Heparin, denoted by the chemical formula C12H19NO20S3, is a sulfur-containing polysaccharide that acts as an anticoagulant or a blood thinner. It prevents the formation of blood clots inside blood vessels and is used for the treatment of heart conditions and unstable angina. It is also used in post-surgeries as well as during dialysis and blood transfusion. Heparin is usually injected directly into the muscle or the veins to break up clots and maintain smooth fluidity of the blood. Some common side-effects of using heparin include easy bruising and itchy skin with redness.

The rising prevalence of various medical ailments such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) is one of the key factors driving the global market. Also, heparin has been proven to be an extremely effective drug for venous thromboembolism and cardiovascular disorders (CVDs), which is contributing significantly to its market growth. Furthermore, biopharmaceutical companies are developing innovative medicines to enhance the therapeutic potential of heparin and reduce its side-effects. Availability of synthetic and semi-synthetic heparin mimetics that assist in treating various cancers, coagulation and inflammatory diseases is significantly increasing the adoption of the product. The market is further driven by the various advancements in the field of carbohydrate synthesis, which include building block preparation, coupling reactions and the development of convergent strategies. Moreover, increasing government funding toward improving healthcare facilities and extensive research and development (R&D) activities to develop heparin with ultra-low molecular weight for utilization in chemotherapy are also creating a positive outlook for the market.
