Medical and Lab Refrigerator Market Drivers and Opportunities

Growing Demand for Blood Storage Centers and Blood Banks to Favor Market

Blood donation awareness levels have increased by educating individuals about the benefits and misconceptions associated with the process, allowing them to become more open-minded and volunteer to donate blood, leading to growth in demand for blood storage centers and blood banks. Added to this, there has also been an increase in blood donations due to awareness initiatives by government organizations and private companies, as well as educational institutions. According to World Health Organization, around 118.54 million blood donations taken place globally in 2023, out of these 40% are from high income countries accounts for 16% of the global population. The collected blood is primarily used in surgical procedures, general medicine, hematology, and blood diseases, and for accident and emergency cases, driving the demand for blood bank refrigerators.

Increasing Research & Development Investments in Medical Science by Government Organizations – An Opportunity in Medical and Lab Refrigerator

Government support for developing innovative medical products will further accelerate the growth of the business. For example, the Medical Device Directive of the European Commission employed specific requirements and regulations for the biomedical freezers and refrigerators to protect blood and blood components from storage. Thus, contribute to the growth of the refrigerator market for medical and laboratory applications.

According to National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES), companies estimated US$ 84.1 billion increase from 2021 to 2022 in R&D expenditure. Additionally, in 2021, companies invested $130 billion in research, representing 22% of the total business investment for R&D which accounts for 49%​ of total U.S. research funding. In 2023, for example, the direct medical cost of just six chronic conditions – heart disease and stroke, cancer, diabetes, dental conditions, arthritis, and Alzheimer's disease – topped US$1.1 trillion, more than six times total medical and health R&D spending that year. This shows the growing need for investments in medical science. Nearly 130,000 people in the United States die at the age of 45 each year because of health threats, which through more significant investment in R&D can help to understand better and ultimately prevent. The growing investment in medical science provides opportunities for growth in the medical and laboratory refrigerator market in the coming years.
