Increasing incidence of blood related disorders is expected to propel the growth of the global hematology market

Rising incidence of blood cancer is a major factor contributing to growth of the market. For instance, according to GLOBOCAN 2018, more than 1.85 million new blood cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed in 2040 across the globe.

Furthermore, according to the American Cancer Society, Non Hodgkin lymphoma is one of the more common types of cancer in the U.S., accounting for 4% of all cancer cases. An estimated 74,680 patients were diagnosed with Non Hodgkin lymphoma in the U.S. in 2018.

Moreover, increasing incidence of hemophilia and sickle-cell anemia is expected to drive growth of the global hematology market. For instance, according to the World Federation of Hemophilia’s (WFH) 2018 statistics, around 440,000 people had hemophilia, out of which around 173,000 people were diagnosed with hemophilia A or B in 2017 globally.

Furthermore, as per the World Health Organization, in 2018, the prevalence of anemia in children was around 45%, and 12% in men, and it is increasing rapidly all over the world.  Similarly, According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), anemia affects 30% of women in the reproductive age and 40% of pregnant women, globally.

Stringent regulatory and reimbursement policies on product launches, as well as product recalls due to safety violation are projected to hamper growth of the market over the forecast period.

For instance, in April 2017, Sysmex, a Japanese medical devices company recalled 3,682 XN Series Automated Hematology Analyzers, owing to increases in incidences of fire caused due to improper alignment of an internal protective sheet that protects electronic components from salty reagents used in hematological sample analysis.
