Hematology Market

Global Hematology Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The global hematology market is forecasted to grow at a healthy CAGR of 8.2% from 2024 to 2029. As a result, the market size is estimated to grow from USD 9.86 billion in 2024 to USD 14.63 billion by 2029. 

Current Scenario of the Global Hematology Market

Hematology is a medical science branch concerned with diagnosing, treating, and studying blood and disorders associated with blood. It includes treating blood disorders such as leukemia, malignancies, hemophilia, sickle-cell anemia, and lymphoma. Hematology refers to the scientific branch of the study of blood, its diseases, treatments, and malignancies, including hemophilia, blood clots, leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and sickle-cell anemia. Among the hematology procedures, blood count or CBC is categorized as the most common test. The blood chemistry test, blood enzyme test, and blood tests to assess heart disease risk are examples of some more tests.

Market Drivers

The rising prevalence of blood disorders is majorly propelling the global hematology market growth.

Blood disorders have become a worldwide health issue with different causes and are related to high mortality. Blood disorders like anemia, blood cancer, hemorrhagic conditions, and blood infections affect people across all age groups annually. According to WHO, insufficient hemoglobin affects 75% of births globally, and sickle cell trait affects an estimated one in 12 African Americans. Over 70% of all sickle-cell-affected births occur in Africa. As per the WHO, the prevalence of anemia in children is 47% and 13% in men, and it is increasing rapidly worldwide. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), anemia affects 29% of women of reproductive age and 38% of pregnant women worldwide.

The rising number of blood donation camps worldwide is a significant factor promoting the growth of the hematology market. In addition, growing incidences of chronic diseases, the YOY rise in the geriatric population, and the increasing prevalence of point-of-care testing devices are anticipated to fuel the growth rate of the hematology market. Furthermore, with increasing support from the government through investments, people's interest in cost-effective diagnosis procedures favor the hematology market.

Due to the rising prevalence in the study of hematological malignancies, hemoglobinopathy, anemia, and coagulopathy, which are also regarded as the four main areas of study in hematology, as a result of increasing chronic disorders, it is expected to drive the hematology market. Among these, hemoglobinopathy is the most studied area, which involves the study of an abnormality in the globin chains of hemoglobin molecules, including sickle cell anemia and thalassemia, which are a part of hemoglobinopathy.

There has been a rise in hematologists globally due to their excellent counseling to patients, working closely with experts from various medical and surgical specialties, most commonly with oncologists, to provide intense care to adults and children for cancers of blood and bone marrow, leukemia, and lymphoma. They are also usually associated with pathologists, called hematopathologists or hematopathologists through specialization in diagnosing hematological diseases, who work together with hematologists to formulate diagnoses, such as for the treatment of bleeding disorders hemophilia and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, treatment of hematological malignancies, and the treatment of hemoglobinopathies bone marrow and stem cell transplantation. These factors are leading to the drive of the hematology market.

Market Restraints

However, the need for sufficient knowledge of the devices in rural areas is slowly hindering the growth of the hematology market. In addition, the high cost of installing and maintaining the equipment, especially in laboratories, is challenging for the hematology market.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global hematology market

The siege of the pandemic all over the globe impacted many businesses worldwide. Furthermore, implementing the lockdown resulted in further hindrances to management, and production lines, thus disrupting supply and demand chains. COVID-19 has favored the hematology market growth. A positive effect was observed concerning the impact of COVID-19 on the global hematology market due to frequent examination of patients' blood and utilizing hematology analyzers to test and monitor COVID-19. According to the International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, the specific tests following neutrophilia, leucocytosis, lymphopenia, and thrombocytopenia, played a significant role in findings in patients infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, thus becoming standard procedures, thereby providing a market for growth opportunities. COVID-19 infection primarily affects the respiratory system. The PCR tests are currently being used to detect an antigen's presence, with several stages at which errors may occur between sampling and analysis. The hematology analyzers help provide an accurate presentation of reactive lymphocytes that play a critical role in managing COVID-19 patients, which has accelerated the growth rate of the global hematology market. Some diagnoses of COVID-19 infection emphasize markers derived from the hematology laboratory; the U.S. and many other countries face a significant health concern with the coronavirus's current outbreak (COVID-19). However, COVID-19 has widened the growth scope for the global hematology market, and this market is expected to experience new growth heights soon.

SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS

Global Hematology Market – By Product

Based on the product, the hematology analyzers segment is the most promising and expected to register a healthy growth rate during the forecast period. Increasing incidences of road accidents due to a rise in the demand to store blood, which can be used in emergencies, significantly influences the market's growth. Hematology analyzers are used in the medical field to perform tests on blood samples for complete blood counts, coagulation tests, white blood cell counts, and reticulocyte analyses, which is helpful for research laboratories and veterinarians. Some allow choosing the preferred test type; others consider sample size, speed, type, and the number of test modes. They are called cell counters due to the counting of hematocrit and hematocrit levels, along with CBC.

The hematology cell counters segment is anticipated to account for a substantial market share during the forecast period owing to their wide adoption for diagnosing and monitoring most blood-related disorders. It is also called CBC and involves drawing blood by inserting a needle into a vein to let it into a tube.

The hemoglobinometers segment is foreseen to register a steady CAGR during the forecast period. These are used as a standard method for measuring the hemoglobin content of the blood. This device compares the color through light bypass over a hemolyzed blood sample.

Global Hematology Market - By Application

Based on the application, the infectious disease segment is predicted to lead the global hematology market during the forecast period due to the increasing incidences of various health disorders. Also, the rise in healthcare centers' spending further accelerates the segment's growth.
