Human Leukocyte Antigen Testing Market Global Report 2021, 28

The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) testing market is projected to reach US$ 1,155.65 million by 2028 from US$ 697.74 million in 2021; it is expected to register a CAGR of 7.5% from 2022 to 2028.   

Human leukocyte antigens play an essential part in the body's immune response to external substances. The principal use for HLA testing is to match organ and tissue transplant recipients with compatible donors. The HLA testing also involves screening transplant recipients for the presence of antibodies that might target the donated tissue or organ as part of an immune response.    

The report offers insights and in-depth analysis of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) testing market emphasizing market trends, technological advancements, and market dynamics, among others. It also provides the competitive landscape analysis of the globally leading market players. Furthermore, it includes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the market across all the major regions. The COVID-19 pandemic created both a public health crisis and an economic crisis worldwide. Before the pandemic, the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) testing market was growing continuously owing to the regularity in the assessment of organ donors, consolations, and treatments. The first wave of COVID-19 disrupted the consultations, follow-ups, and screenings related to diseases other than COVID-19. Several companies experienced severe losses in the last quarter of 2019; the pandemic particularly had adverse effects on the global market in the first and second quarters of 2020. Businesses worldwide were hampered due to disruption in supply chains, and increased demand for healthcare products and services. To reduce COVID-19 infection in hospitals and clinics, healthcare practitioners and patients adopted and preferred treating their patients remotely. These unforeseeable circumstances also hampered organ transplantation procedures. Many surgical treatments and non-urgent consultations were canceled or postponed, and elective surgeries were suspended in many institutions to limit the spread of SARS-CoV-2 as well as to reserve and reallocate resources, including healthcare personnel (nurses and anesthesiologists), medical equipment (personal protective equipment and ventilators), and beds. The "stay at home" recommendation resulted in a significant reduction in organ donation and organ transplantation surgeries. These conditions restrained the growth of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) testing market worldwide in 2020.

Increasing Number of Plasma Donation and Organ Transplantation Procedures Drive Market Growth

Human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) are the specialized proteins present on all cell surfaces of the human body, except red blood cells. HLA testing has significant application in organ transplantation, which can be recommended as a part of the treatment of kidney failure, chronic liver cirrhosis, and chronic heart disease, among other medical issues. The growing prevalence of chronic diseases and organ failure leads to high demand for organ transplant procedures, as well as HLA testing. Before transplantation, HLA testing is performed to check tissue compatibility between patients and donors to avoid graft rejection. In recent years, transplantation has become a successful practice worldwide. According to data published in Global Observatory on Donation and Transplantation (GODT), in 2020, 129,681 organ transplants were recorded in total. Of these, 31.7% were living kidney transplants and 20.40% were living liver transplants.

Governments of various countries are taking initiatives to spread awareness about the need for organ donation and the benefits of organ transplantation in certain treatment procedures. For Instance, the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) has implemented a few strategies to improve the number of organ transplantation procedures in the US. These strategies focus on increasing the number of organ and tissue transplants among patients with end-stage organ disease, altering the current organ distribution, and modifying organ transplantation waitlist by redistributing the existing organ soppy. Furthermore, the OPTN has used out-of-box strategies to improve organ transplantation. These innovative strategies include the optimized use of organs obtained from deceased patients [e.g., donation after cardiac death (DCD) or brain-dead donors], reducing discards of organs, promoting living donation, and improving the rate of potential organ donation authorization. 

Thus, the growing demand for organ transplantation leads to the requirement of a more substantial number of HLA testing kits and consumables, which drives the growth of the HLA testing market.
