Global Pathogen Reduction Systems Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

Pathogen Reduction Systems Market Overview

Pathogens are microorganisms that can potentially cause infections and diseases in the human body. Pathogen reduction system refers to the processes and technologies that are used to decontaminate blood and blood products, thereby preventing the spread of infections from the unfiltered blood to the other individual upon transfusion. There are various methods of pathogen reduction which include ultraviolet (UV) light, filtration treatments, and photochemical treatments. UV light and photochemical treatments damage the nucleic acid of the bacteria making them inactive. Blood and blood products can also be passed through the bacterial filters with a pore size that would not allow the pathogens to pass through it.
 
The COVID-19 pandemic has increased awareness about pathogen-transmitted infections and the importance of blood safety and infection-curbing measures. This has fuelled the demand for the pathogen reduction systems market in the past few years. The market growth is also driven by the increasing prevalence of infectious diseases, rising awareness about the infections caused during transfusions, and blood safety regulations. Technological advances in this field have led to the development of systems that destroy pathogens in blood products without compromising the properties of blood and its components. Thus, the rising investment in innovative and technologically advanced products is poised to impact market dynamics.

Pathogen Reduction Systems Market Growth Drivers

Growing Number of Blood Donations and Transfusions Driving the Market Growth

According to the World Health Organization (WHO ), around 118.5 million blood donations are collected worldwide, out of which around 40% are collected in high-income countries. The most frequently transfused group in high-income countries is reported to be patients aged over 60 years, comprising 60% of all blood transfusions. However, in low-income countries, children under 5 years of age account for 54% of blood transfusions. Further, the blood donation rate is estimated to be 31.5 donations based on samples of 1000 people. Thus, the increasing number of blood donations and transfusions is a primary driver of the market for pathogen reduction systems.

Pathogen Reduction Systems Market Share

Market Segmentation Based on Application Areas is Anticipated to Witness Substantial Growth

The market share is segmented by type into platelet pathogen reduction and plasma pathogen reduction systems. The platelet pathogen reduction segment includes the pathogen reduction technologies that help in reducing the pathogen contamination in platelets before transfusion. On the other hand, the plasma pathogen reduction segment involves the treatment of plasma to inactivate pathogens. These pathogen reduction technologies ensure the safety of plasma used in transfusions or the production of plasma-derived therapies.
