Growing Demand for Blood & Blood Transfusion will Offer Lucrative Opportunities for Industry Players

Blood transfusion is considered as a supportive treatment for surgery, chemotherapy and organ transplantation, as well as the treatment of acute and chronic diseases. Blood loss is caused by a variety of diseases and situations. Anaemia affects 25% of the world's population or 1.6 billion people, according to the WHO. Each year, an estimated 1.2 million individuals die and 50 million are injured in traffic accidents around the world. Global demand for ULT freezers is expected to grow in order to save people from dying from blood loss. As reported by the Population Reference Bureau (PRB), about half of the nearly 120 million women who give birth each year have a complication during their pregnancy, and between 15 million and 20 million develop disabilities such as severe anaemia, damage to the reproductive organs or some other condition.

However, this increases the need for blood transfusions. ULT freezers are essential for ensuring the secure storage of blood as well as its components while complying to strict regulations. Viral infections and other diseses seeks immunisations had a significant influence on market growth since ultra-low temperature freezers were crucial in the storage and delivery of huge numbers of vaccinations that require ultra-cold conditions. According to World Health Organization data, vaccine storage capacity grew over 9 million in September 2023 owing to ultra-low temperature freezers.

Increased Awareness of Organ Donation & Demand for Donor Organs Fuel Market Growth

Rising investment in R&D in life sciences such as child drugs, vaccine and others is expected to boost market expansion. Moreover, the increasing adoption of modified medicines is likely to boost investments in life science, increasing demand for these freezers. Similarly, rising demand for pharmaceutical storage equipment from blood donations, academic & research organisations and hospitals is another major driver driving up investments in life science research. Also, the growth in incidence of organ failure in chronic disease patients has increased demand for organ donation.

According to the Health Resources and Services Administration, there are 105,800 men, women and children on the national transplant waiting list, with 17 people dying each day while waiting an organ transplant. In 2023, the United States government invested more than US$ 129 million to improve healthcare in rural America, creating novel opportunities for segment growth. Meanwhile, the favourable regulatory environment is expected to increase the usage of ULT freezers. Additionally, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases in the world has increased demand for ULT freezers for the storage of medical devices and samples. According to the CDS, more than 20.1 million Americans have coronary artery disease. The market is therefore anticipated to increase throughout the forecast period as a result of the aforementioned factors.

High Initial Investment Required to Develop ULT Freezers May Limit Growth

The ultra-low temperature freezer market faces significant challenges due to the high capital investment needed for facility setup, which could restrict overall market expansion. These freezers also demand regular, costly maintenance to ensure effective and safe operation, placing a financial burden on end-users. Additionally, a shortage of qualified personnel skilled in operating these sophisticated devices further impedes market growth. Stringent and increasingly restrictive FDA regulations add another layer of complexity, making compliance difficult and potentially stalling market progress. These factors collectively contribute to a constrained growth outlook for the global ultra-low freezer market.

Additionally, the lack of trained professionals to operate and maintain complex ultra-low temperature freezers hinders the market. Specialized training and expertise are needed to manage the complex controls and carry out essential maintenance on these advanced freezers. This shortage of skilled staff not only hinders the efficient utilization of these sophisticated equipment but also impacts their maximum performance and dependability. Consequently, end-user organizations encounter difficulties in maximizing the technology, causing inefficiencies and potentially impeding overall market expansion. Targeted training programs are crucial for market advancement in order to tackle this shortage.

Product Development by Global Leaders to Address Increasing Demand by Pharmaceuticals, Uplifts Market Expansion

Increasing need for dependable storage options in research, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology is propelling the ultra-low temperature freezer market.
