Blood Collection Devices Market Analysis and Forecast to 2031: By Product (Blood Collection Tubes, Needles & Syringes, Others), Method (Manual Blood Collection, Automated Blood Collection), End User (Hospitals & Clinics, Diagnostic & Pathology Centers, Blood Banks, Others) and Region
The global blood collection devices market size was USD 5.9 billion in 2021 and it is anticipated to reach USD 10.8 billion in 2031, growing at a rate of 6.3% from 2022-2031.
Blood collection devices help in the safe withdrawal of blood. Blood is collected from donors to perform various diagnostic tests. Needles & rings, lancets, and other devices are used for arterial and venous blood collection. Arterial blood collection has certain advantages like arterial blood gas sampling and intraoperative blood salvage. However, the growing number of accidents & trauma cases, rising incidence of infectious disease, and the developing liquid biopsy technology have improved associated healthcare processes. However, the shortage of qualified personnel will impede the market growth. Moreover, the growth opportunities among emerging nations are likely to offer significant opportunities for the growth of the global blood collection devices market.
Blood Collection Devices Market Scope and Structure Analysis
Market Trends and Drivers
The major factor boosting the growth of the market is the increasing prevalence of infectious diseases with the emergence of newer pathogens and chronic & lifestyle diseases. The increasing prevalence of infectious diseases such as hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), malaria, syphilis, and brucellosis are a major factor driving the demand for effective blood collection (owing to the risk of disease transmission during blood transfusion). According to the WHO, (July 2021), there were an estimated 37.7 million [30.2–45.1 million] people living with HIV at the end of 2020, over two-thirds of whom (25.4 million) are in the WHO African Region. In 2020, 680,000 [480,000–1.0 million] people died from HIV-related causes, and 1.5 million [1.0–2.0 million] people acquired HIV. Adding to that, according to the WHO (July 2021), worldwide, there were an estimated 7 million new syphilis infections in 2020.
The burden of chronic diseases is rapidly increasing across the globe. Almost half of the total chronic disease deaths are attributable to cardiovascular disease (CVD). In the US alone, as per the American Heart Association, the prevalence of CVD is projected to increase from 36.9% in 2010 to 38.7% by 2020 and 40.5% by 2030. Obesity coupled with diabetes is also showing worrying trends because they already affect a large proportion of the population and because they have started to appear earlier in life. The prevalence of lifestyle diseases is also growing across the world, particularly in emerging countries.
This scenario has ensured greater adherence to health check-ups combined with the growing importance of markers to find disease conditions mainly via blood collection. Health check-ups are gaining popularity both at a personal level as well as performed at a corporate level for employee well-being. This will be favorable for the market growth and a significant contributor to the blood collection devices market, as blood tests are a primary approach to diagnosing these diseases.
Market Restraints & Challenges
One of the primary challenges in the growth of the global blood collection devices market is the high cost of automated blood collection devices. For blood banks, capital investments in automated blood collection using apheresis devices are very high in comparison to that of whole-blood collection. The average price for devices ranges between USD 45,000 and USD 55,000. So, smaller blood banks and hospitals do not opt for this type of blood collection. The cost of therapeutic apheresis is also very high, as it comprises the additional cost of disposables—between USD 1,500 and USD 3,000 per patient. Due to their high costs, the adoption of these automated blood collection products is very minimal as compared to manual blood collection products in countries such as China and India. This is limiting the overall growth of the blood collection devices market.
The cost of providing apheresis therapy is a matter of almost universal concern. Estimates of costs of individual apheresis treatments are very much available but vary widely. For example, in the US, the cost of an apheresis procedure is approximately USD 2,500 per treatment. An investment of USD 19,000 to USD 32,000 for a blood cell separator is the initial cost for setting up the machine, and disposable sets produced by manufacturers will vary between USD 40 and USD 90 per treatment. Replacement fluids (at an average volume of 2.8 liters), like albumin or fresh frozen plasma, make up the remainder of the costs, running from USD 125 to USD 600 per treatment.

COVID-19 Analysis
The COVID-19 outbreak is an unprecedented global public health challenge and is expected to have a significant impact on the blood collection devices market. Both hospital and independent laboratories are generally reviewing each test to decide whether to recommend consultations with laboratory hematologists for tests with a higher risk profile or not to offer tests that could not be performed safely. This affected the market negatively in the initial period of the pandemic, reducing the use of blood collection devices. Conversely, increasing caution and the rising testing volumes, along with the need for regular health and body check-ups will ensure market growth in a later phase.
Results now take an average of four to six days for the general population, much longer than the two to three days required before. This is because tests for hospital patients and symptomatic healthcare workers are prioritized and take one day on average, which has resulted in a delayed cycle. While it has affected market growth to some extent, the situation is expected to change for the better.
