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 />
