Platelet Agitator Market

Global Platelet Agitator Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The global platelet agitator market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.10% during the forecast period.

In general, agitators are devices that put some particular things into motion by shaking or stirring. For example, the platelet agitator is generally used to prevent clumping of platelets, kept in the same position without any movements, by continuously shaking the platelets gently to prevent clumps. These are also available in different sizes and users can choose according to their usage. It has multiple shelves made up of stainless steel, and once the platelet bags are arranged on the shelves, the agitator is switched on to start the process. 

MARKET DRIVERS

The growing prevalence of chronic diseases worldwide is a significant factor driving the growth of the global platelet agitator market.

People's awareness of the benefits of early diagnosis is significantly influencing the growth rate of the market. In addition, the growing prevalence of effective treatment procedures is accelerating the demand for the platelet agitator market. Increasing awareness of the available treatment procedures for different health disorders is solely to set up growth opportunities for the global platelet agitator market. Furthermore, the rise in the elderly population globally is lavishing the growth rate of the platelet agitator market. Growing funds from public and private organizations on research and development institutes are very likely to bolster the market's growth rate to an extent. In addition, surging expenditure on healthcare is fuelling the demand for the market. Another factor fuelling the market's growth is the increasing number of people with abnormalities in platelets and the prevalence of permanent cures of the disease. 

MARKET RESTRAINTS

However, the shortage of skilled labor following the procedure due to fewer training programs significantly in rural areas hinders the market's growth rate. Fluctuations in the production rate are also inhibiting the demand of the platelet agitator market. Lack of standardization is one more factor declining the growth rate of the global platelet agitator market. 

Impact of COVID-19 on the global platelet agitator market

The pandemic has been an opportunity in disguise for the whole pharmaceutical and healthcare industry. While the supply and Marketing activities have been halted, all the major players focused on research and development. As a result, they increased the funding for research and development. The primary beneficiaries of this event have been supplementary industries like medical devices, healthcare IT, and biotechnology. Subsequently, the prevalence of diseases like dengue, Chikungunya, and malaria has also increased. These diseases lower the platelet count, and the research process on these diseases requires a constant supply of platelets. In addition, due to the tendency of platelets to clump, they need to be constantly agitated. Thus, the platelet agitator is required. With the increasing prevalence of these diseases, governments focus on eliminating them as they impact the community and country. Therefore, the demand for platelet agitators has been increasing during the pandemic due to increased research and development by research institutions and companies.
