Market Dynamics

What is the Future of the Blood Plasma Freezer Market?

The market future is promising, driven by advancements in cryopreservation and real-time tracking. There have been significant strides in cryopreservation technology, such as temperature control and the development of cryopreservatives. Advanced freezers are made with digital displays, providing chemical information, temperature, and other details. AI-based sensors can detect temperature fluctuations and provide real-time updates to the concerned authority. Advanced freezers can also respond to a power cut and can remain on with in-built cooling technology.

Growing Need for Transfusion Services

The blood plasma freezer market is driven by the rising demand for blood and blood components and is anticipated to expand in the future as blood transfusion is required in complex medical and surgical interventions, which significantly improves the quality of life and increases the life expectancy of a patient. The clinical demand for blood and blood components is rising in healthcare facilities due to the need for timely availability of blood in case of emergency or selected procedure. Additionally, in the coming future, blood transfusion procedures will continue to grow with more focus on safety. The development of artificial blood from culture plates is expected to be witnessed. These genetically modified blood cells will be developed in the laboratories with the guidance of experts. In the next 10-15 years, there will not be any risk of transfusion, a neutral blood group, and no fear of alloimmunization.

For Instance,

  • In June 2024, the All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) performed India’s First and eighth global fetal blood transfusion procedure to save a child with a rare disorder. Due to the incompatibility between the RBCs of the mother and the baby led to complications. The mother was negative for Rh 17 antigen, which is rare to find, and due to the incompatibility, the baby developed anemia. Doctors were successful in saving both the mother and the baby.

Lack of Awareness about Blood Donation

Lack of awareness about blood donation restrains the blood plasma freezer market growth. Donated blood is essential for patients undergoing surgery, cancer treatment, traumatic injuries, accidents, chronic illnesses, and many more. This lack of awareness about blood donation is creating a hindrance to running out of resources and being unable to save lives and provide proper treatment. According to Red Cross Blood Donation, out of 38% of people in the U.S. eligible to donate blood, only 3 % donate. Due to this ratio, the supply never meets the required demand. As per the American Cancer Society, more than 1.9 million people were diagnosed with cancer in 2023 who needed blood during their chemotherapy treatment. As a result, people need to be educated about the benefits of blood donation; otherwise, this will continue to slow the blood plasma market growth.

For instance,

  • In October 2024, Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Science (RMLIMS) organized a candlelight rally to promote awareness of blood donation. The State Blood Transfusion Council emphasized the importance of regular blood donation.
