Autotransfusion Devices Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Product Type (Autotransfusion Systems and Consumables & Accessories), By Application (Cardiovascular Surgeries, Orthopedic Surgeries, Neurological Surgeries, Obstetrics & Gynecological Surgeries, and Others), By End-user (Hospitals and Specialty Clinics & Others), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The global autotransfusion devices market was valued at USD 279.9 million in 2023. The market is projected to grow from USD 293.6 million in 2024 to USD 447.5 million by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period. North America dominated the global autotransfusion devices market with a market share of 49.34% in 2023.

Autotransfusion devices are widely used to collect and reinfuse the patient’s blood. These systems play a major role in cell salvage techniques, enabling autologous blood transfusion to reduce the risk of infections associated with allogeneic blood transfusions. These devices find applications in cardiovascular, orthopedic, neurological, obstetrics & gynecological, and other invasive surgeries. As per the usability of systems, they can be categorized into intraoperative systems, post-operative systems, and dual-mode systems.

The increasing number of surgical procedures across the globe is anticipated to fuel the growth of the market during the forecast period. For instance, according to an article published by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 2020, about 310.0 million major surgeries are performed each year across the globe. Furthermore, around 40.0-50.0 million are performed in the U.S. and around 20.0 million in Europe. Moreover, aging population, increasing prevalence of chronic conditions, and the need for advanced blood management systems are expected to boost the global market growth during the forecast period.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the market growth. It showcased a huge decline in revenue due to a decline in the number of surgical procedures. In 2021 and 2022, the market recorded the revival of industry growth. The market is expected to grow exponentially over the forecast period.

Autotransfusion Devices Market Trends

Shift toward Autologous Blood Transfusion is a Prominent Trend

Over the past few years, the market has witnessed a potential shift toward autologous blood transfusion. Allogeneic blood transfusions are highly susceptible to cause adverse effects such as tumor recurrence, post-operative infections, acute lung injury, post-operative cardiac failures, and increased mortality. For instance, according to various patient-based studies, the prevalence of transfusion-associated circulatory overload (TACO) and transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is estimated to be around 1.0% and 0.1% transfusion cases in the U.S., respectively. Therefore, a shift of preference toward adopting cell salvage can drastically reduce the requirement of allogeneic blood transfusion, thereby lowering the risk of adverse complications.

For instance, according to an article published by the National Institutes of Health in 2022, about 50.0 to 60.0% of all transfusions take place in the surgical setting. Cell salvage is an efficient and cost-effective alternative to intraoperative and postoperative blood transfusions in intensive care medicine. Furthermore, its use in orthopedic patients, trauma patients, and cardiac surgery patients appears to be well-understood and feasible. This is projected to spur the market growth during the forecast period.

Autotransfusion Devices Market Growth Factors

Increasing Number of Surgical Procedures to Boost Market Growth

Intraoperative & post-operative cell salvage and blood transfusions are prime aspects of blood conservation during any surgical procedure. Additionally, the emphasis on avoiding complications associated with allogeneic transfusions and an increasing number of high-bleeding surgeries are projected to drive the growth of the global market during the forecast period.

• For instance, as per an article published by SeamlessMD in 2023, there are more than 138,000 hip and knee surgeries a year in Canada, according to the Canadian Institute for Health Information.

This, combined with the increasing awareness of intraoperative & post-operative blood salvage, is anticipated to offer substantial opportunity for the growth of the global market.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Surging Demand for Minimally Invasive Surgeries and Use of Hemostatic Devices to Hinder Growth

There is a gradual shift in patient preference from invasive surgeries to minimally invasive surgeries. Certain factors, such as decreased hospital stays, reduced cost, faster patient recovery, and superior patient comfort, are expected to increase the adoption of minimally invasive surgeries during the forecast period. The rising adoption of minimally invasive surgeries is eventually anticipated to reduce the need for blood conservation or allogeneic transfer as minimal blood is lost during these procedures.

For instance, according to an article published by the Journal of Cardiac Surgery in 2021, data was recorded in the medical records of 893 consecutive patients undergoing mitral valve reconstruction through a right mini-thoracotomy from 2010 to 2019. It was found that mitral valve surgery using a minimally invasive approach is a feasible treatment option for all-comers and is associated with excellent results. Additionally, adopting hemostatic devices to prevent heavy blood loss is expected to restrict the development of the global market.
