The global blood group typing market size is predicted to be worth USD 5.53 billion by 2029 from USD 3.45 billion in 2024. This market showcases a CAGR of 9.9% during the forecast period.

Current Scenario of the Global Blood Group Typing Market

The global blood group typing market has experienced notable growth in the recent past due to the growing awareness of among healthcare professionals and public of the importance of blood group compatibility in various medical procedures that range from transfusions, organ transplants to prenatal care. The blood group typing market is expected to continue the momentum during the forecast period owing to the continuing impact of these factors. The demand for blood group typing services is particularly high in countries such as United States, Canada, European nations, Japan and Australia as these countries have access to robust healthcare systems and medical procedures keeps happening at a high volume on a regular basis. On the other hand, highly populated countries such as India, China and Brazil have been experiencing increasing demand for blood group typing services over the last few years and these countries are predicted to lucrative markets for blood group typing services during the forecast period.

In the recent past, the global pandemic has presented unprecedented challenges to the blood group typing market. When it comes to receiving a blood transfusion, accurate blood grouping is essential. The nature and presence of antigens in red blood cells play a role in blood group identification. During a blood transfusion or organ transplant treatment, blood group typing is a critical examination that helps determine the donor's similarity to the recipient. Improvements aided the market's development in the blood detection technique. According to the American National Red Cross, almost 21 million blood products are transfused per year in the United States. According to the same article, nearly 6.8 million individuals in the United States donate blood each year.

MARKET DRIVERS

Y-O-Y growth in the number of blood banks worldwide, increased blood donors, blood donation campaigns, and blood transfusions across the globe are expected to boost the global blood group typing market.

Increasing prevalence to identify an individual's blood group in the medical sector is a key driving factor for the blood group typing market to grow. The growing number of blood banks across the world is accelerating the demand of the market. Besides, increasing accidental cases and blood in emergency cases propel the need for the blood group typing market. Rising incidences of chronic diseases and the growing number of surgical treatment procedures greatly influence the growth of the global blood group typing market. Even in rural areas, increasing blood donation campaigns is gearing up the demand of this market. The emergence of the latest technologies in the medical sector is to set up growth opportunities for the market.

Furthermore, the market benefits from an increase in the number of traffic crashes and injuries, and an increase in the number of blood checks for blood transfusion improves the market growth. Blood transfusions and organ replacement have risen as the number of blood tumors such as lymphoma, leukemia, and myeloma, and blood-related diseases have increased. However, improving healthcare infrastructure in developing markets such as China and India are expected to propel the market growth. The market is expected to expand further as more of these tests diagnose Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn (HDN).

Also, a rising number of healthcare facilities and the advances in blood group typing systems, on the other hand, create promising growth opportunities for market participants, which is likely to augment market growth. Another important factor driving the market growth is the growing relevance of blood group typing during pregnancy. The rising prevalence of chronic diseases, as well as increased R&D initiatives aimed at understanding the molecular basis of blood and antibody-antigen interactions, can be credited for this segment's large share and rapid development.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

The negligence of the staff members in maintaining correct formats and high cost associated with blood group testing services are primarily hindering the growth of the global market. Limited awareness among people about the importance of blood group typing, lack of skilled healthcare professionals for blood typing and regulatory hurdles for blood typing kits and technologies are impeding the growth of the global market. Limited reimbursement options for blood typing tests, concerns about patient privacy and data security and the competition from alternative blood typing methods or technologies are hampering the growth of the global market.
