Blood Collection Market Insights

Development and commercialization of advanced blood collection & separation products that are more specific and reliable are expected to propel the blood collection market growth. In addition, rising incidence of infectious and noninfectious diseases is likely to boost the market growth over the forecast period from 2016 to 2025. For instance, in the U.S., around 44,073 people were diagnosed with HIV infection in 2014. Thus, the growing prevalence of such communicable diseases is expected to increase the demand for blood collection products for diagnostic purposes.

The rising awareness about blood donation and escalating number of blood donors is further expected to propel the demand for blood collection products. According to the WHO, in 2013, 112.5 million blood donations were collected globally. The blood donation level is high in high-income countries like the U.S., UK, and Germany as compared to the middle and low-income countries. The government and nonprofit organizations are undertaking initiatives to increase the blood donation rate and to prevent prevalence of infectious diseases in developing regions like Asia and Africa.

Moreover, FDA inspects all the blood facilities such as blood banks at least every two years to protect patients from incompatible blood and blood products.

North America held the largest share in the target market in 2015. The U.S. was the major contributor in the revenue share due to its well-established healthcare infrastructure and high per capita healthcare expenditure. On the contrary, Asia Pacific is expected to grow at the fastest rate over the forecast period owing to supportive government initiatives to improve medical infrastructure and economic developments in this region.

As the blood collection market is growing significantly, several leading vendors have begun to focus on strategic acquisition, collaboration, & product advancements to sustain in the industry and gain a maximum revenue share.
