Global Leukapheresis Devices Market– Driver

Increasing incidence of leukemia

Increasing incidence of leukemia is expected to propel growth of the  global leukapheresis devices market over the forecast period. For instance, according to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (2020), every 3 minutes, one person in the U.S. is diagnosed with blood cancer. According to the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR), in 2022, the country is estimated to record 6,660 cases of acute lymphocytic leukemia. According to the American Cancer Society, 60,530 were diagnosed with leukemia in 2020.

Increasing number of blood donations

Increasing number of blood donations can also drive the leukapheresis devices market growth. For instance, according to an article published in World Health Orgnisation in June 2023, reported  79 countries collect over 90% of its blood supply from voluntary unpaid blood donors; however, 54 countries collect more than 50% of its blood supply from family/replacement globally.

Global Leukapheresis Devices Market- Regional Analysis

Among regions, North America is estimated to hold a dominant position in the global leukapheresis devices market over the forecast period. North America is estimated to hold 38.3% of the market share North America holds a significant market share in the leukapheresis devices market worldwide, mainly due to the key market players are focusing on organic statergies such as launch of novel leukapheresis devices. For instance, in June 2021, OrganaBio, LLC, a biotechnology company in U.S., announced the launch of adult peripheral blood-derived products, including vialed peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and whole leukopaks (LeukoPAC). These products contain high concentrations of PBMCs, such as T cells, NK cells, B cells and monocytes, which are critical raw materials for immunotherapy research and allogeneic cell therapy development and manufacturing. OrganaBio’s unique supply chain and manufacturing capabilities enable it to process PBMCs within hours of collection to ensure delivery of high-quality starting material to researchers and therapeutics developers.

Global Leukapheresis Devices Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease spread to over 100 countries across the globe, and the World Health Organization declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.

COVID-19 affected the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting the production and demand of drugs, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to nationwide lockdowns, several countries such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E., Egypt, and others are facing problems with the transportation of drugs from one place to another.

However, The COVID-19 pandemic positively impacted the market as leukapheresis is a laboratory procedure in which white blood cells, including leukemia cells, are separated from the blood. One symptom of COVID-19 is a reduction in the number of cells called lymphocytes in the blood. Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell that fights infections. With fewer lymphocytes, the body cannot effectively fight back against SARS CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. In May 2020, the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) And (National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), initiated a clinical study to identify how SARS-CoV-2 affects lymphocytes, the immune, and the blood clotting system using the leukapheresis technique by collecting white blood cells from the patients who recovered from COVID-19. Currently, the study is enrolling participants and being conducted at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital and the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center in U.S.

*Defination: Leukapheresis is a process in which white blood cells are separated from a sample of blood. It is a specific type of apheresis used for separating a particular constituent of blood and returning the remaining part to the circulation. Leukapheresis is distinctly different from plasmapheresis and red cell exchange procedures.
