The Global Apheresis Equipment Market is projected to reach $8.29 billion by 2028, from a value of $3.94 billion in 2022, by registering a CAGR of 13.2% during the forecast period. Larger adoption of disposable apheresis kits arising from the high incidence rates of hospital acquired infections, growing prevalence of blood related disorders, presence of favorable reimbursement policies, and rise in demand for source plasma from biopharmaceutical companies are the major factors propelling the growth of the market. However, lack of blood donors, risks associated with apheresis devices and high cost of apheresis devices & therapeutic apheresis procedures are hampering market growth. Moreover, increasing investments from government bodies and apheresis for leukemia and paediatric patients are creating ample opportunities across the globe.
