Key Drivers of Global Blood Screening and Typing Market

Increase in voluntary unpaid blood donors

• The global blood screening and typing market is driven by the increase in unpaid blood donations by people voluntarily. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) data published in 2019, the number of blood donations from voluntary unpaid donors increased globally by 11.6 million between 2008 and 2015. Moreover, as per WHO, approximately 78 countries collected over 90% of their blood supply from voluntary unpaid blood donors in the same period. Such instances are driving the global blood screening and typing market.

Government initiatives

• Government initiatives to encourage blood donation are augmenting the blood screening and typing market. For instance, the Government of Malaysia offers blood donors free outpatient treatment and hospitalization benefits after every donation. In Poland, after donating blood, a person is awarded an honorary title, along with a medal. In India, the government launched an initiative called E-RaktKosh in 2016, an online mechanism, which enables integration of all blood banks in a state into one network, giving access to information regarding blood camps and blood availability in hospitals throughout the country. Such factors are likely to drive the global blood screening and typing market.

Growing number of trauma cases necessitate blood transfusion

• There is a growing number of road accidents and trauma cases requiring blood transfusion. For instance, as per the WHO global data published in 2018, between 20 and 50 million individuals on an average suffered critical injuries as a result of road accidents annually. Injured individuals need blood transfusion, thus propelling the blood screening and typing market.

North America Dominates Global Blood Screening and Typing Market

• North America is a major market for blood screening and typing due to a large percentage of active voluntary blood donors in the U.S., early availability of advanced technologies, and large penetration of health care services across the region
• Blood screening and typing market in Asia Pacific is expected to grow at a high rate due to increasing awareness among individuals about blood donation, growing spending ability of patients, initiatives and funding by governments of various countries and associations in raising awareness, and developing interest of major companies in emerging countries such as China and India
