Market Insights and Analyst View:

Vacuum tubes are utilized to draw a specific volume of blood. Blood specimens are collected in tubes with various additives such as EDTA, heparin, and serum for various types of tests. These additives are identified by the color of the cap. Key factors driving the vacuum blood collection tube market growth include the increasing number of surgeries and growing blood donation rate and blood tests. However, the risk associated with needlestick injuries hinders the market growth.

Growth Drivers and Restraints:

North America has witnessed an overall increase in the demand for surgical procedures in recent years. This can be attributed to factors such as advancements in medical technology, an aging population, and a greater emphasis on proactive healthcare management. With the rise in the prevalence of heart, liver, kidney, and other chronic diseases, the number of surgeries performed annually has also increased notably. According to the report “Chronic Kidney Disease in the United States, 2023” by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 14% of ~35.5 million people in the US suffer from chronic kidney disease (CKD). CKD has a higher prevalence in people aged 65 years or older (34%) than in people aged 45–64 years (12%) or 18–44 years (6%). Furthermore, the “Life and expectations post-kidney transplant: a qualitative analysis of patient responses” study published in 2019 reported that ~17,600 kidney transplants are performed each year in the US.

According to the American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR) on Knee and Hip Arthroplasty’s 7th annual report, ~2 million hip and knee procedures were performed between 2019 and 2020 in the US. Angioplasty and atherectomy are two of the most common procedures performed in the US. According to the most recent interventional cardiology procedural data, more than 965,000 angioplasties are performed in the US each year. An angioplasty, also known as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), is a procedure in which a stent is inserted into a blocked or constricted artery. The development of advanced surgical techniques and procedures has increased the range and complexity of surgeries performed. Minimally invasive procedures, robotic-assisted surgeries, and other innovative techniques have gained popularity due to their potential for faster recovery, reduced complications, and improved patient outcomes. These advancements require accurate and reliable diagnostic information, which, in turn, drives the demand for vacuum blood collection tubes to collect samples for pre-operative testing and post-operative monitoring.

Advances in anesthesia and blood management also play a crucial role in surgical procedures, and accurate pre-operative patient assessment and monitoring are essential for successful outcomes. Blood management, including appropriate interventions to prevent excessive bleeding or clotting, also contributes to surgical success and patient safety. Vacuum blood collection tubes are used for pre-operative blood tests to assess coagulation parameters, blood typing, and screening for infectious diseases, helping healthcare providers make informed decisions regarding anesthesia management and blood transfusions during surgeries.

An increase in organ transplant procedures performed across the US results in an upsurge of blood transfer procedures that need collection units such as bags and tubes. The American Cancer Society estimates that more than 1.9 million people are likely to be diagnosed with cancer in 2023. Many cancer patients need to undergo blood transfusion procedures as a part of the management of chemotherapy or radiation side effects or to make up for the blood lost during surgeries. According to the United Network for Organ Sharing, 42,887 organ transplants were performed in the US in 2022, recording an increase of 3.7% over 2021. The American Red Cross Blood Services reported that every two seconds, a need for blood arises for cancer therapies, surgeries, traumatic injuries, and other chronic illness treatments in the US. Thus, the rise in the number of surgeries and blood transfusions fuels the demand for vacuum blood collection tubes, boosting the North American vacuum blood collection tube market

However, there is a risk of percutaneous injury associated with a needle. According to the American Medical Association estimates, each year, ~600,000 to 800,000 needlestick injuries occur in the US. There are various risks associated with blood drawing, such as pain, bruising, infection, bleeding, fainting, and hematoma at the injection site. Several diseases are transmitted through these injuries, including hepatitis B, acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), and hepatitis C. As a result of accidental punctures, hazardous fluids can be injected into the body through the skin by contaminated needles. Injecting hazardous drugs is possible; however, the most significant concern is infection with infectious fluids, especially in the blood. Even small amounts of infectious fluid can spread diseases. Thus, these factors have also surfaced as a significant deterrent for the North American vacuum blood collection tube market.
