Over the last years, global demand for polyvalent Intravenous immune-globul<strong>in</strong> has<br />

ra<strong>is</strong>ed firmly and steadily.<br />

Whereas global demand for polyvalent IVIG amounted to ca 47 000 tons <strong>in</strong> 2000, it<br />

reached more than 82 000 tons <strong>in</strong> 2008.(ie an <strong>in</strong>crease by 75% <strong>in</strong> an eight-year period of<br />

time).<br />

In 2007, the share of the European Region <strong>in</strong> the global demand amounted to 25%,<br />

whereas the one of the North American Region reached 45%.<br />

In f<strong>in</strong>ancial terms, the demand of the European Region reached 762 million US dollars<br />

Indications have evolved over the last years. <strong>The</strong>refore, it <strong>is</strong> important to stress that<br />

these evolutions have had an impact (or even a major) on the demand of plasma<br />

products. It rema<strong>in</strong>s difficult to forecast evolution of consumption prec<strong>is</strong>ely, as different<br />

factors must be taken <strong>in</strong>to account: research progress and new evidence-based<br />

<strong>in</strong>dications, but also d<strong>is</strong>sem<strong>in</strong>ation of premature and non evidence-based practices or<br />

expert op<strong>in</strong>ions.<br />
