The global blood screening market size is expected to reach USD 6.62 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 11.9% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth of the market is attributed to the increase in screening of donor and continuous technological advancement by the market players. Demand for blood screening tests is increasing continuously due to increasing donation, rising awareness about transfusion-transmitted diseases, and technological developments in the industry. Furthermore, governments of various countries are in process to mandates testing all donated blood for several viruses.
Thorough screening is necessary for all donated blood to ensure that recipients receive the safest products. As of 2015, such testing consists of screening for red cell antibodies, and the infectious diseases agents: HIV-1, HIV-2, hepatitis virus, West Nile Virus (WNV), Human T-Lymphotropic Virus (HTLV) T. Cruzi, and T. pallidum (syphilis). The result of all these assays must be negative for blood donation.
Technological developments increase the sensitivity and efficiency of the tests. For instance, in 2016, the U.S. FDA approved the Procleix Zika virus assay from Hologic, Inc. and Grifols to screen donated blood. Furthermore, the U.S. FDA approved next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology in 2013. The technology is cheaper and faster than previous DNA analysis methods.
