The global large volume parenteral (LVP) market size reached USD 10.4 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 17.0 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.34% during 2025-2033.
A large volume parenteral (LVP) is a single-dose injection packaged in a glass bottle or a flexible container of more than 100ml capacity after sterilization via heat. It is injected through the skin or other external boundary tissue to directly administrate the active drug substances into the blood vessels, organs, tissues, or lesions. It generally consists of an active ingredient, water-miscible or non-aqueous vehicle, and added substances like buffers, antioxidants, preservatives, surfactants, antimicrobial agents, and tonicity adjusters. Some of the commonly available LVPs around the world are peritoneal dialysis, irrigating solutions, blood derivatives, drug premixes, and contrast agents.
The rising prevalence of malnutrition, growing natality rate, and increasing premature births worldwide are among the key factors catalyzing the demand for LVPs to administer a large amount of nutrients in patients who are unable to take food orally. Apart from this, they are widely used in administering essential nutrients to patients undergoing treatment for esophageal obstruction, gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, cancer, and ulcer. In addition, LVPs find extensive application in heart surgery to prevent ischemic injury to the myocardium during reperfusion and the blood flow supply restriction. This, in confluence with the escalating demand for safe, fast, and effective methods of drug administration among patients undergoing surgical interventions, is contributing to the market growth. Besides this, the growing consumption of fast food across the globe has resulted in rising instances of non-communicable diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and other metabolic disorders. This, in turn, is positively influencing the adoption of LVPs that are a mixture of dextrose, amino acids, lipids, added electrolytes, trace metals, and vitamins.
