Growth Factors in the Blood Bank Market
- Increasing Demand for Blood Transfusions
The increasing demand for blood transfusions, due to ongoing surgical procedures, trauma cases, and chronic diseases, is a key growth driver for blood banks. Chronic disease patients requiring procedures or maintenance are often frequent patients needing transfusions of blood products. Cancer, anemia and hemophilia patients often require transfusions with regularity, thereby increasing the demand for blood banks to maintain safe and readily available blood supplies. In the U.S., for example, the American Red Cross estimates that someone is in need of blood every two seconds of every day. There will always be a need to have blood available and keep sufficient inventory for those that use blood regularly. Additionally, advanced medical therapies, such as organ transplants or highly complicated surgeries, rely heavily and are dependent upon the availability of blood. The increased medical dependence on blood products has caused blood collection agencies to broaden their capabilities of collection, storage, and delivery these blood products to meet patient requests.
- Technological Advancements in Blood Storage and Testing
New blood storage and testing technologies are creating new momentum in the blood bank market. New refrigeration technologies and new methods for blood component cryopreservation allow for extended product lifespans, thereby minimizing waste in inventory management. Automation of testing, such as with nucleic acid testing (NAT), increases detection of infectious diseases and provides safer blood components. A case study published by the Australian Red Cross Lifeblood demonstrated how NIV implemented NAT and reported a significant reduction in transfusion related infection transmission. Such new innovations in technology will improve operational efficiencies and enhance public perception and acceptance of blood safety which, hopefully, leads to increased patronage upticks in longer term blood donation efforts and facilitates emergency preparedness/playbook to meet increasing global healthcare needs.
- Growing Awareness and Blood Donation Campaigns
The growth of the market is largely due to enhanced public knowledge about blood donation and organized campaigns to address the shortage of blood donations. Also due to projects launched by local and state governments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) or healthcare organizations, all over the globe, increased awareness has resulted in open community engagement, and ultimately voluntary donations. The National Blood Transfusion Council in India, for example, has encouraged donation drives in areas outside large cities, and this has improved blood collection donations in these areas. Utilizing social media campaigns to engage with younger donors and developing partnerships with corporations has also endorsed efforts to promote a higher awareness of blood donation programs. Increased awareness of blood donation campaigns now able to address blood donation levels in some developing parts of the world, and from growing blood donation awareness, blood bank infrastructure programs will be additionally required, building capacity for an ongoing and reliable supply of emergency and routine blood supply for hospitals and clinics.
Key Trends in the Blood Bank Market
- Adoption of Digital and Data-Driven Solutions
There are changes happening within the blood bank market as it is changing into a digitalized future, where data-based applications will enable better ways of operating blood banks. Blood bank management system (BBMS) systems have allowed for easier and better ways of registering donors, managing inventories, and ultimately, distribution and logistics. The South African National Blood Service exemplifies how digitalization is helping blood services, the organization can now track blood stocks and levels in real-time, which will limit waste. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is following the same progression on not only estimating donation trends, but also supporting supply chain considerations to control outputs and to simplify supply and need workflows. Digital tools allow for improved efficiencies, minimize errors, and get blood when it is needed most. As health-care systems prioritize efficiencies, and 'doing the right things', digitalization is a trending key enabler for blood banks, which will help blood banks react to and meet capacity growing needs in an improvised precision/ expedient manner.
- Focus on Personalized Blood Products
An important trend is the growing focus on personalized blood products for individual patient indications. Processes such as leukoreduction and irradiation of the blood yields specialized components for that patient, better serving the immunocompromised patient, such as those receiving chemotherapy. The European Blood Alliance has noted that cancer treatment centres have increased the demand for such individualized blood products. In addition, research regarding transfusion of specialized blood group transfusions and rare blood type banking is receiving increased attention. The increased emphasis on personalized blood products represented by this trend is a manifestation of precision medicine and has required blood banks to spend on capabilities to meet this demand with an advanced processing technology and specialty storage to allow blood banks to provide more focused, high-quality blood products that could improve patient outcomes.
- Expansion of Mobile Blood Collection Units
Mobile blood collection units are rising in popularity, increasing access and convenience for donors. These units equip with modern collection and storage capabilities are able to visit remote areas, workplaces, and community centers, thus making donation even easier. The NHS Blood and Transplant service in the UK is implementing additional mobile units to encourage blood donation to regions less frequented, though they have breweries with high rates of collection. This trend can help to eliminate or reduce urban-rural gaps in blood supply, while reaching people living busy lifestyles where donation opportunities typically require travelling long distances away from home or work. As mobile blood collection units continue to rollout and develop, we are witnessing a shift in blood bank strategies that fosters inclusivity, creates a more comprehensive blood supply chain, and strengthens our overall supply of donor blood.
We explore the factors driving the growth of the market, including technological advancements, consumer behaviors, and regulatory changes, along with emerging blood bank market trends.
