Anticoagulants Market Summary
The global anticoagulants market size was estimated at USD 37.35 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 55.72 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 5.26% from 2026 to 2033. The rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, such as Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), Pulmonary Embolism (PE), and Atrial Fibrillation (AF), is expected to drive demand for anticoagulants.
In recent years, a rise in venous thromboembolism (VTE) has been reported across various regions. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in the U.S., up to 900,000 individuals are affected by it each year. CDC also states that nearly 60,000-100,000 fatalities are caused by venous thromboembolism (VTE) every year. Health professionals prefer using anticoagulants to prevent thromboembolic events and complications such as strokes. These aspects are likely to generate significant growth in demand in the anticoagulants industry.
A sedentary lifestyle, increasing urbanization, changing dietary preferences, and a lack of physical activity have contributed to the growing number of individuals experiencing cardiovascular diseases. VTE is also linked with multiple other conditions, including cancer, complicated surgeries, pregnancy, and others. According to the CDC, VTE is one of the leading causes of preventable hospital deaths in the U.S. Such aspects are expected to result in continuous growth in the adoption of anticoagulants.
Recent advancements in healthcare technology related to anticoagulants are anticipated to assist the market in growing. For instance, in February 2024, Roche (F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd.) launched novel Factor Xa inhibitor coagulation tests designed to facilitate clinical decisions regarding the prescription of direct oral anticoagulants, primarily for stroke prevention. Furthermore, the increasing incidence of stroke is projected to propel the market growth during the forecast period. Blood thinners are used for stroke prevention in individuals at risk due to various conditions, such as atrial fibrillation, certain heart valve disorders, and previous strokes. As per the CDC, over 795,000 individuals in the U.S. experience stroke every year, out of which approximately 610,000 are first-time or new strokes.
