The Europe hematology analyzers and reagents market is expected to reach US$ 3,601.88 million by 2027 from US$ 2,037.24 million in 2019. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2020 to 2027.
The growth of this market can be attributed to key driving factors, such as rising demand for organ transplantation and increasing organic and inorganic strategies regarding hematology analyzers and reagents. However, the market growth is likely to be hindered owing to the recalls of damaged hematology analyzers and reagents by manufacturers.
According to statistics gathered by the German Organ Transplantation Foundation—on whose data all the following transplant numbers are based—9,000 people in Germany were waiting for an organ to become available in 2018. In 2019, 3,767 organs were transplanted in Germany, 574 of which were living-donor transplants. The majority of cases involved kidney transplants (56.6%), followed by liver transplants (22.1%) and similar rates of the lung (9.6%) and heart transplants (9.1%). Less common are transplantations of the pancreas (2.5%) and small intestine (0.1%). At the same time, transplant Anti-HLA alloantibodies play an essential role in several pathologic processes. In certain hematology patients, anti-HLA antibody testing is important for the appropriate selection of allogeneic HPC or platelet donors. Rising demand for organ transplantation is augmenting the growth of the hematology analyzers and reagents market.
Blood donation saves lives. European countries, amidst the coronavirus pandemic, majorly need blood. However, there exists a converse scenario in Europe as the number of people donating blood has dropped due to the fear of getting an infection. The blood services in the Europe continue to operate during the emergency situation for helping the patients with blood products every day. Large blood donation drives are usually conducted in universities, hospitals, and corporate offices. However, the shuttering of these organizations has created a significant dip in the number of blood donations within the region. The outbreak has severely hit countries, such as Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the UK. To respond to the pandemic, the majority of the healthcare research institutes and pharmaceutical companies are stepping forward to discover a therapeutic solution for the disease. Companies are now focusing on the development of the antibody-specific COVID-19 blood test. Rising number of blood tests performed for coronavirus diagnosis is likely to boost the demand for hematology analyzers and reagents in the region.
