Blood Processing and Storage Equipment Market Size - By Product (Device [Plasma Freezer, Hematocrit Centrifuge, Warmer] Consumable (Blood Lancet, Filter, Administration Set), End-use – Global Forecast, 2023-2032

Blood Processing and Storage Equipment Market Size

Blood Processing and Storage Equipment Market size was valued at USD 44 billion in 2022 and is estimated to account for USD 87.6 billion by 2032. Blood processing and storage equipment are crucial components of healthcare systems and blood banks.

These devices ensure that donated blood is properly processed, stored, and transported to patients in need. The demand for early disease diagnosis has been increasing globally due to several factors, including advances in medical technology, rising awareness, and the growing burden of chronic diseases. Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. As per statistics, in 2023, nearly 1,958,310 new cancer cases are anticipated to occur in the U.S.

The number of road traffic accidents worldwide is rising, which is accelerating the need for diagnostic tests, thereby also boosting the demand for blood processing and storage equipment. For instance, as per WHO, more than 1.35 million people lose their lives in traffic accidents each year.

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the blood testing market, which accounted for USD 74.9 billion in 2022, primarily due to increased demand for diagnostic procedures. Due to the pandemic, there was a substantial increase in demand for blood storage equipment such as refrigerators and freezers. The blood and blood components are required to be stored at specific temperatures to maintain their integrity and prevent degradation.
 

Blood Processing and Storage Equipment Market Trends

The growing preference for technologically advanced equipment across the healthcare sector is predicted to boost the adoption of the devices. For instance, in March 2022, Mindray unveiled its BC-700 Series, a novel hematology analyzer series that consists of both erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and complete blood count (CBC) tests.

• Furthermore, many government organizations are making efforts to improve the storage and maintenance of blood & blood components to tackle a wide range of health issues and critical injuries.
  
   
• For instance, in August 2022, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) announced the launch of ‘Giving = Living’, a campaign aimed at increasing awareness of the significance of donating blood and plasma.

   

Blood Processing and Storage Equipment Market Analysis

The market by product is categorized into devices and consumables. The devices segment is sub segmented into plasma freezers, blood bank & lab refrigerators, lab, ultralow temperature, & shock freezers, grouping analyzers, warmers, hematocrit centrifuges, and cell processors. The consumables segment is further subdivided into blood administration sets, blood bags, blood collection needles, blood collection tube, blood filters, blood lancets, blood grouping reagents, blood coagulation reagents, hematology reagents, and other consumables. The devices segment garnered USD 28.1 billion revenue size in the year 2022.
