The global blood bags market size reached USD 312.6 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 637.2 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.38% during 2025-2033. The market is experiencing moderate growth driven by the rising demand for blood transfusions, various technological advancements, the expanding healthcare infrastructure in emerging markets, stringent regulatory compliance, and the growing awareness about blood donation.
A blood bank is a facility where blood is collected from donors, typed, separated into components, stored, and prepared for transfusion to patients. The blood is separated into red blood cells (RBCs), plasma, and platelets, which are transfused to different individuals according to their requirements. Blood banks avoid transfusion-related reactions by providing proper identification of the patients and blood products. In addition, they offer distribution services of blood to hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, pharmaceutical companies, and research centers.
The growing prevalence of hematological diseases, such as rare genetic conditions, anemia, and sickle cell disease due to disorders of the blood and blood-forming organs, represents one of the key factors driving the market. Moreover, there is an increase in the demand for safe blood due to the rising cases of transfusion transmissible infections (TTI), such as human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) and hepatitis B. This, along with the increasing geriatric population across the globe, is propelling the growth of the market. In addition, there is a rise in the demand for red blood cells (RBCs) in amputation surgeries. This, coupled with various benefits associated with red blood cells (RBCs), such as easy availability and low cost of storage and maintenance, is positively influencing the market. Besides this, governments of several countries are taking initiatives to promote blood donation around the world. In line with this, the expanding healthcare industry is offering lucrative growth opportunities to end-users and investors. Additionally, the rising number of accidents in sports due to poor training methods, structural abnormalities, and unsafe exercising environments is bolstering the demand for packed red blood cells (RBCs) during blood transfusions.
