Blood: The Worldwide Market for Blood Products, Blood Testing, Blood Equipment, and Synthetic Blood Products
LONDON, Feb. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Kalorama Information's Blood: The Worldwide Market for Blood Products, Blood Testing, Blood Equipment, and Synthetic Blood Products provides an analysis of all the key market segments involved in this industry, including products, equipment and testing.
There is an expanding market for human blood and blood components as a result of the growing and aging populations, particularly in the developed nations. While some countries such as India and the Philippines set prices for blood and blood components, in many of the developed nations including the U.S., there is no uniform, fixed price for blood. Rather, the cost varies from country to country and region to region, with even nearby centers often charging different prices and fluctuations often occurring.
Blood products covered in the report include:
Red Blood Cells (RBCs)
Immunoglobulins
Albumin
Other Plasma Products
Synthetic HBOC and PFC Agents
Recombinant Factors
Although the blood supplies in the developed nations are, to a very high degree, free of disease-causing viruses, the risk of transfusion-related infection is nonetheless present. Because these supplies contain human blood, achieving 100% virus eradication is unlikely. A variety of infectious agents can be present in blood, including viruses (e.g., HIV-1, hepatitis B and C, HTLV, West Nile virus), bacteria, protozoans, Chagas disease, Lyme Disease and prions (e.g., the agent of variant Crueutzfeldt-Jakob disease, which is the human form of mad cow disease). Nonetheless, blood safety is relatively high, due to the widespread usage of blood testing. As of 2014, the main residual risk is due to hepatitis B virus - ranging from 10 in Spain to 1.6 per million donations in France and Germany.
Testing markets covered include:
Blood Banking and Plasmapheresis Testing
Blood Typing
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Testing
