Iron Deficiency Anemia Epidemiology Forecast

DelveInsight’s ‘Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA)- Epidemiology Forecast to 2030’ report delivers an in-depth understanding of the IDA across the several selected cancer types, historical and forecasted IDA epidemiology in the 7MM, i.e., the United States, EU5 (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom), and Japan.

Geography Covered

  • The United States
  • EU5 (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom)
  • Japan

Study Period: 2018–2030

IDA Understanding

Anemia is a condition that occurs when the quantity of red blood cells (RBCs) or hemoglobin concentration within them is lower than usual. Hemoglobin is required to transport oxygen, and if the patient has too few or malformed RBCs or not enough hemoglobin, the blood’s capacity to transport oxygen to the body’s tissues will be reduced.


Anemia is majorly characterized by a low number of RBCs and can cause weariness, shortness of breath, pallor, and weakness. RBC size, chronicity, and etiology are used to classify subtypes. Blood loss and decreased RBC production as observed in iron deficiency or increased RBC breakdown in hemolysis can all cause anemia. Iron deficiency has been estimated as the major cause of anemia.


The most common type of anemia is Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA), which happens when the body does not have enough iron. Iron is required to produce hemoglobin in the body. An insufficient amount of iron in the blood makes it difficult for oxygen to reach the entire body. Depending upon the amount of iron present, IDA can be classified into mild, moderate, and severe categories. Patients suffering from mild and moderate forms of the disease generally do not showcase any signs or symptoms. However, patients suffering from a severe form report symptoms like fatigue or tiredness, shortness of breath, or chest pain.


IDA is characterized by a lack of iron; this can be majorly due to low consumption of iron. Other causes of IDA include blood loss, the inability of the patient’s body to absorb iron, blood loss, any other comorbid condition, and others.


For IDA diagnosis, the doctor generally suggests a physical examination as well as recommends several blood tests. A complete blood count test is the preferred test to check the number of normal blood cells, iron, and the amount of ferritin present in the body.

Epidemiology Perspective by DelveInsight

The IDA epidemiology division provides the insights about historical and current indication wise eligible patient pool and forecasted trend for each seven major countries. It helps to recognize the causes of current and forecasted trends by exploring numerous studies and views of key opinion leaders. This part of the DelveInsight report also provides the diagnosed patient pool and their trends along with assumptions undertaken.


Key Findings

The disease epidemiology covered in the report provides historical as well as forecasted IDA epidemiology [segmented as Total prevalent cases of IDA, Total diagnosed prevalent cases of IDA, Total IDA cases by gender, Total IDA cases by pathology, Severity specific diagnosed cases of IDA, and Total Treated cases of IDA] scenario of IDA in the 7MM covering United States, EU5 countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and United Kingdom), and Japan from 2018 to 2030.

Country Wise- IDA Epidemiology

  • In 2020, the total prevalent cases of IDA were 30,829,734 in the 7MM. The United States, in the same year, accounted for 9,313,895 cases. According to DelveInsight's analysis, Japan had the highest prevalence of IDA cases in the 7MM, accounting for approximately 39% of the total 7MM cases in 2020.
  • IDA is often underdiagnosed and undertreated, as some people may not have any symptoms at first. In the EU-5 countries, the total diagnosed prevalent cases of IDA were 4,277,646 in 2020. Many programs have been launched in an attempt to minimize the prevalence of IDA in the Western world. Screening, health education, iron fortification of food, and increased usage of iron-rich baby formula are among them.
  • Females are more likely to be afflicted by IDA than men. In 2020, the total IDA cases in women health were estimated around 2,060,787 in the 7MM. Among all the pathology related cause of IDA, IDA in chronic kidney disease have the highest patient pool in 2020.
  • When a patient is diagnosed with IDA, an iron-rich diet and oral iron supplements can help treat the majority of mild-to-moderate IDA cases. In the 7MM, it is accessed that 9,266,923 cases received first-line oral therapies. Some of the patients who have received first-line oral treatments fail and move to second-line oral medications such as Feraccru (Accrufer) and Auryxia (Riona). Moreover, some proportion of patients who receive second-line oral treatments and who have severe IDA will proceed to IV iron therapy.
