Apheresis Equipment Market

Apheresis is a process in which the blood is temporarily drawn from a donor and separated into its components. Further, the required components like plasma or platelets are retained and the remaining blood is returned to the donor by transfusion. Apheresis is used to separate the required blood components, from the donors blood and is also used in the treatment of particular conditions like leukemia. Blood platelets are used in the treatment of various diseases and are extracted using the apheresis equipment. A rise in the demand for blood derivatives, increasing incidences of conditions like sickle cell anemia and leukemia along with the increasing use of apheresis to treat cancer, are the key factors, which would drive the growth of global apheresis equipment market during the analysis period. Presently, the market witnesses a larger adoption of disposable apheresis kits arising from the high incidence rates of hospital acquired infections. This would further drive the growth of global apheresis equipment market. A key factor that restrains the growth of this market is the lack of blood donors.
