The global apheresis equipment market size is expected to reach USD 7.0 billion by 2033, registering a CAGR of 9.4% from 2026 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The rising demand for blood components, along with the rising incidence of diseases requiring blood transfusions such as leukemia, hemophilia, sickle cell anemia, and the growing usage of apheresis for cancer therapy, are all driving the demand.
The market is expected to grow significantly due to the rising prevalence of target diseases. The advantages of apheresis collection over whole blood collection, as well as the rising demand for plasma from biopharmaceutical companies for use in plasma fractionation, are all contributing to the industry's growth. Furthermore, the constant shortage of blood, and even the demand to ensure the safety of the blood that is provided, has shifted attention to apheresis blood.
The U.S. Federal Government has been very involved in the funding of apheresis research through its benefit programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, veterans’ health administration military, and employee insurance programs. Medicare provides coverage for apheresis regardless of whether the procedure is performed in a hospital or a blood center. In addition, private insurers have recently begun to closely examine apheresis procedures and issue policy statements pertaining to coverage.
The industry is also expected to be driven by technological innovations aimed at delivering relatively more effective and faster results. Healthcare practitioners and researchers are now in need of devices requiring minimum human intervention and the introduction of fully automatic apheresis equipment with enhanced displays is expected to improve usage rates.
The outbreak of COVID-19 had a significant impact on the market. Due to travel restrictions and social distancing, many donors refrained from blood donation leading to the cancellation of blood donation camps. The Indian Red Cross Society used to collect 200 units of blood in one day. This fell by 80% to 30-40 units in 2020. However, demand for plasma therapy during the later phase of the pandemic increased the demand for plasmapheresis.
