Non-PVC IV bags are intravenous bags that do not contain polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and are used in healthcare settings to administer fluids, medications, and nutrients directly into a person's vein. These bags are commonly used in hospitals and emergency medical services due to their resistance to chemicals, heat, and UV light, which ensures the quality and stability of IV fluids.
The primary types of non-PVC IV bags are single-chamber and multi-chamber. Single-chamber non-PVC IV bags contain only one compartment and are made from materials other than PVC, such as ethylene vinyl acetate, polypropylene, copolyester ether, and others. They can contain both frozen and liquid mixtures for various applications, including chemotherapy, targeted drug delivery, glucose injection, sodium chloride solution, electrolyte injection, nutrient injection, and more. These bags are utilized by various end-user industries, including hospitals, clinics, emergency service centers, ambulatory surgical centers, and others.
Tariffs are influencing the non-PVC IV bags market by increasing costs of imported polymer resins, specialty films, sterilization materials, and automated filling equipment. Healthcare suppliers in North America and Europe are most affected due to dependence on imported raw materials, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressure on export-oriented IV bag manufacturing. These tariffs are increasing production costs and procurement prices for hospitals. However, they are also supporting local polymer sourcing, domestic IV bag manufacturing expansion, and innovation in cost-efficient and sustainable infusion packaging solutions.
The non-pvc iv bags market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides non-pvc iv bags market statistics, including non-pvc iv bags industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a non-pvc iv bags market share, detailed non-pvc iv bags market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the non-pvc iv bags industry. This non-pvc iv bags 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 non-pvc iv bags market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.28 billion in 2025 to $2.52 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing hospital admissions requiring IV therapy, rising use of infusion-based drug delivery, expansion of chemotherapy treatments, growing awareness of PVC-related health risks, increased use of sterile fluid delivery systems.
The non-pvc iv bags market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.8 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for sustainable medical consumables, rising adoption of preservative-free IV solutions, expansion of targeted drug delivery therapies, growing investments in advanced infusion packaging, increasing regulatory focus on material safety. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of pvc-free medical packaging, rising demand for multi-chamber iv bags, growing use of chemically stable polymer materials, expansion of ready-to-use iv solutions, enhanced focus on drug compatibility.
The increasing patient traffic within healthcare settings is expected to drive the growth of the non-PVC IV bags market in the future. Patient traffic refers to the volume of patients seeking medical care or services within a healthcare facility, such as a hospital, clinic, or doctor's office. There is a higher demand for healthcare services and changes in healthcare policies or insurance coverage. Non-PVC IV bags are needed for patients due to concerns about the potential leaching of harmful chemicals from PVC materials into intravenous fluids, minimizing the risk of patient exposure to toxins. For instance, in January 2024, a report published by the National Health Service (NHS), a UK-based publicly funded healthcare system, stated that 1.63 million patients initiated treatment, and over 2.3 million diagnostic tests were conducted in November 2023. This maintained significant pressure on emergency departments nationwide, with more than 2.1 million accident and emergency (A&E) visits and over 547,000 emergency admissions occurring in December 2023. Therefore, the increasing patient traffic within healthcare settings is driving the growth of the non-PVC IV bags market.
Major players in the non-PVC IV bags market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as polyolefin shrink films, to improve safety, sustainability, and compatibility with various IV solutions. Polyolefin shrink films are durable, flexible, and transparent packaging materials that are commonly used for secure, tamper-resistant wrapping in industries such as food, consumer goods, electronics, and pharmaceuticals. Their non-toxic properties and high puncture resistance make them suitable for a wide range of temperature conditions. For example, in February 2024, Innovia Films, a UK-based manufacturer of biaxially-oriented polypropylene film, introduced RayoFloat white APO. This floatable, low-density polyolefin shrink film is designed to protect light-sensitive products. Its key features include easy label detachment during PET recycling, which helps produce high-quality PET flakes for food-grade use. The film's opaque nature offers light-blocking benefits, making it ideal for products like dairy, nutritional, and cosmetics. Moreover, it supports sustainability with up to 20% post-industrial recycled content and complies with the EU's Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).
In November 2023, Prange Group, a Germany-based company focused on sales and marketing of pharmaceuticals, and Adragos Pharma, a Germany-based contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), acquired Fresenius Kabi's sterile pharmaceutical production site for an undisclosed amount. As a result of the acquisition, the company aims to expand its existing production network in Europe, North America, and Japan. Through this transaction, Fresenius Kabi will enter into a long-term supply agreement for products manufactured at the site. Fresenius Kabi is a Germany-based manufacturer of non-PVC IV bags.
