The most influential leaders in the infusion pump market are Baxter Healthcare Corporation, B. Braun Melsungen AG, and CareFusion Corporation. In fact, the leading infusion pump supplier, B. Braun Melsungen AG, has received many awards for their part in making great advances in the medical infusion world. And, according to Caroll H. Neubauer, Chairman and CEO of B. Braun Medical, "Despite the down economy, B. Braun grew 7.37% in the Parenteral category in 2008 while the overall market segment grew 7.45%, and 22.17% in the Solutions/Nutritional category in 2008, while the overall market segment grew 16.4%."

In general, market trends may be shifting due to "higher expectations from hospitals, specifically pertaining to wireless capabilities and interoperability with the hospital Clinical Information System," according to KLAS Enterprises. As KLAS says in its report on smart pumps, 29% of health care facilities report that integration with the hospital Electronic Medical Record (EMR) is the number one priority when considering the purchase of new infusion pump technologies.


The shift of focus on the market from new pumps to used pumps may delay new technological innovations for now, but a lot has to be done. Roger Strachota says, "IV pumps evolve and will be available forever due to hydration therapy. It is a mature market, and every health care facility will have one for every patient that shows up at the door." Because of this, it's not surprising that the success of business in this sector will continue to flow.
