Apheresis Market Research, 2031
The global apheresis market was valued at $2.4 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $5.3 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 8.3% from 2022 to 2031. Apheresis is withdrawal of blood from donor’s body, removal of one or more blood components such as platelets, white blood cells or plasma and transfusion of the remaining blood back into the donor during the process or at the end of the process. In apheresis, the whole blood from a patient or donor’s body is transformed within an instrument that is essentially designed as a centrifuge, in which the components of whole blood are separated. One of the separated portions is then withdrawn and the remaining components are re-transfused into the donor.
The key factors that drive the apheresis market growth include increase in demand for blood components across the globe and surge in government initiatives toward blood donation. In addition, newly approved indications for apheresis treatment such as autoimmune hemolytic anemia, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, and cardiac neonatal lupus further supplement the market growth. In October 2020, Haemoneticsis, blood management product company, received product approval from FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for NexSys PCS with persona technology, which customizes plasma collection based on an individual donor's body composition.
In addition, in October 2020, Kaneka Corporation, chemicals, food products, and medical devices company launched rheocarna, an adsorption type blood purification device that treats severe form of arteriosclerosis obliterans. Furthermore, increase in the use of plasma donation in the treatment of burnt patients, trauma patients, and patients suffering from serious disorders or major injuries contribute toward the growth of the market. Moreover, in COVID-19 plasma treatment therapy (convalescent plasma) is given to patients admitted due to COVID-19. On the contrary, advancements in the healthcare sector in emerging economies are expected to offer significant profitable apheresis market opportunity for key players.
The COVID-19 outbreak is anticipated to have a positive impact on growth of the global apheresis market. The COVID-19 pandemic stressed healthcare systems globally. Owing to the COVID-19, the coagulation parameters such as platelet count, fibrinogen, D-dimmer, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), were found as complication in the patients who were severely infected, thus extensive application of plasma therapy treatment was given. The convalescent plasma (CP) therapy is used in patients who got infected due to COVID-19. According to the Article published in Lancet journal, between May 28, 2020, and June 15, 2021, 11558 (71%) of 16287 patients enrolled in recovery were eligible to receive convalescent plasma. CP therapy involves collection of plasma from the patient’s body who has recently recovered from infection and infusion of that collected plasma into the body of individual who is at risk. Thus, above aforementioned factors impacted positively on the growth of the global apheresis market during pandemic.

By Procedure
By procedure, the donor/automated segment dominated the apheresis market share in 2021, and this trend is expected to continue during the forecast period, as blood centers have major share in the global apheresis market, which supplement the growth of the donor apheresis segment. Furthermore, surge in apheresis platelet donation and apheresis plasma donations have contributed to the market growth.However, the therapeutic apheresis segment is expected to witness considerable growth during the forecast period owing to rise in patient base suffering from chronic disorders, apheresis is performed for the removal of disease mediator in plasma (autologous/allogenic antibodies), removal diseased cells (sickle or parasite-infected red cells), removal of excess cells (essential thrombocythemia), and replacement with normal blood components.
By Component
By component, the plasma (plasmapheresis) segment dominated the market in 2021, and this trend is expected to continue during the forecast period, owing to its wide utilization across renal & metabolic diseases and hematologic & neurologic disorders. However, the platelet pheresis segment is expected to witness considerable growth during the forecast period, due to soaring number of platelet apheresis procedures across the globe.
By Component
The Plasma (Plasmapheresis) segment dominated the market in 2021, and is expected to continue this trend during the forecast period.
By End user
By end user, blood centers segment dominated the market in 2021, and this trend is expected to continue during the forecast period, as donor apheresis forms a major constituent of the apheresis industry, and maximum donor apheresis procedures are performed in the blood centers across the globe. However, the other end user segment is expected to witness considerable growth during the forecast period, as biopharmaceutical manufacturers are the major contributors to the robust growth of this segment, owing to increase in demand for plasma-based drugs.
By End User
The Blood Centers segment dominated the market in 2021, and is expected to continue this trend during the forecast period
By Region
Region-wise, North America dominated the apheresis market size in 2021, and is expected to be dominant during the forecast period, owing to the early adoption of novel apheresis systems and increase in prevalence of blood-related disorders in this region.
