Blood Transfusion Diagnostics Market

Blood Transfusion Diagnostics Market Outlook (2025 to 2035)

The blood transfusion diagnostics market is anticipated to reach a value of USD 4,823.4 million in 2025. Fact.MR forecasts that the global blood transfusion diagnostics market will grow at a CAGR of 6.1%, reaching USD 8,755.2 million by 2035. The industry is growing mainly due to a growing need for safe blood screening procedures, the rising rate of chronic diseases, and increasing global attempts to enhance transfusion-related healthcare facilities.

Increases in healthcare spending in developing countries, coupled with growing awareness of transfusion-transmitted diseases (TTDs), are driving the uptake of strong diagnostic solutions. Governments and NGOs are increasingly funding national blood screening programs, while regulatory agencies are enforcing stricter standards for nucleic acid testing (NAT), antibody screening, and next-generation immunohematology platforms.

Technological innovations-automated analyzers, molecular diagnostic platforms, and artificial intelligence-driven decision-support systems-are revolutionizing conventional blood test laboratory workflows. These instruments deliver improved speed, accuracy, and standardization with less possibility of human error and safer transfusion practices. Concomitantly, the implementation of cloud-based information systems is enabling centralized tracking and traceability between blood banks and networked hospitals.

North America is still the leading region because of its sophisticated healthcare infrastructure, high levels of awareness, and regulatory standards. But Asia-Pacific is the rising star with the fastest growth, driven by increasing access to healthcare, increasing disease burdens, and strategic alliances with an emphasis on enhancing transfusion safety. Europe continues to grow steadily, supported by institutional backing for pathogen reduction technologies and automation.

Since blood transfusion continues to be an integral part of healthcare service delivery, particularly in oncology, trauma care, and maternal care, demand for precise diagnostics is anticipated to gain pace. Players in the industry will have to put value on innovation, scalability, and cost-effectiveness in order to address the changing needs of mature and developing markets.

Segment-wise Analysis

By Product Type

The blood transfusion diagnostics market is segmented by product type under two main categories: instruments and kits & reagents. Kits and reagents are expected to hold a 60% revenue share, while instruments will have a 40% share.

The kits and reagents play a vital role in transfusion diagnostics, as these are used for the testing and screening of blood against different infections, blood typing, crossmatching, and compatibility for transfusions. Such products give the feeling of convenience and reliability, mostly in pre-packaged diagnostic tests.

In many clinical and laboratory settings, they have become a preference because of ease of use, accuracy, and rapid turnaround time. Major players in this segment include Thermo Fisher Scientific, Roche Diagnostics, and Abbott Laboratories, with a full range of kits and reagents available for many blood tests. For example, Thermo Fisher provides a range of blood typing and screening reagents, which are essential for ensuring blood compatibility and preventing transfusion reactions.

Instruments used in blood transfusion diagnostics serve in doing blood tests and diagnostic procedures, including hematology analyzers, blood gas analyzers, and immunohematology. These instruments help laboratories perform complex tests in a highly precise and efficient manner. Further, the requirement for increased automation and systems that could run multiple tests with less human intervention is driving the growth of this segment.

Beckman Coulter and Ortho Clinical Diagnostics are the leaders in this category for manufacturers offering advanced diagnostic instruments for blood screening and typing. The Beckman Coulter AC/T™ 5diff Hematology Analyzer is another important contributor to transfusion diagnostics by providing rapid, accurate cell counting.

By Application

The blood transfusion diagnostics market is further segmented by application into disease screening and blood grouping. Disease Screening is expected to hold a share of 50%, while blood grouping is expected to gain a share of 30%.

Disease screening plays a significant role in blood transfusion diagnostics markets, in which the detection of infectious diseases such as HIV, hepatitis, and syphilis in the donated blood is crucial for safety against transmission of diseased blood through transfusion.

Growing awareness for blood product safety and an increasing number of blood donations globally are some of the factors contributing to the demand for disease screening. Some leaders providing advanced diagnostic technologies for disease screening are Abbott Laboratories, Roche Diagnostics, and Siemens Healthineers. For example, Abbott has launched the Alinity System for blood donations, which is a high-throughput testing system ensuring safe blood transfusions free from infectious diseases.

Blood grouping determines the compatibility of blood for transfusions. Matching of blood types is achieved to ascertain that a patient has blood of the correct type according to the donor's blood type (A, B, AB, or O) and Rh factor (positive or negative). Blood grouping is a very important process to avoid transfusion reactions and make a convenient and effective application of blood products. Instruments and reagents for blood typing and crossmatching are crucial constituents of this application.

The main players in this segment are Ortho Clinical Diagnostics and Thermo Fisher Scientific, which offer a range of reagents and blood typing instruments. For instance, Thermo Fisher's Immucor® SureID™ blood typing system is a reliable source of accurate results for blood grouping and compatibility testing.
