Global Blood Screening Market Overview
To ensure healthy blood units, essential procedures must be followed during the examination of donated blood and the separation of blood and blood components. Depending on the outcome of the tests, they are either issued for therapeutic use or manufacturing, or they are disposed of. Different procedures, reagents, kits, instruments, and software are used to conduct laboratory tests on blood samples obtained during donation. All blood sample tests are performed and recorded in well-equipped laboratories using tried-and-true procedures. All blood samples, donations, and components are marked with the appropriate label to ensure proper identification throughout the testing process. Strong guidelines are in place to avoid errors that lead to dangerous blood transfusions.
Global Blood Screening Market Trend
Growth Drivers
Increased Awareness for Blood Donations
Donation and pre-transfusion research have become more common as a result of efforts by numerous organizations and governments. According to the WHO, approximately 108 million blood donations are collected annually worldwide. Half of these blood donations are received in poor countries with less than 20% of the population. Rising recognition and high demand for safe blood necessitate the development of suitable testing technologies, reagents, kits, and other items to build opportunities for developing countries. Furthermore, the rate of testing for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and viruses has nearly doubled in many countries, generating an ever-increasing demand for blood testing kits for different diseases, which is creating opportunities in the global blood screening industry. To encourage volunteers, the WHO had also set a goal to provide safe access to blood worldwide. Similarly, the Australian Red Cross launched a project called “First Blood: Overcoming Donor Fear,” which encourages people to donate blood by providing a toolkit to help first-time donors overcome their anxiety. These programs raise voluntary investments and are expected to shift the demand over the forecast period.
Growing Frequency of Newer Pathogens
In recent years, there has been an unexpected increase in the number of novel infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, zoonotic diseases (diseases transmitted by animals), and so on. Additionally, various pathogens also attack the living organisms through various vectors (virus in most cases). In addition, comprehensive R&D is being promoted continually to classify the characteristics of pathogens for diagnosing their presence in the blood. A physician will usually recommend a blood test to patients in order to detect any serious diseases or complications in advance. To prioritize R&D in public health emergency contexts, recently, the WHO is constantly focusing on the high risk of various potential pathogens and diseases like COVID-19, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, Ebola virus disease, and Marburg virus disease, Lassa fever, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Nipah and henipaviral diseases, Rift Valley fever, Zika, and so on.
Restraints
High Cost and Unreliable Results are Expected to Hinder the Market Growth
The shortage of trained professionals with less knowledge has been a major challenge to this market. Moreover, blood tests that involve direct contact with the body may be inconvenient for patients and pose a significant risk of infection transmissions, such as Hepatitis A, and B, or HIV. Also, some blood testing devices are very costly, and they necessitate the use of sensors every month. Additionally, since certain blood test kits are inaccurate and can generate an incorrect result, self-testing puts the patient’s life at risk. These are some factors that are impeding the growth of the global blood screening market.
Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 epidemic has created havoc on the global economy. Due to high levels of infection and the detrimental effects on public health systems, many countries have had to tighten national closures, impacting supply chains in manufacturing, commerce, and other related services in particular. The world is currently searching for new ways for independent laboratories to extend their research. However, curfews and lockdown worldwide have almost halted the blood donations, decreased/canceled collection drives, diminished the demand for donated blood, and has adversely affected the growth of the blood screening market during the forecasted period globally. However, since the lockdown restrictions are being eased by the governments of different countries, the number of blood donors has increased.
Global Blood Screening Market: By Product and Services
The product and services category broadly consists of reagents and kits, NAT reagents and kits, ELISA reagents and kits, other reagents and kits, instruments, outright purchase, rental purchase, and software and services. Among these, the reagents and kits segment has dominated the market. The large share of this category is mainly due to the frequent utilization of reagents and kits, increased transfusion-related screenings, increased blood donations, and the increasing incidence of chronic or infectious diseases. In addition, reagents are cost-effective for customers and offer a high return on retail investment.
The high cost and reusable nature of the Instruments can hinder the growth of the blood test market. However, following consumer acceptance for the launch of instruments, the growing success of the instrument segment cannot be ignored. For instance, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved Roche’s Cobas Zika donor screening test for the Zika virus. This can prevent the spread of the Zika virus in the U.S. through blood donations.
Global Blood Screening Market: By Technology
Based on the technology the global blood screening market is fragmented into nucleic acid testing, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, rapid test, western blot assay, next-generation screening.
The nucleic acid amplification test (NAT) is growing at the fastest rate due to its high sensitivity and specificity for viral nucleic acid. The test can detect nucleic acid earlier than other screening techniques and thus, shrinks the window period of HBV (hepatitis B), HCV (hepatitis C), and HIV (human immune deficiency virus) infections.
Global Blood Screening Market: By End-User
Based on end-user, the global blood screening market is broadly classified into two categories–hospitals and blood banks. Both blood banks, as well as hospitals, follow almost a similar channel to procure blood and then making it available to a patient in need. People may willingly donate blood, which is usually accompanied by the issuance of a donor card, which can be used in the future to obtain any form of blood required by the patient. Following COVID-19, all blood banks and hospitals are under intense pressure to supply blood for safe transfusions in COVID patients.
