01 Shift toward Automated Blood Collection and Processing Systems One of the key trends shaping the global blood products market is the increasing shift toward automated blood collection and processing systems. Automation enhances efficiency, reduces human error, and improves the overall safety and quality of blood products. These systems also support higher throughput, which is essential for meeting the rising demand for blood components in hospitals and diagnostic centres. For instance, in October 2024, Terumo Blood and Cell Technologies introduced the Reveos™ Automated Blood Processing System in the U.S., marking the first whole blood automation device approved by the FDA. This system streamlines the separation of whole blood into components platelets, plasma, and red blood cells in a single centrifugation cycle, reducing manual steps by up to 65% and enhancing operational efficiency. As healthcare providers seek scalable and reliable solutions, the adoption of such automated systems is expected to accelerate globally.
