Organ Preservation Market Overview

Organ transplantation is considered the best therapeutic alternative in case of terminal organ failure. There is a steady rise in the number of candidates for transplantation due to the increasing incidence of chronic diseases and the rapidly growing aging population. Since organ preservation devices and solutions are needed to maintain the viability of the organs intended to be transplanted, the market for organ preservation is expected to significantly grow in the coming years. Moreover, the rising advancements in organ preservation techniques that help extend preservation times while maintaining organ quality are likely to augment the market demand. Increased public awareness about the importance and impact of organ donation is anticipated to bolster the market growth.

Organ Preservation Market Growth Drivers

Increasing Organ Donation and Transplants Set to Drive Market Growth

According to the preliminary data released by the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) , 16,335 individuals in the United States donated one or more organs upon death in 2023, which represented a 9.6% increase in donation compared to 2022. Further, it was reported that over 46,000 organ transplants were performed in 2023, with more than 10,000 liver transplants estimated to be performed for the first time. These annual record-setting trends in organ donation and transplantation in the United States are projected to contribute significantly to the market demand for effective organ preservation solutions and techniques.

Substantial Investments to Meet Rising Organ Preservation Market Demand

In July 2023, Oxford-based medical equipment manufacturer OrganOx secured a EUR 29 million  growth investment in a financing round led by healthcare-focused investment company Lauxera Capital Partners. The investment is aimed at boosting the development and commercialization of its organ preservation and transplantation devices. The company’s device metra is FDA-approved to preserve the liver by recreating an environment for the recovered organ that simulates the human body. OrganOX intends to leverage this investment to expand its market presence, establish new manufacturing centers, and conduct post-market clinical evaluations. Such substantial investments in the companies engaged in organ preservation are likely to propel the market growth.

Organ Preservation Market Trends

The market is witnessing several trends and developments to improve the current global scenario. Some of the notable trends are as follows:

Advancements in Organ Preservation Techniques to Affect the Market Landscape

The rising advancement in preservation techniques such as hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) and normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) is a significant market trend that has optimized the preservation process of donor organs. Such technologies ensure that the viability of organs remains for longer periods, thereby contributing to market growth.

Increased Government and Non-Profit Initiatives Likely to Elevate the Organ Preservation Market Value

One of the major market trends is the increased initiatives by governments and non-profit organizations to promote organ donation among the public through awareness campaigns, educational programs, and policy initiatives. Such efforts often lead to a higher number of individuals willing to donate their organs, which ultimately elevates the market value.

Efforts to Simplify the Donation Process are Expected to Impact Market Growth

Increased efforts to simplify the organ donation process is a major trend that is expected to drive market growth. This trend includes initiatives that make the process of registering as an organ donor easy and accessible such as by implementing online registration systems. Such streamlined registration processes are anticipated to encourage more organ donations which will also increase the demand for organ preservation solutions.

Improvements in Donation and Transplantation Infrastructure Poised to Boost Organ Preservation Market Size

The market is witnessing improvements in the infrastructure for organ donation and transplantation. This facilitates better coordination between organ donation organizations and transplant centers. Upgraded transplant centers have the ability to handle complex transplant procedures and have the required technology to provide specialized care to both donors and recipients. Such developments are likely to improve the success rates of organ transplants and boost the market size.
