Lead poisoning treatment focuses on addressing and reducing the harmful effects of lead exposure in the body. The process involves identifying and removing the source of exposure to prevent further accumulation of lead. Medical treatments typically involve specific agents that bind to lead, aiding in its elimination through urine.
The primary types of lead poisoning treatment include chelation therapy, contemporary treatment methods, and supportive care. Chelation therapy is a medical procedure designed to remove heavy metals including lead from the body. It can be administered through various routes, such as oral, intravenous, and intramuscular, depending on the patient's category, including pediatric, adult, and geriatric. Key end-users of lead poisoning treatments include hospitals, clinics, and home care settings.

The lead poisoning treatment market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The lead poisoning treatment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.78 billion in 2024 to $6.09 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to several factors, including increased awareness of the risks associated with lead exposure, industrialization and urbanization, lead contamination in water supplies, the use of lead-based paints and gasoline, and government health initiatives aimed at mitigating lead exposure.
The lead poisoning treatment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.46 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as increasing global funding for lead exposure mitigation, heightened awareness of the health impacts of lead toxicity, stricter government regulations on lead usage, and the rising prevalence of lead exposure in developing countries. Key trends for the forecast period include the integration of crown ether-based silicon photonics for precise lead detection, the implementation of shock electrodialysis for efficient lead removal from water, the use of reverse osmosis and ion-exchange filtration technologies, the application of artificial intelligence-driven analytics for early detection and treatment planning, and advancements in portable blood lead analyzers for rapid diagnostics.
The rising prevalence of environmental contamination due to industrialization is expected to drive the growth of the lead poisoning treatment market. Environmental contamination involves the introduction of harmful substances or pollutants into natural resources such as air, water, and soil, which disrupt ecosystems and pose significant health risks. This contamination is increasing as industrialization accelerates, releasing more pollutants through manufacturing, waste disposal, and the use of harmful chemicals, often surpassing efforts to regulate and manage waste. Lead poisoning treatment becomes crucial in such environments, as continuous exposure to lead in soil, water, or air can cause toxic buildup in the body, leading to health complications that require medical intervention to remove the harmful substance and prevent further damage. For example, in January 2025, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reported that 66 million tons of pollution were released into the atmosphere in the United States in 2023. As a result, the growing environmental contamination driven by industrialization is fueling the demand for lead poisoning treatment.
Leading companies in the lead poisoning treatment market are focusing on advancements in chelation drug formulations to improve efficacy, bioavailability, and safety profiles. Chelation drug formulations are pharmaceutical preparations containing chelating agents that bind tightly to heavy metals, such as lead, in the bloodstream. For example, in August 2023, Rising Pharmaceuticals, a US-based pharmaceutical company, announced the approval and commercial launch of Edetate Calcium Disodium Injection in the United States. This prescription medication is used to lower blood lead levels and eliminate lead deposits in both acute and chronic cases of lead poisoning, including lead encephalopathy. It is effective for treating both children and adults with lead poisoning.
