Certain factors driving market growth are an increasing number of surgical procedures, increasing accidents and trauma cases, the rise in a number of blood disorders, and technological development.
The most commonly performed surgeries that require blood transfusion include cardiovascular procedures, C-section procedures, and trauma and accident injuries. As per estimates by the NIH, and National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, blood transfusions are very common in the United States, as each year, over 5 million Americans need blood transfusions. A majority of the surgeries performed are for cardiovascular interventions. Also, due to natural calamities and widespread causalities, the demand for blood transfusion is increasing across the globe.

The pathogen reduction system segment of the blood transfusion market is believed to witness a healthy growrh over the forecast period. The demand for pathogen reduction system is growing with the emergence of a cost-effective and innovative solution to inactivate or reduce the risk of infection. For example, the INTERCEPT Blood System from Cerus Corporation has significantly enhanced blood safety at more than 100 blood centers, worldwide.
It is used primarily for the treatment of leukostasis, caused by elevated white blood count in leukemia. It is also used in severe rheumatoid arthritis, to reduce the risk of antibody-mediated rejection of organ during, systemic lupus, Goodpasture syndrome, polymyositis or dermatomycosis, and preeclampsia and eclampsia in pregnancy.
North America currently dominates the market for blood transfusion devices and is expected to remain strong in the future due to an increasing number of trauma cases and surgical procedures, which are driving the demand for blood transfusion. The United States holds the majority of the market in North America. As per the estimates of the American National Red Cross, approximately 36,000 units of red blood cells are needed every day, and nearly 21 million blood components are transfused each year in the United States. This indicates the high demand for blood transfusion in the country. These statistics also indicate the high requirement for blood transfusion products. Thus, ensuring a consistent supply of these products is crucial to support the growing healthcare requirements in the region.
The blood transfusion market is moderately competitive and consists of several major players. However, with technological advancements and product innovation, mid-size to smaller companies are increasing their market presence by introducing new products with cost-effective pricing. Companies like Immucor Inc., Becton Dickinson, B. Braun, Terumo Corporation, and Grifols SA., hold a significant share in the blood transfusion market.
