Transplant Diagnostics Market Trends
- Rising prevalence of chronic diseases to drive market growth
Globally, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases is subsequently increasing the incidence of organ failure, further surging the need for organ transplants. The Organ Donor states that over 1 million tissue transplants are performed every year. The geriatric population is highly susceptible to chronic diseases, which further increases the need for organ transplantation. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), by 2050, the world’s population aged 60 and older is expected to reach 2 billion, from 900 million in 2015.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is highly prevalent and the leading cause of kidney transplantation procedures. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) states that about 661,000 Americans have Kidney failure. About 468,000 people are on dialysis, and roughly 193,000 people live with a kidney transplant.
Moreover, one of the main factors further driving the expansion of the market under study is the increase in organ donation. In January 2021, more than 12,500 people donated one or more organs in 2020, up 6% from the year before, according to figures released by the Association of Organ Procurement Organizations (AOPO).
Increased transplant diagnostic testing will result from increased organ donation, propelling industry growth. Additionally, several significant players are releasing new products on the market, which is anticipated to further fuel market revenue. For instance, in September 2021, Thermo Fisher Scientific added two new products to its range of transplant diagnostics during the American Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics (ASHI) annual meeting.
