Global Blood Gas and Electrolyte Analyzers Market -2023-2030

Overview

Blood gas analyzers aspirate blood from the syringe and measure pH and the partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide. The bicarbonate concentration is also calculated. These results are usually available for interpretation within five minutes.

An electrolyte analyzer is a specialized medical device designed to measure the concentration of electrolytes in a biological sample, typically blood or serum. Electrolytes are essential ions, including sodium (Na + ), potassium (K + ), chloride (Cl-), bicarbonate (HCO3-), and calcium (Ca2 + ), that play crucial roles in various physiological processes within the human body. The accurate measurement of these electrolyte levels is vital for diagnosing and managing a wide range of medical conditions.

Market Dynamics: Drivers and Restraints

Rise in technological advancements

A vital factor for patients in emergency and critical care settings is their rapidly changing physiological state, which can deteriorate quickly and necessitate immediate diagnosis and clinical decisions for improving patient outcomes. Point-of-care testing (POCT) is a significant advancement in critical care settings, designed to provide decentralized, patient-centred healthcare. Quick access to blood measurements, especially blood gases, and electrolytes, can lead to better clinical outcomes.

For instance, in June 2023, i-Check handheld blood gas electrolyte analyzer from B&E Biotechnology Co. Ltd. (Yantai, China) adopted microfluidic and electrochemical detection technology. Its single-use cartridge includes a plastic substrate, a multi-biosensor array, a calibrator pouch, a sample injection port, and a waste chamber. Notably, the multi-biosensor array is produced by silk-screen printing. The printing ink materials used comprise only carbon, silver, and insulation, without any noble metal, which significantly lowers the production cost compared to other manufacturers.

Furthermore, increasing healthcare expenditure for the treatment of chronic diseases, such as cancer and diabetes, is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period. This increase indicates a rise in the number of patients in critical care units and emergency departments, which has led to the growing need for blood gas and electrolyte analysis. Pertinent organizations and governments are constantly engaging in programs to reduce healthcare expenditure by encouraging patients to undergo regular diagnostic examinations.

Market Dynamics: Restraint

Since classical blood gas analysis requires an arterial blood sample, many challenges arise during sample collection. For example, special gas-tight syringes are used to avoid adulteration of the sample with outside air. Furthermore, the blood sample must be properly mixed immediately after collection, otherwise, sedimentation will occur, resulting in an inhomogeneous sample.

Also, some of the major restraining factors in the market include the lack of skilled professionals, the cost of the analyzer, reimbursement issues, and complicated regulations.

Segment Analysis

The global blood gas and electrolyte analyzers is segmented based on product type, modality, end-user and region.

The blood gas analyzers from the product type segment accounted for approximately 41.2% of the market share

The blood gas analyzers from the product type segment accounted for 41.2% and it is expected to be dominated during the forecast period. Blood gas analyzers are used to measure combinations of pH, blood gas (i.e. pCO2 and pO2), electrolytes, and metabolite parameters from whole blood samples. Blood conservation is an important initiative in every clinical diagnostic lab or critical care facility. Therefore, a highly accurate blood gas analyzer can streamline work processes and reduce errors with minimum maintenance.

For instance, in June 2022, Sysmex America Inc., a leading name in the diagnostics solutions marketplace, received FDA clearance for the addition of a new feature to its N-10 Automated Hematology Analyzer with Blood Bank mode. This is the first automated analyzer to be cleared for residual WBC counting.

Moreover, in April 2021, Siemens Healthiness launched the epoc blood analysis system, It is a handheld, wireless solution with complete blood gas, a basic metabolic panel, and hematocrit and lactate on a single room temperature-stable test card, delivering patient-side results in less than 1 minute. It aids in supporting COVID-19 response efforts, where blood gas testing plays a critical role in managing infected patients.

Geographical Analysis

North America accounted for approximately 38.4% of the market share in 2022

North America is estimated to hold about 38.4% of the total market share throughout the forecast period, owing to the large presence of domestic and international medical device companies from both the developed and emerging markets boost the demand and growth of analyzes in the country. The region is expected to witness high demand for products such as arterial blood gas machines, electrolyte analyzer machines, and blood oxygen analyzers.

For instance, in March 2020, Siemens Healthineers stated that it won FDA clearance for its RapidPoint 500e blood gas analyzer for diagnosing and monitoring people in the intensive care unit, operating room or emergency room.

RapidPoint 500e is designed to generate blood gas, electrolyte, metabolite, CO-oximetry and neonatal bilirubin results that are then used to diagnose and monitor critically ill patients. The analyzer can be used in COVID-19 response efforts, where blood gas testing helps in managing infected patients and monitoring their respiratory distress.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic positively impacted the blood gas and electrolyte analyzers market. As amid the pandemic several surgeries were postponed, and non-emergency hospitalizations were cancelled impacted the market moderately.

However, there was a rise in the hospitalization rate of people suffering from COVID-19. Surging cases of the COVID-19 pandemic have increased demand for blood gas and electrolyte analyzers in hospitals, clinics, point of care centers will positively influence the industry growth.

Competitive Landscape

The major global players in the blood gas and electrolyte analyzers market include: Abbott Point of Care Inc., Siemens Healthcare Private Limited, Cornley Hi-tech Co., LTD, Radiometer Medical ApS, Chengdu Seamaty Technology Co., Ltd, EDAN Instruments, Inc., ERBA Diagnostics Mannheim GmbH, F Hoffman La Roche Ltd, Medica Corporation, i-SENS, Inc and among others.
