Markets for Blood Testing and Typing

The Market for Blood Testing and Typing

This Kalorama Information report, Blood Testing and Typing Post-Zika details sales estimates for each market segment represent global revenues and are expressed in current dollars. Estimates are provided for 2011 to 2016 and forecasts are provided through 2021 and 2026. Historical information was gathered from a wide variety of published sources including company reports, government documents, legal filings, trade journals, newspapers and business press, analysts’ reports and other sources. Interviews with company representatives were conducted to capture the perspectives from industry participants’ point of view and assess trends.

Excluded from this report are blood testing products used in biopharmaceutical processing/manufacturing/research, and veterinary tests. Also excluded are blood products for transfusion such as red blood cells (RBCs), immunoglobulin products, synthetic blood/albumin, etc. as well as blood testing services/laboratories.

The total global market for blood testing and typing products includes products and devices used in blood banking/donations as well as products used otherwise. This can also be thought of as testing and typing on pooled blood donations (blood bank) versus individual blood samples. In both of these segments, the following products are used:

  • Pathogen screening by immunoassay;
  • Pathogen screening by NAT;
  • Blood typing and grouping;
The global blood industry represents a diverse assortment of companies, groups and organizations that provide for the safe collection, testing, storage and delivery of human blood and blood products for transfusion. These blood transfusions are of critical importance to those with both acute and chronic medical conditions in which blood is depleted or non-functioning, since more than 9 million Americans and Europeans would die each year without transfusions.

The following sections provide highlights of the blood industry’s ongoing technological development and a background on the physiological aspects of human blood, which will form the basis for understanding the blood testing and typing industries profiled in detail in this report’s later chapters.This Kalorama Information report, Blood Testing and Typing Post-Zika details sales estimates for each market segment represent global revenues and are expressed in current dollars.
