Leukapheresis Products Market Share

Global Leukapheresis Products Market Overview

Leukapheresis products market is expected to reach USD 27.1 million at a CAGR 7.8% during the forecast period 2023-2032. Leukapheresis is a blood therapy that removes aberrant white blood cells (WBCs). 

Leukemia can be treated using leukapheresis, or it can be utilized as the initial stage in CAR T-cell therapy. The rising number of blood donors, the rising prevalence of leukemia, and the demand for leukapheresis products in clinical trials are all expected to drive the market forward. The high cost of therapeutic leukapheresis, a scarcity of qualified experts, and strict donor recruitment requirements, on the other hand, may limit market expansion over the projection period. Despite its therapeutic potential, leukapheresis is currently a rare treatment option, especially for hyperleukocytosis leukemia. 

January 2023: Sanguine Biosciences, a pioneer in the connection of patients with biopharmaceutical companies to expedite precision medicine R&D and Cell & Gene Therapy, today announced a new investment from BroadOak Capital Partners, LLC, a prominent direct investment and advisory firm that specializes in life science research tools, pharmaceutical services, and diagnostics. Sanguine's laboratory operations, leukapheresis offerings, and patient donor network are all enhanced by the partnership with BroadOak.  

Sanguine introduced a new apheresis product family in October 2022, which offers researchers a substantial quantity of immune and hematopoietic stem cells from single donors with confirmed disease. The offering addresses a significant unmet need in the field of life science research and development, with a particular emphasis on the high-growth and high-impact cell and gene therapy sector. Biopharmaceutical researchers employ human biospecimens for biomarker development, which can result in innovative clinical applications as a result of the translation of bench discoveries into bedside treatments for patients. 

However, the procurement and processing of pertinent patient samples for research purposes are complicated by the complexity of biologic- and cell-based therapies. Through partnerships with patient advocacy groups and a comprehensive recruitment apparatus, Sanguine Biosciences simplifies this process and provides researchers with access to a diverse, nationwide network of over 60,000 patient donors.

February 2021: Lonza has expanded its renowned human primary cell offerings with the introduction of high-quality cryopreserved Leukopaks that are entirely customizable. Leukopaks that are frozen will facilitate the long-distance shipment of leukapheresis products without the potential for diminished cell viability that is a concern with fresh Leukopaks. The cryopreserved Leukopaks are designed for long-term storage in research laboratories, and they also provide immediate access to viable cells, thereby enhancing workflow flexibility and convenience. The cryopreserved Leukopaks are available in a variety of sizes, and a distinctive costing structure enables customers to only pay for the customization that is required. 

Additionally, customers have access to a variety of donor characteristics and testing options. A Leukopak is a product that is enriched through leukapheresis and contains high concentrations of peripheral blood mononuclear cells, including T cells, B cells, and monocytes. Before progressing to full clinical manufacturing, these cells are a critical raw material in immunotherapy research and for optimizing the development of the cell therapy process. Nevertheless, it can be challenging to obtain fresh Leukopaks and they must be used promptly to prevent cell degradation. 

Therapeutic leukapheresis in the treatment of pediatric patients, on the other hand, is becoming a hot topic among industry participants. This is primarily due to the negative effects and hazards of traditional treatments for children, such as chemotherapy. Leukapheresis can be used to treat or remove excess WBCs in children with lymphoma, as well as to collect stem cells from children for other cancer patients. The possibilities and benefits of leukapheresis in this application make it a market focus, especially as only a few hospitals in both developed and emerging economies presently provide leukapheresis treatment for children.
