Tissue and organ transplantation market is estimated to witness high growth, owing to increasing organ donations & growing government support
Tissue and organ transplantation market is estimated to be valued at USD 17.11 Bn in 2024, exhibiting a CAGR of 9.4% over the forecast period 2024-2031. The market growth is driven by factors such as increasing organ donations and growing government support worldwide for organ transplantation programs. Furthermore, technological advancements in tissue and organ transplantation procedures can also drive the market growth.
Market Dynamics:
Global tissue and organ transplantation market growth is driven by increasing organ donations and growing government support. There has been increase in organ donation rates in the recent years, owing to various government initiatives and awareness campaigns encouraging people to donate organs and tissues. Governments across countries are allocating higher healthcare budgets for transplantation programs, in order to bridge the gap between organ demand and supply. Vendors are investing in R&D to develop innovative transplant products such as bioengineered organs, which can help address the organ shortage issue. Novel technologies such as 3D bioprinting of tissues and organs can transform the field of transplantation in the near future.
Increasing Prevalence of Chronic Diseases
Rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and kidney failures has significantly boosted demand for tissue and organ transplantation globally. According to the data published by WHO, cancer caused over 10 million deaths in 2020 worldwide. Chronic diseases diminish the functioning of vital organs over time, which eventually require transplantation.
Advancements in Transplantation Procedures
Significant advancements in transplantation techniques and procedures have improved outcomes for patients. Developments such as minimal invasive transplantation surgeries, living donor organ transplantation, use of robotic arms for surgeries, and non-heart beating organ donation methods have enhanced success rates. The market has also witnessed innovations like vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) which allow transplantation of complex tissues like hands. Such technological enhancements are positively impacting the market growth by increasing access to life-saving transplant procedures.
Shortage of Donated Organs
Shortage of organ donors can hamper the market growth. As per estimates, over 100,000 patients in the U.S. are currently on the waiting list for organ transplants, owing to insufficient supply. This shortage of donated organs has led to death of many people. It is further exacerbated by legal and ethical issues surrounding organ donation practices in various regions.
High Cost of Transplantation Procedures
Organ and tissue transplant procedures involve substantial financial costs for procurement, storage, surgery, drugs, and lifetime post-transplantation care. The average total cost ranges anywhere between US$ 200,000 to US$ 1,000,000 for a single procedure. This makes transplantation unaffordable for many patients globally.
Growing Awareness About Organ Donation
Various awareness campaigns by governments and NGOs encourages people to register as organ donors. Initiatives like organ donor cards and online donor registries have helped enhance signing up rates. Celebrity endorsements promoting organ donation as the most noble act positively influences people. As a result of focused efforts, transplant programs across many countries are observing rise in actual organ donations meeting.
Emergence of Regenerative Medicine
Advancements in regenerative medicine sciences have allowed production of transplantable organs and tissues in laboratories. Research is ongoing in techniques like organ bioprinting, stem cell therapy, tissue engineering, and development of artificial organs. Successful trials show potential to address organ shortage issue in the near future. Wide acceptance of regenerative approaches can offer market growth opportunities.
