Blood Transfusion Diagnostics Market Forecasts to 2030 – Global Analysis By Product (Hemoglobinometers, Instruments, Plasma, Reagents & kits and Other Products), Application (Disease Screening, Blood Grouping and Other Applications), End User (Diagnostic Laboratories, Hospitals and Other End Users) and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Blood Transfusion Diagnostics Market is accounted for $4.8 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $8.5 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period. This market serves a critical role in ensuring the safety and efficacy of blood transfusions by detecting infectious diseases, identifying blood groups, and assessing compatibility between donors and recipients. These diagnostics help identify potential pathogens such as HIV, hepatitis B and C, and syphilis, reducing the risk of transfusion-transmitted infections. Additionally, blood typing and crossmatching tests ensure compatibility between donor and recipient blood, minimizing the likelihood of adverse reactions during transfusions.
According to an article published by Medscape on March 2022, it was reported that the prevalence of Hemophilia A is 20.6 cases per 100,000 males in the United States. According to an article published by the Canadian Hemophilia Society (CHS) in February 2022, it was reported that the total number of Canadian suffering from Hemophilia A and B is estimated to be 3,100.
Market Dynamics:Driver:Rise in blood donor screening programs
With an increasing emphasis on public health and safety standards, blood donor screening programs have become more widespread, aiming to detect infectious diseases and other health conditions that could compromise the integrity of donated blood. These screening programs employ advanced diagnostic technologies such as nucleic acid testing (NAT), serological testing, and immunoassays to identify potential risks associated with donated blood, thus minimizing the chances of transfusion-transmitted infections.
Restraint:High cost of equipment and tests
Blood transfusion diagnostics rely heavily on specialized equipment and sophisticated tests to ensure the safety and compatibility of donated blood for transfusion. These tools, ranging from automated analyzers to reagents and consumables, incur substantial expenses in procurement and maintenance. The complexity of diagnostic procedures necessitates skilled personnel for operation and interpretation, further adding to the overall costs. However, for healthcare facilities, especially in resource-constrained settings or developing countries, the financial burden of investing in such equipment and conducting tests can be prohibitive, limiting their capacity to offer comprehensive blood transfusion services.
Opportunity:Increasing healthcare expenditure
As healthcare expenditure rises, there is a corresponding increase in the demand for advanced medical technologies and procedures, including blood transfusion diagnostics. This heightened expenditure allows healthcare facilities to invest in state-of-the-art equipment and diagnostic tools for ensuring the safety and efficacy of blood transfusions. Moreover, as healthcare budgets expand, there's greater focus on improving patient outcomes and reducing the risks associated with blood transfusions, such as transfusion-transmitted infections and adverse reactions.
Threat:Limited access to advanced technologies
Access to cutting-edge technologies such as nucleic acid amplification tests (NAT), next-generation sequencing (NGS), and automated blood screening systems is essential for accurate and efficient blood transfusion diagnostics. In many regions, especially in developing countries or remote areas, healthcare facilities may lack the infrastructure, resources, or trained personnel to adopt these advanced technologies. As a result, the ability to perform timely and precise blood screening and compatibility testing may be compromised, leading to potential risks such as transfusion-transmitted infections or incompatible blood transfusions.
Covid-19 ImpactThe demand for blood transfusions increased due to Covid-related complications, such as severe respiratory distress or other critical conditions requiring transfusion support. This surge in demand placed pressure on diagnostic services to ensure the safety and compatibility of blood products. On the other hand, pandemic-related restrictions, fear of infection, and disruptions in healthcare services led to reduced blood donations, affecting the blood supply chain. Consequently, blood transfusion diagnostic companies faced challenges in maintaining adequate inventory levels and ensuring timely testing for donated blood, thus intensifying the need for efficient diagnostic solutions and technologies to safeguard transfusion safety amidst the pandemic's uncertainties.
The hemoglobinometers segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
Hemoglobinometers segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period, as it provides quick and reliable assessments of hemoglobin concentration, aiding in the screening of blood donors and ensuring the safety and efficacy of transfusions. By enabling healthcare professionals to rapidly determine hemoglobin levels, hemoglobinometers streamline the blood donation process, reducing the risk of transfusion reactions and improving overall patient outcomes. Additionally, these devices are portable and user-friendly, making them accessible in a variety of healthcare settings, including remote or resource-limited areas.
The blood grouping segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Blood Grouping segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Accurate blood typing and crossmatching are critical to prevent adverse reactions during transfusions. With advancements in technology and techniques for blood grouping, such as the introduction of automated systems and molecular testing methods, healthcare facilities can efficiently determine blood types and screen for irregular antibodies. This has significantly reduced the risk of transfusion reactions and improved patient outcomes. Additionally, the increasing demand for blood products due to rising surgical procedures, trauma cases, and chronic diseases has further propelled the regional growth of the Blood Transfusion Diagnostics Market.
Region with largest share:Over the projected period, the North American area held the largest share due to rising disposable income, improved health infrastructure, rising health consciousness, and favorable reimbursement policies. The American Red Cross estimates that 16 million blood components are transfused annually in the United States. Additionally, this region's high rate of transfusion-transmitted infections and rising blood donation awareness are predicted to fuel market expansion.
Region with highest CAGR:Due to the rising number of patients with anemia which needs red blood cell transfusion for therapy, Asia Pacific is predicted to experience sustainable growth during the extended period, which is expected to drive up demand for blood transfusion diagnostics. Blood products and entire blood transfusions are in high demand in the area due to the rising prevalence of blood-related conditions such as hemophilia, cancer, thrombocytopenia, etc., and chronic kidney disease (CKD).
