The mircera market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• There's been impressive expansion in the Mircera market size in the previous years. A rise from $2,679.57 million in 2024 to $2,835.52 million in 2025 is expected, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%.
Various factors have driven this surge in the past, such as the increased occurrence of cancer particularly among older populations, heightened demand for long-term erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) for managing anemia, endorsements of Mircera by regulatory bodies in numerous areas, heightened access, raised awareness around available treatments for anemia associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cancer, and ongoing betterment in drug formulas to ensure patient compliance.
The mircera market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of mircera is predicted to experience substantial growth in the forthcoming years. It is projected to expand to $3,506.29 million by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%.
This growth during the forecast period can be credited to the expected surge in global cancer cases, especially in underdeveloped regions, continued escalation in healthcare spending, particularly in developing markets, heightened demand for groundbreaking anemia treatment options, increasing need for anemia treatments, and the implementation of Mircera in both hospital and outpatient environments. Key trends for the forecast period encompass growing demand for extended-release ESAs, advancements in technology, development of healthcare infrastructure, increasing usage in the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD), and a rising emphasis on patient-oriented drug delivery systems.
The mircera market is set to expand due to the growing number of chronic kidney disease (CKD) cases. CKD, which often coexists with diabetes and hypertension, is a health issue marked by the gradual deterioration of kidney functionality. Factors including aging populations, changes in lifestyles, and enhanced diagnostic techniques contribute to the escalating occurrence of CKD. Anemia, a frequent CKD complication resulting from reduced erythropoietin production, necessitates the use of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents like mircera for effective hemoglobin level management and stabilization. For example, a report issued by Kidney Research UK in June 2023 stated that currently 7.2 million people, or over 10% of the population, in the UK have CKD. Furthermore, by 2033, the number of people affected by CKD is expected to increase to 7.61 million. Hence, the surging prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) propels the mircera market.
The mircera market covered in this report is segmented –
1) By Formulation: Injectable Solution, Pre-filled Syringes
2) By Indication: Anemia Due to Chronic Kidney Disease, Anemia in Cancer Patients
3) By Distribution Channel: Hospitals, Dialysis Centers, Specialty Clinics, Retail Pharmacies
4) By End User Patients: Adult Patients, Geriatric Patients
The primary trend evident in the Mircera market revolves around the creation of approved solutions, specifically aimed at pediatric patients, for combating anemia related to chronic kidney disease. Mircera (methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta) is a long-term erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) may offer relief for pediatric patients dealing with anemia caused by chronic kidney disease (CKD), by promoting the formation of red blood cells. This lessens the demand for frequent injections, decreases the risk of blood transfusions, and bolsters hemoglobin levels, thus positively impacting growth, development, and quality of life. In the month of April 2024, the Switzerland-based pharmaceutical corporation Vifor Pharma obtained extended approval from the FDA for Mircera (methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta) usage in pediatric patients ranging from 3 months to 17 years of age who suffer from anemia due to chronic kidney disease (CKD). This go-ahead covers both patients undergoing dialysis and those who are not, specifically those switching from another erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) once their hemoglobin counts have normalized.
