Apheresis Equipment Market Size and Forecasts (2021 - 2031), Global and Regional Share, Trends, and Growth Opportunity Analysis

The global apheresis equipment market is expected to grow from US$ 2,294.11 million in 2021 to US$ 3,854.77 million in 2031; it is estimated to grow with a CAGR of 8.0% from 2022 to 2031.

Apheresis is a process in which blood is temporarily removed from the donor’s body and separated into various components such as plasma, platelets, red blood cells, and white blood cells by centrifugation or membrane separation process, depending on the components to be separated. Apheresis removes the impurities and abnormal components in the blood; hence, it is preferred for curing or controlling diseases. The apheresis equipment market is attributed to increasing number of voluntary blood donors, rising incidence of hematologic diseases, and growing geriatric population. However, the factors such as high cost of apheresis equipment and complications associated with apheresis procedure are hampering the market growth. However, the rising usage of the apheresis technique in emerging economies is likely to provide a lucrative opportunity for the market growth.

The apheresis equipment market is segmented on the basis of product, technology, procedure, therapeutic area, end user, and geography. The report offers insights and in-depth analysis of the apheresis equipment market, emphasizing various parameters such as market trends, technological advancements, and market dynamics, as well as the competitive landscape analysis of leading market players.

Rising Number of Voluntary Blood Donors to Bolster Apheresis Equipment Market in Coming Years

Blood transfusion helps to save and improve the lives of people. Various medical advancements improved the treatment of serious illnesses and injuries and have increased the need for blood transfusion for patients’ survival and maintenance of the patients’ health. The awareness about the importance of blood transfusion in healthcare has increased among the population across the globe, which has led to a rise in the number of people willing to donate their blood for medical purposes. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that 117.4 million blood donations were collected worldwide in 2021. Moreover, the blood donors are usually categorized into voluntary unpaid, paid, and family/replacement. The WHO estimates stated that a reliable and adequate supply of blood was collected from voluntary/unpaid donors.

The trend of blood donors is also significantly visible among low- and middle-income countries. For instance, there has been an increase of 11.6 million blood donations of voluntary unpaid donors from 2008 to 2015 among 139 countries across the globe, as per the World Health Organization 2021. According to the data from CAG annual meeting in 2017, approximately 13,000 procedures were performed on 1,087 patients in 2016. The highest surge in the number of voluntary blood donors has been found across South-East Asian countries and the US, i.e., 83% and 70%, respectively.

In addition, government-based national blood transfusion programs that are developed and employed in most countries across the globe are likely to increase the number of platelet and blood donors. For instance, in India, the National Blood Transfusion Council (NBTC) was constituted within National AIDS Control Organization (NACO); similarly, State Blood Transfusion Councils (SBTCs) were established within State AIDS Control Societies (SACS). Thus, the rising number of eligible donors across the globe is expected to fuel the need for apheresis equipment that is majorly used to separate the components of the blood required for various medical needs.
