Blood Group Typing Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Blood Group Typing Market Analysis

The Blood Group Typing Market size is estimated at USD 2.09 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 2.99 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 7.96% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

An increasing number of road accidents, emergencies, and trauma cases requiring blood transfusions and the need for blood grouping in pregnancy drive the market's growth. For instance, as per the article published in April 2022 in PubMed, determining the fetus rhesus blood group at risk of hemolytic disease has potential application for early non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT).

The study demonstrated the optimization of a real-time PCR assay for NIPT rhesus genotyping and the development of Bi-allelic short insertion/deletion polymorphisms (INDELs) as an internal control to optimize and validate rhesus genotyping based on Real-time PCR to avoid false or negative results. Hence, determining the fetus rhesus blood group at risk of hemolytic disease has potential application for early non-invasive prenatal testing, which is anticipated to raise the demand for blood group testing during pregnancy, thereby driving the market growth over the forecast period.

The increase in usage of blood group typing in forensic sciences and strict governing standards for blood transfusion are also boosting the global blood group typing market growth. Blood group typing is done to safely donate or receive a blood transfusion. It is also done to see if a person has a substance called Rh factor on the surface of red blood cells. There is a huge demand for blood typing products in the market owing to the rising number of road accidents and blood transfusions.

For instance, per the French Road Safety Observatory 2024 update, in 2023, police forces in mainland France recorded 235,000 road-related injury accidents, with 16,000 classified as serious. As accidents and injuries increase, the blood transfusion requirement is also raised, likely to boost the market growth.

Thus, due to the increase in demand for blood group typing in pregnancy and the rise in cases of road accidents, the market is anticipated to witness growth over the forecast period. However, poor blood service infrastructure and a lack of skilled professionals will likely hinder market growth over the forecast period.
