Perfusion Companies

Perfusion Market Scenario

Perfusion is a process of delivering oxygenated blood to all tissues. This technique is used in cardiac surgery where perfusion experts employ artificial blood pumps to thrust patients' blood through their body tissue by replacing the function of the heart while the cardiac surgeon operates. Perfusion can be used as chemotherapy technique for the treatment of melanoma occurring in arm or legs. With the help of this technique, flow of blood to and from the limb is stopped for a while by creating a band, and anticancer drugs are put directly in blood of the limb. This helps patients to receive a high dose of drugs in the area where the melanoma had occurred.    

Poor perfusion causes numerous severe health problems such as deep vein thrombosis and coronary artery disease. It has been observed that during major surgeries such as cardiothoracic surgeries and organ transplant, maintenance of perfusion is vital and to maintain this many preservation methods are being used. The two most important methods are machine perfusion (MP) and static cold storage (SCS). Although SCS is a highly adopted process for preservation, it is inefficient to maintain normal functioning of organs at high-risk. Hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) has emerged as an effective solution to curb such problems. Every year more than one hundred thousand perfusion procedures are being performed around the globe.

Rising number of chronic diseases cases such as cardiac diseases, liver and kidney diseases often leads to organ transplant and is one of the major driver of the perfusion market. Moreover, rising cases of organ failure due to other factors such as improper diet, smoking and consumption of alcohol has led to the demand of effective perfusion systems. As per National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), more than 661,000 Americans have kidney failure which is a major driving force for the perfusion market. However, lack of awareness regarding perfusion systems in developing countries can limit the growth of this market.

The perfusion market is growing steadily and is expected to continue its growth during the forecast period. perfusion market is expected to grow at the CAGR of 2.55% during the forecast period and is estimated to reach around   580.31 million by 2030.

Regional Analysis of Perfusion Market        

Considering the global scenario of the perfusion market, the Americas is the largest market of perfusion. The Americas mainly includes North America and Latin America. North America is a dominating region across the global market. Some major factors like technological advancement and growing number of organ transplants are major driving factors for the growth of the perfusion market. Europe is the second highest revenue generating region in the perfusion market. Europe is mainly divided into Eastern Europe and Western Europe. More developed countries of Western Europe like Germany, France and UK are holding major market share while the market in East European countries are also growing significantly. Due to the developing healthcare infrastructure, increasing healthcare expenditure, and growing adoption of new techniques for perfusion and organ preservations has led to the fastest growth of the Asia Pacific perfusion market. Middle East & Africa is expected to grow slow growth in this market. Middle Eastern countries like UAE and Saudi are dominating this market, it is mainly due to availability of top class medical facilities, high income and government support to improve public health.
