Immunohematology refers to the branch of medicine and diagnostics that focuses on the study of blood group antigens and antibodies to ensure safe and effective blood transfusion and management of immune-mediated blood disorders. This field encompasses a range of diagnostic methods, devices and reagents used to analyze and identify blood types, detect antibodies and manage conditions related to the immune response involving blood cells.
The immunohematology market consists of sales, by entities (organizations, sole traders, or partnerships), of immunohematology that are utilized primarily when blood compatibility needs to be ensured, such as during pretransfusion testing, organ transplantation and investigation of immune-mediated hemolysis.
The global immunohematology market was valued at $2,096.15 million in 2019 which grew till 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 3.00%.
Increasing Prevalence Of Blood Disorders
An increasing prevalence of blood disorders contributed to the growth of the immunohematology market in the historic period. As the prevalence of blood disorders continues to rise, the demand for precise blood typing, crossmatching and screening tests is expanding. Immunohematology is crucial for the identification of blood group antigens and antibodies, ensuring compatibility in blood transfusions and organ transplants. This field plays a vital role in minimizing transfusion reactions, thereby increasing the need for dependable immunohematology products and services to support safe transfusion practices. For instance, in April 2024, according to a report published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a US-based national public health agency, there were 2.8 million visits to physician offices for anemia as the primary diagnosis, with 6,021 deaths, resulting in a mortality rate of 1.8 deaths per 100,000 population. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of blood disorders drove the growth of the immunohematology market.
Optimizing Blood Testing Processes With Advanced Multiplex Analysis
Companies operating in the immunohematology market focus on transforming blood transfusion management with advanced multiplex analysis. This technology enables high-resolution analysis of blood samples, allowing for more comprehensive and accurate results while reducing the need for multiple individual tests. It optimizes the testing process by grouping various parameters in one step, improving the efficiency and throughput of blood testing. For instance, in June 2024, Innobiochips, a France-based biotechnology company, introduced Omnys, an advanced solution designed to optimize blood transfusion, grouping and testing processes. This innovative system significantly improves laboratory efficiency by enabling multiplex analysis with high-resolution testing of blood components, such as ABO (major blood group system) /D typing (Rh factor) and phenotyping, while reducing the number of wells required from 16 to just 4-6. The Omnys incorporates multiple patented technologies, streamlining operations, minimizing waste and reducing the carbon footprint associated with blood testing. A beta testing program for Omnys is scheduled to begin in early 2025, offering blood banks and healthcare institutions an opportunity to assess its integration into transfusion workflows.
The global immunohematology market is fairly concentrated, with large players operating in the market. The top ten competitors in the market made up to 36.89% of the total market in 2023.
