Global Blood Group Typing Market - 2024-2031

Overview

The global blood group typing market reached US$ 2.08 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 4.14 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 9.2% during the forecast period 2024-2031.

Blood typing is an important medical service that is used to ensure that patients who are given a transfusion are matched accurately with their blood type.

Currently, patients are routinely tested for ABO blood type to determine if their blood is one of four main types - A, B, AB, or O - and either RhD positive or negative and most patients can be accurately matched with one of these common blood types.

But because of advances in medical science, we now can recognize at least 43 different blood group systems, and it's important, especially for high-risk patients, that blood typing provides a more precise match.

Blood group typing can be classified as forward and reverse typing based on traditional serological testing. Specifically, forward typing involves the detection of A and B antigens based on RBC agglutination by the specific antiserum and the intensity of agglutination, whereas reverse typing is used to identify the presence or absence of anti-A, anti-B, and anti-AB antibodies in plasma or serum.

Market Dynamics

Drivers

Increasing Number of Road Accidents, Emergencies, & Trauma Cases Necessitating Blood Transfusions

The demand for the global blood group typing market is driven by multiple factors. One of the driving factors is the increasing number of road accidents, emergencies, and trauma cases requiring blood transfusions is a significant driver of the blood group typing market.

Road accidents and trauma cases often result in severe injuries, hemorrhagic shock, and chronic anemia, which may require major surgeries. In such situations, blood transfusions are crucial to ensure the patient's survival.

In addition, key players in the industry introducing new launches and innovative apps would drive this market growth. According to the National Blood Transfusion Committee in June 2024, Transfusion introduced the new Transfusion Training Hub, specifically designed to support education and training for all healthcare professionals working with Blood Transfusion and for anyone wishing to increase their transfusion knowledge.

Similarly in February 2024, NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) released its' first innovative virtual reality training app 'NHSBT Blood Identification' which realistically simulates the process of testing blood for lifesaving blood transfusions.

Moreover, key players strategies such as partnerships and collaborations would drive this market growth. For instance, in March 2023, Werfen completed the acquisition of Immucor, Inc., expanding leadership in Specialized Diagnostics. By using this partnership, Werfen expands its portfolio of diagnostic solutions for hospitals and clinical laboratories.

Factors such as the high cost of blood group typing products, the complexity of blood group typing, poor blood services infrastructure, lack of awareness & skilled professionals, stringent regulations, and limited access to advanced technology are expected to hamper the market.

Segment Analysis

The global blood group typing market is segmented based on product, technique, test type, end-user, and region.

The ABO blood tests segment accounted for approximately 23.4% of the global blood group typing market share

The ABO blood tests segment is expected to hold the largest market share over the forecast period. The ABO system is defined by the presence or absence of the A and/or B antigens on human red blood cells and by the presence of antibodies in the plasma or serum corresponding to the antigen or antigens missing in the red blood cells.

Blood groups are usually an individual's combination of antigens on the surface of RBCs, typically of the ABO blood group system and the RH blood group system.

Moreover, key players in the industry introduce innovative technologies that would propel this market growth. For instance, in May 2024, Thermo Fisher Scientific, introduced the Applied Biosystems Axiom BloodGenomiX Array and Software, a first-of-its-kind solution for more precise blood genotyping in clinical research.

The new array covers more than 40 genes and 260 antigens across 38 blood group systems in a single, high-throughput assay. It also detects tissue (HLA) and platelet (HPA) types. Validation studies have demonstrated its accuracy, with a concordance rate of 99.89% with participants' blood group antigen types.

In addition, government initiatives and awareness camps are propelling this segment's growth. As per the Hindu Business Line news in June 2022, the Centre calls for setting up blood group testing camps at all health centers on World Blood Donor Day. Centre calls for setting up blood group testing camps at all health centers on World Blood Donor Day.

Also, in June 2022, in Tamil Nadu, the Directorate of Public Health and Preventive Medicine launched the "Know Your Blood Group" campaign in all PHCs in the state.

Geographical Analysis

North America accounted for approximately 45.4% of the global blood group typing market share

North America region is expected to hold the largest market share over the forecast period. An increase in the number of road accidents and the rising prevalence of chronic diseases are the major factors driving the growth of the market.

In this region, advanced healthcare structure, government awareness programs, and partnerships and collaborations would drive this market growth. For instance, in January 2024, Mayor Muriel Bowser and the District of Columbia Fire and EMS Department announced the Whole Blood Program, an initiative designed to support and train paramedics in performing pre-hospital blood transfusions in partnership with the American Red Cross.

The Whole Blood Program is designed to increase survival rates and clinical outcomes for patients suffering from traumatic injuries, hemorrhagic shock, or severe bleeding by decreasing the amount of time it takes to replace lost blood.

Furthermore, there is an increasing demand for blood transfusion in the United States driving the market growth. According to U.S. blood supply facts in 2024, every 2 seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood and or platelets. Approximately 29,000 units of red blood cells are needed every day in the U. S. Nearly 5,000 units of platelets and 6.500 units of plasma are needed daily in the U.S.

Nearly 16 million blood components are transfused each year in the U.S. Sickle cell disease affects 90,000 to 100,000 people in the U.S. About 1,000 babies are born with the disease each year. Sickle cell patients can require blood transfusions throughout their lives.
