COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT DEVICE MARKET ANALYSIS

The complete blood count (CBC) device is often used to screen for diseases as part of a medical assessment. It is useful in measuring the amounts of platelets, red and white blood cells, along with the hemoglobin and hematocrit values. By modality CBCs can be portable and stationary. Portable complete blood count devices are used to detect disorders including blood infection, anemia, and leukemia along with normal routine checkup of glucose in diabetic patients. Stationary complete blood count devices are mostly used in hospitals, diagnostics laboratories, and other large facilities to conduct multiple blood tests at a time.

The global complete blood count device market is estimated to be valued at US$ 3,642.9 million in 2021, and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 8.3% over the forecast period (2021-2028).

The increasing incidence of blood infection is expected to drive the growth of the global complete blood count device market over the forecast period.

For instance, according to the report published by World Health Organization in September 2020, sepsis kills 11 million people each year, globally. Moreover, sepsis occurs when chemicals released in the bloodstream to fight an infection trigger inflammation throughout the body. Thus, increasing incidence of severe blood infection is expected to increase the demand for white blood cell count (WBC or leukocyte count) test.

Moreover, according to the article published in the Journal of American Society for Nutrition, in May 2020, anemia prevalence was 22.8% globally, in 2019.

The increasing product launches by key players operating in the market is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period.

For instance, in February 2021, Beckman Coulter, a medical devices company, launched DxH 560 AL, a tabletop hematology analyzer designed to reduce the time and resource constraints faced by small to mid-sized diagnostic laboratories. Moreover, the DxH 560 AL delivers results in 60 seconds or less. It can be used with difficult-to-draw patients (infants, oncology, and elderly) because it only needs a 17 μL sample less than a drop of blood.

Global Complete Blood Count Device Market – Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

During this COVID-19 pandemic, pharmaceutical business, clinical tool companies and likewise biotechnology firms are facing difficulties that are occurring from the interruption in supply chains and the demand to transform service processes. One of the biggest challenges is supplying the raw materials required to manufacture the CBC devices due to irregularities in the transportation system.

Additionally, due to the increasing number of patients suffering from COVID-19 and other life-threatening illnesses, product distributors are seeing erratic demand for products from retailers. COVID-19 has impacted positively on the complete blood count device market as demand for CBC devices has increased. The complete blood count (CBC), which examines the quantity of red and white blood cells as well as other blood components, is a standard test used by clinicians to monitor patients. The CBC test is not used to diagnose COVID-19, but it is one of the tests used to examine the health of a patient who has been infected. For instance, in March 2020, Sight diagnostics, a blood diagnostics company, announced that Israel’s flagship government-run hospital Sheba Tel Hashomer was using Sight diagnostic’s OLO to conduct CBC tests to monitor and treat its COVID-19 patients.

Global Complete Blood Count Device Market - Restraint

High cost of CBC test & device are the factors that are expected to hinder growth of the global complete blood count device market over the forecast period. The cost of a CBC test can range anywhere between US$ 100 to over US$ 1,000 with or without insurance. The price depends on the type of test, location, and the type of insurance coverage.
