion

The Challenge

The infusion market is growing at an annual rate of 15 percent¹; in many cases, these medications are difficult to manage because of complex shipping requirements or specialized administration needs. Patients must make trips to infusion centers or inpatient facilities to get the treatment they need: approximately 75 percent² of infusions take place outside of the home.

The home infusion therapy market is expected to grow 64% in the next three years and reach $27B by 2020³

34-42% of new specialty drugs in the pipeline are infused⁴
