Commenting on the report, an analyst said: “The anti-inflammatory activity of heparin is a recent discovery. Heparin exhibits this trait through the neutralization of cationic mediators, inhibition of adhesion molecules, and the inhibition of heparanase, all of which are involved in leukocyte recruitment into tissues. Further studies are being conducted to exploit the use of heparin as an anti-inflammatory agent.”

According to the report, the growing prevalence of diseases is one of the key drivers of the market. Diseases such as coronary heart disease, kidney disorders, stroke, and inflammatory conditions are a result of blood clots, leading to a rise in the demand for heparin drugs.
