A blood and fluid warmer is a medical device designed to heat blood, intravenous fluids, or other solutions before they are administered to a patient. Its primary function is to prevent hypothermia and maintain normal body temperature (normothermia) during medical procedures, surgeries, or emergencies that involve the infusion of large volumes of cold fluids or blood products.
The main types of blood and fluid warmers include patient warming accessories, intravenous warming systems, and surface warming systems. Patient warming accessories encompass additional devices used in healthcare settings to either maintain or raise a patient's body temperature during procedures or recovery, such as blankets, mattresses, or forced-air systems. These warmers find applications across various healthcare settings including homecare, acute care, newborn care, preoperative care, and others. They are utilized by diverse end-users such as clinics, hospitals, specialty centers, and similar facilities.

This blood and fluid warmer market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The blood and fluid warmer market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.13 billion in 2024 to $1.23 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to stringent regulatory standards and guidelines regarding patient care, the economic benefits of reducing complications associated with hypothermia, growing awareness of complications linked to hypothermia, global aging population and the shift towards minimally invasive surgeries.
The blood and fluid warmer market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.71 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth in healthcare facilities, including hospitals and specialty clinics, the increase in trauma cases and emergency surgeries, supportive regulatory frameworks promoting the use of blood and fluid warmers, expansion of emergency medical services and ambulance fleets and heightened emphasis on improving patient outcomes. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of advanced features such as electronic controls, innovations in heating technologies and materials, miniaturization of devices, personalized medicine approaches, incorporation of telemedicine capabilities and remote monitoring functionalities.
The increasing number of surgical procedures is expected to drive growth in the blood and fluid warmer market moving forward. Surgical procedures involve medical interventions performed by trained healthcare professionals to address diseases, injuries, or deformities using incisions or minimally invasive techniques. This rise is driven by advancements in surgical techniques, improved access to healthcare services, an aging population requiring more medical interventions, and the expansion of specialized surgical procedures for complex conditions. Blood and fluid warmers play a critical role in surgical settings by ensuring patient safety and optimizing outcomes. They prevent hypothermia and maintain optimal fluid temperatures, thereby enhancing surgical efficiency and aiding in recovery. For example, according to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in September 2022, there was an overall 11.2% increase in procedures performed by plastic surgeons in 2022, with over 14.9 million surgical and 18.8 million non-surgical procedures globally. This trend underscores how the growing number of surgical procedures is driving demand and growth in the blood and fluid warmer market.
Leading companies in the blood and fluid warmer market are focusing on developing advanced products, such as systems based on patented warming technology, to improve efficiency and safety in medical environments while meeting the critical need for maintaining optimal fluid temperatures. These patented warming systems use innovative heating methods protected by patents to ensure efficient and controlled warming for a variety of applications, including medical devices, food preservation, and outdoor gear. For example, in June 2024, MEQU A/S, a Denmark-based medical technology company, received 510(k) approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its portable blood and IV-fluid warming device, the °M Warmer System. The °M Warmer can heat infusion fluids from cold to body temperature in under 10 seconds. The AC-powered °M Station serves as an in-hospital power solution for the °M Warmer System and is designed for use in emergency rooms, operating theatres, intensive care units, X-ray/CT scan areas, and more.
In January 2022, ICU Medical, Inc., a US-based medical device company, completed the acquisition of Smiths Medical from the Smiths Group for $2.35 billion. This acquisition strategically aligns with ICU Medical's current operations and positions the company as a larger, U.S.-based global competitor in the medical device market, thereby enhancing the stability of the medical supply chain. Smiths Medical, also based in the US, is recognized for its offerings in blood and fluid warmers among other medical devices.
