Leukapheresis Market Outlook and Strategic Insights by 2028

[Research Report] The leukapheresis market is projected to reach US$ 133.90 million by 2028 from US$ 74.48 million in 2021; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8.7% from 2021 to 2028.

Leukapheresis is a procedure that has white blood cells (leukocytes) involved in the body's immune response are segregated from a blood sample. It is a particular form of apheresis in which an element of blood, such as red blood cells or platelets, is obtained while the remaining blood is restored to circulation. Leukapheresis is often used to reduce very high white blood cell (WBC) counts, such as chronic blood cancers like chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). It can also be completed to obtain white blood cells for later transplant, such as to manage abrupt declines in WBC counts throughout cancer chemotherapy. Another use is as a section of a novel form of immunotherapy, termed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, to help fight leukemia, prostate cancer, and other forms of cancers. Leukapheresis can be completed on the person claiming treatment (autologous apheresis) or on a donor for a later transplant (allogeneic apheresis). Currently, leukapheresis is commonly used to treat various diseases, and it is also used for diagnostic purposes as it can increase circulating tumor cells yields. Factors such as the rising number of voluntary blood donors, increasing incidence of hematologic diseases, and surging elderly population are fueling the leukapheresis market growth. However, the high cost of leukapheresis obstructs the growth of the market to a certain extent.

Market Insights

Blood transfusion is an integral part of the national health infrastructure and policies of various countries. Advancements in the medical industry have led to improvements in the treatment procedures of serious illnesses and injuries, which eventually has propelled the need for blood transfusion for patients’ survival. Growing awareness regarding the importance of blood transfusion and blood availability in healthcare services has led to rise in the number of people willing to donate their blood for medical causes. As per the World Health Organization (WHO) data, ~117.4 million blood donations were reported worldwide in 2018. Blood donors are usually classified to be voluntary unpaid, paid, and family/replacement, and as per the WHO claims, voluntary/unpaid donors are the major source of a reliable and adequate supply of blood. According to WHO data in 2019, blood donations by voluntary unpaid donors increased by 11.6 million from 2008 to 2015 in 139 countries in the world. The trend of blood donation is also gaining significant prominence in low and middle-income countries. According to the data presented during the CAG annual meeting 2017, ~13,000 procedures were performed on 1,087 patients in 2016. The greatest surge in the number of voluntary blood donors was found in Southeast Asian countries (83%) and the Americas (70%).

National programs developed and rolled out in many countries are further attracting a large number of platelet and blood donors. For example, in India, the National Blood Transfusion Council (NBTC), constituted within the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO), is the central body that coordinates with the State Blood Transfusion Councils (SBTCs), established within State AIDS Control Societies (SACS). The NBTC supports health programs for various activities related to blood transfusion services (BTS). Thus, the rising number of eligible donors in different countries across the world is fostering the need for leukapheresis equipment that is used to separate the required blood components.
