Market Dynamics

Driving Factors

  • Inflating Incidences of Organ Failure

Some of the causes of organ failure are severe trauma, sepsis, loss of blood, poisoning, drug abuse, leukemia, and other acute illnesses. Severe organ failure is associated with critical illnesses related to the degradation of organ functioning. Obesity, alcohol and drug abuse, and smoking may lead to such conditions, ultimately resulting in organ failure. Accordingly, the global demand for tissue and organ transplantation is very high, mainly for bone marrow, heart, liver, kidney, and lungs. An increase in the number of acute illnesses and a rise in the number of geriatric population are factors leading to a surge in organ failures globally, therefore driving demand for organ transplantation procedures.

  • Development of Tissue Banks

Tissue banks are institutions that recover and store human cadaver tissues for medical research and education. With an increase in demand for tissue transplantation, the demand for tissue banks providing services like assessing donor suitability, processing, recovery, storage, labeling, and delivery of tissues has increased considerably. Tissue banks primarily use low-temperature storage to maintain and store tissues under ideal conditions. 

Also, advances in technology and instruments, including centrifuge and cryopreservation systems, facilitate efficient preservation of the tissue. In addition, computerized support systems with advanced hardware and software allow maintenance of the tissues more quickly with high efficiency. Therefore, with these developments seen in tissue banks, the storage and retrieval of organs have become relatively easier, thereby propelling the growth of the organ transplantation market.

  • Technological Advancements in Organ Transplant Methods

Advanced technologies have led to an evolution in organ transplantation techniques and procedures, which is expected to propel market growth. Novel and improved transplantation products, including tissue products, tissue typing technology, and surgical medical instruments can be attributed to market expansion. Developments in PCR technique, such as improvements in system design and advanced assays, provide high precision and effectiveness in tissue typing.

Further, technical advances in the field of 3D bioprinting are also boosting the adoption of organ transplantation. The continuous shortage of organ donors and the increasing number of patients on the waiting list for organ transplants have increased the demand for 3D bioprinting. These techniques are used to create customized prosthetics, fabricate tissue, and support transplantation through synthetic models.

Improving organ preservation facilities is also boosting the demand for these procedures. Preservation of organs is of paramount importance during transplantation surgery. Change in donor demography directly impacts the outcome of procedures. Organ preservation is a “supply line” for organ transplantation. The best method to use a preserved organ is based on the suppression of metabolism by hypothermia. Consequently, the introduction of such advanced techniques has led to the growth of the transplantation market, driving the number of organ transplant procedures globally.

Restraining Factors

  • High Probability of Transplant Rejection

Transplant rejection is a process in which the receiver’s immune system attacks the transplanted organ or tissue, identifying the transplanted organ or tissue to be foreign. Typically, three types of rejections are reported—hyper-acute rejection, acute rejection, and chronic rejection. Despite donor matching, tissue typing, and usage of immunosuppressants, there are instances where transplants are rejected by an individual’s body, resulting in failure of the organ transplanted. Not adhering to immunosuppressive drugs is one of the primary reasons for transplant rejection. Possible complications due to transplant rejection are certain types of cancers, infections, loss of function in transplanted tissue or organ, and severe side effects due to inappropriate medicinal dosages.

What Are Future Key Opportunities in Transplantation Market

  • Artificial Organs and Immunosuppressive Drugs to Create New Opportunities for the Transplantation Market

Immunosuppressive drugs are used on a large scale in transplant procedures and are vital in preventing organ rejections. Therefore, the segment is expected to grow at a steady rate. The advent of ortho-biologics has driven the segment considerably in the past few years and is likely to proliferate in the near future. Hence, immunosuppressive drugs provide lucrative opportunities for the market of transplantation to grow. 

Similarly, the availability of artificial organs is also boosting the transplantation market growth. Different types of artificial organs are available in the market. Based on material, these artificial organs are classified into mechanical, biomechanical, and biological. Mechanical organs are made up of inanimate polymers, such as plastic or metals. Biomechanical organs are made up of living cells and inanimate polymers. Biological (bioartificial) organs are made up of living cells and are biodegradable. 

Segmental Analysis

The global transplantation market is segmented by product, application, end-user, and region. 

Based on product, the global market of transplantation is segmented into immunosuppressive drugs, tissue products, and preservation solutions. The tissue products market was valued at USD 7,528.3 million in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.2% from 2022 to 2030 to reach an estimated value of USD 16,691.2 million by 2030. The tissue products segment held the highest revenue in 2021, owing to the increased adoption and availability of these products for the treatment of organ or tissue transplantation. The increasing number of transplantation procedures such as cochlear, heart valves, bone marrow, and orthopedic soft tissues is attributed to the growth of the segment. In addition, new product development is also fueling market growth.

Based on application, the global market transplantation is segmented into tissue transplantation and organ transplantation. Tissue transplantation dominated the market, valued at USD 7,907.3 million in 2021. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.7% from 2022 to 2030 to reach an estimated value of USD 18,267.0 million by 2030. The increasing number of accidents is expected to boost the demand for tissue products. According to the CDC, in 2017, there were 139 million emergency department visits in the US.

The transplantation centers segment is expected to witness the highest growth rate during the forecast period. They are engaged explicitly in transplant surgeries and raise awareness about organ transplantation to encourage organ donation.

Impact of covid-19

The rapid breakout of coronavirus at the start of 2019 has thrown the worldwide healthcare system into disarray. Due to the large number of coronavirus patients admitted to public and private institutions, governing bodies have been forced to postpone elective and non-urgent surgery in hospitals and ambulatory care facilities. The pandemic also resulted in a decline in organ transplant surgery registrations worldwide. 

The decrease in transplantation and organ donation procedures is mainly due to the unavailability of resources, engaged surgeons, lockdown, and travel restrictions. Patients with positive reports for COVID-19 are refrained from donating organs due to the possibilities of infection. In addition, possible drug interaction of immunosuppressant drugs with COVID-19 treatment drugs is also one of the prime factors affecting the transplantation procedures. It has also resulted in many organ rejections from transplant donors.

Market Recovery Timeline

Markets have suffered huge losses due to the pandemic, leading the world into financial crises. The COVID-19 outbreak has led to drastic changes, and the long-term impact of the pandemic is disturbing. According to the World Economic Forum, it could take up to 3 years to recover from the COVID-19 crisis. Nonetheless, the market of transplantation is likely to gain momentum after a significant decrease in the caseloads of coronavirus patients.
