Blood Group Typing Market, by Product (Instruments, Reagents & Kits) , by Test Type (ABO Tests, Antigen Typing, Antibody Screening, Cross-Matching Tests, HLA Typing), by Technique (Serology Tests, Molecular Tests), by End User (Hospital, Blood Banks) : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2024 - 2033

Key Market Dynamics

According to blood group typing market forecast analysis key factors driving the growth of the market include rise in blood donation globally, surge in the requirement of blood for clinical use, and surge in prevalence of traumatic injuries leading to excessive blood loss. According to a 2023 article by National Library of Medicine, blood donation is highly important in global healthcare, with over 100 million blood units contributed annually. As awareness about the importance of blood donation increases and medical institutions enhance their blood collection efforts, there is a corresponding surge in demand for accurate and efficient blood group typing.

Blood group typing is crucial for ensuring compatibility between donors and recipients, preventing transfusion reactions, and managing various blood-related conditions. With more people voluntarily donating blood and the establishment of more organized blood donation campaigns, healthcare providers require advanced blood typing technologies to handle the growing volume of samples. Thus, the growing number of blood donations in the world is expected to drive the blood group typing market growth. 

Furthermore, surge in the requirement of blood for clinical use is expected to drive the growth of the market. This heightened demand is driven by several factors, including the growing prevalence of chronic diseases, the expansion of surgical procedures, and rise in number of trauma cases that require immediate blood transfusions. According to a 2023 report by The American National Red Cross, it was estimated that a single car accident victim can require as many as 100 units of blood. In addition, the need for accurate blood typing is crucial in emergency situations and routine medical procedures to prevent transfusion reactions and enhance patient safety. As healthcare systems strive to manage and optimize blood supply chains effectively, the demand for advanced blood group typing technologies, such as automated systems and molecular methods, has surged. Thus, the requirement of blood for clinical use is expected to drive the growth of the blood group typing market size.

Parent Market Overview- Blood Screening Market

Blood screening is the process of testing the donated blood prior to transfusion to ensure that recipients receive the safest possible blood products. The objective of blood screening is to detect markers of infection to prevent the release of infected blood and blood components for clinical use. Blood screening strategies are designed to assure the safety of blood units. Based on the screening process, the blood is either used for medical applications or discarded if any infectious pathogen was found in it. The factors driving the growth of the market include rise in demand for donated blood and blood related products for medical applications, surge in number of blood donations globally, and strict protocols by regulatory body for screening of blood to ensure safe transfusion.
