The top three revenue contributing end-user segments are discussed below:
Global immunohematology market for hospitals
During 2015, hospitals accounted for more than 50% of the overall market shares of the global market for immunohematology. Large hospitals, such as multispecialty hospitals and hospital groups, procure medical products and consumables on bulk and engage closely with many suppliers, reimbursement authorities, and government organizations. They also have advanced medical infrastructure to cater to the needs of people. The adoption of immunohematology analyzers, instruments, and reagents in hospitals is projected to increase with the rising number of people getting admitted for surgical care.
“Molecular immunohematology is gaining traction in the global market. Molecular analysis helps in the detection of the molecular and genetic basis of any antigen to aid clinicians in understanding the molecular basis of blood group antigen and blood typing. Increasing adoption of serological typing and HLA typing in the global market is fueling the adoption of molecular immunohematology,” says Bharath Palada, a lead analyst at Technavio for research on in-vitro diagnostics.
Global immunohematology market for blood banks
Screening of donor blood tests, such as HIV, hepatitis, syphilis, and malaria, are the common tests performed in blood banks. At present, immunohematology is being used in the screening process of blood owing to unmet clinical demand and increasing cases of HIV and hepatitis. This simultaneously increases the number of blood donation in the market. During the forecast period, continuous involvement of non-profit organizations for blood transfusion and their efforts to improve blood safety is expected to propel the sales of immunohematology in the market.
Global immunohematology market for diagnostic laboratories
For immunohematology testing, diagnostic laboratories are segmented into two categories: clinical diagnostic laboratories and reference laboratories. Clinical diagnostic laboratories perform the test for individuals who are looking for disease diagnosis. These laboratories work in a single operation or are controlled by hospitals. For instance, Memorial Hermann has around 13 hospitals in Texas, US, which has more than 5,000 physicians and 24,000 employees. It has integrated lab services that provide comprehensive clinical testing of immunohematology in the lab.
Reference labs, on the other hand, offer to screen for tests, that are prescribed by physicians or hospitals. These laboratories provide reference testing of serology, type of extensive antigens present in blood, and molecular blood group determination. Reference laboratories in Singapore such as 24-hour Cross-Match Laboratory and Red Cell Reference Laboratory help to provide services to various hospitals. The 24-hour Cross-Match Laboratory provides full-time services to hospitals for ABO and Rh-type determination and pre-transfusion screening.
