An organ transplant is a surgical procedure replacing a damaged organ with a healthy one. Diagnostics for organ transplants are clinical diagnostic methods that improve the efficacy of transplantation procedures. Constantly, transplant diagnostics are conducted both before and after transplants. It aids in analyzing the medical situation of the patient. In applications involving organ and blood stem cell transplantation, HLA typing is of the utmost importance. Organs transplanted successfully include the kidneys, heart, liver, lungs, pancreas, and bone marrow.
In the past decade, organ transplantation has expanded globally due to the rising prevalence of essential organ failure, the rising success of transplants, and the dramatic enhancement of post-transplant outcomes. According to a United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) 2020 research, clinicians in the United States performed 39,718 transplants involving organs from deceased and living donors. The number of organ transplant surgeries is increasing due to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases. The market for organ transplant diagnostics is likely to have enormous expansion over the coming decade, owing to the continuing and anticipated trend of an increasing number of transplant surgeries in significant countries across numerous geographies.
Increasing donor and recipient awareness of transplant procedures in high-potential regions is projected to provide opportunities for the organ transplant diagnostics industry. The government arranges annual donation awareness events in emerging economies on a specific date to increase public awareness. According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, 2020 Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA), the nation celebrates a national event on January 1 known as "Donate Life Float is a part of the Rose Parade," honoring the millions of people touched by organ donation, including donors, donor families, transplant awaiting candidates, and transplant recipients. In addition, the Donation and Transplant Institute Foundation collaborates with numerous diagnostic firms to enhance awareness of donation and transplantation.
North America is the most significant global organ transplant diagnostics market shareholder and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.29% over the forecast period. The market for organ transplant diagnostics in North America is projected to be driven by technological breakthroughs that expand and broaden the scope of precision diagnostics. Many advanced research and development efforts, mostly centered on improving the practical applicability of organ transplant diagnostics for donor screening and post-transplant care, have contributed to exploring new paths to better meet the needs of human health. Several legacy organ transplant diagnostics companies are also modernizing their portfolios to offer innovative products and services in North America. One Lamba, Inc. (a Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. subsidiary), CareDx, Inc., Abbott Laboratories, Eurofins Scientific, Quest Diagnostics Incorporated, Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, and ARUP Laboratories, Inc. are the legacy companies operating in the North American organ transplant diagnostics market. In addition, the increasing usage of molecular test technologies, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based organ transplant diagnostics products and services, is a significant factor in the region's market expansion.
Europe is anticipated to exhibit a CAGR of 11.19% over the forecast period. Numerous European nations, including Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, and Switzerland, consistently try to improve research initiatives in Europe's organ transplant diagnostics market. Due to substantial funding infusions, the region has long been at the forefront of research to develop high-fidelity transplant diagnoses worldwide. In addition, the region serves as the headquarters for most market leaders, including bioMérieux S.A., F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd., Novacyt Group, QIAGEN N.V., and JETA Molecular B.V. In addition, regional standardization and harmonization of clinical review protocols for a streamlined approval process by regulatory authorities contribute to the expansion of the industry. Increasing approvals of diagnostic products for organ transplantation in European nations also creates chances for regional market expansion.
