Transplantation Market Size & Trends

The global transplantation market size was estimated at USD 15.0 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3% from 2023 to 2030. Growing demand for novel tissue transplantation products and organ transplantation for the treatment of organ failure is a major factor contributing to the market growth. Organ failure usually occurs due to various factors such as serious trauma, loss of blood, poisoning, drug abuse, leukemia, sepsis, and other acute diseases. Demand for tissue and organ transplantation, mainly kidney, heart, liver, and lungs, is very high globally. Unhealthy dietary habits, alcohol consumption, lack of exercise, and drug abuse are some leading causes of organ failure. Thus, demand for transplantation products is expected to rise soon.

After a transplantation surgery, the recipients are prescribed powerful immunosuppressive drugs; thus, increasing their susceptibility to infectious diseases as their immunity is weakened. This can be attributed to the decline in transplantation numbers in many countries amid the COVID-19 situation. Moreover, the shortage of resources such as primary protective equipment, ICU, and blood products during the pandemic has contributed to the sharp fall in the market’s revenue in 2020.
