Globally, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases is subsequently increasing the incidence of organ failure, further surging the need for organ transplants. The Organ Donor states that over 1 million tissue transplants are performed every year. The geriatric population is highly susceptible to chronic diseases, which further increases the need for organ transplantation. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), by 2050, the world’s population aged 60 and older is expected to reach 2 billion, from 900 million in 2015. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is highly prevalent and the leading cause of kidney transplantation procedures. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) states that about 661,000 Americans have Kidney failure. About 468,000 people are on dialysis, and roughly 193,000 people live with a kidney transplant.
Moreover, one of the main factors further driving the expansion of the market under study is the increase in organ donation. In January 2021, more than 12,500 people donated one or more organs in 2020, up 6% from the year before, according to figures released by the Association of Organ Procurement Organizations (AOPO). Increased transplant diagnostic testing will result from increased organ donation, propelling industry growth. Additionally, several significant players are releasing new products on the market, which is anticipated to further fuel market revenue. For instance, in September 2021, Thermo Fisher Scientific added two new products to its range of transplant diagnostics during the American Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics (ASHI) annual meeting.
The market segments of transplant diagnostics, based on the product & service, includes instruments and reagents & consumables. The reagents & consumables segment dominated the global market in 2021. Higher consumption rate of these products across all applications and end-uses along with greater replacements rates despite less cost is the key attribute of this segment. Manufacturers of these type of diagnostic products are adopting strategies such as purchase contracts for reagents and consumables. In addition, the key factor accelerating the adoption of reagents and consumables is their repeat purchase. The large share of this segment can be further attributed to the rapid modernization and automation of diagnostic laboratories, growing number of research & development activities outsourced by pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies to independent reference laboratories, and the growing number of organ transplantation procedures.
The transplant diagnostics market segmentation, based on the screening type, includes pre-transplant and post-transplant. The pre-transplant segment held the majority share in 2021, contributing to around ~60-64% of the market revenue of transplant diagnostics. These pre-transplantation analysis techniques are employed to ensure safe and effective procedures. Factors such as growing awareness among physicians and rapidly adopting technologically advanced tools are expected to drive growth in the coming years. Further, growing geriatric population susceptible to the various chronic diseases due to weaker immunity are the key factors supporting the market growth of the pre-transplant diagnostics for diagnostic applications.
March 2020: CareDx Inc launched KIRA Immuno-Optimization to bring personalized care to pre-transplant.
Transplant Diagnostics Screening Type 2021 and 2030
The market segmentation of transplant diagnostics, based on the organ type, includes kidney, liver, heart, lung, and pancreas. The kidney segment had the highest market revenue share in 2021. Increasing number of kidney transplantation procedures coupled with the supportive government regulations to augment organ donations across major healthcare markets supporting the segmental growth of the market. Kidney and liver transplants are more prevalent applications in the serological transplant diagnostic market fueled by the rise in incidences of kidney and liver failure in the geriatric population. Especially, in those with chronic diseases. As per the reports published by the American Society of Nephrology titled- Chronic Kidney Disease in India, the range of CKD in India ranges from 1% to 13%.
January 2019: CORE Diagnostics, launched its division for advanced diagnostic services in nephrology called ‘nephroCORE’. These services will ensure best clinical intervention to improve outcomes in several chronic and generic kidney diseases including kidney transplants.

Transplant Diagnostics Key Market Players & Competitive Insights
The global market is highly competitive with very few players competing in the international market. The quality and accuracy constraints of transplant diagnostic techniques like serology-based and PCR-based HLA typing increase the overall cost of products. As a result, players are implementing strategies, such as long-term contracts with diagnostic clinics and laboratories and discount pricing for bulk purchases.
Companies in the in the market of Transplant Diagnostics are using the Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) for conducting tests to match organ donors and recipients. NGS technology allows the sequencing of an entire human genome, i.e., millions of DNA molecules within a single day. In Next-generation sequencing (NSG), genes are matched between the donor and recipient and depending on the extent of match, decision to perform organ transplantation is made. Nearly all transplant diagnostic tests and devices currently use this technology to decide on organ transplantation. For example, Castle Biosciences launched Decision Dx-CMSeq Test that used NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) to identify somatic mutations in genes.
Eurofins Scientific SE is a French group of laboratories headquartered in Luxembourg, providing testing and support services to the pharmaceutical, food, environmental, agriscience and consumer products industries and to governments. In June 2019, Eurofins Scientific acquired Transplant Genomics Inc to improve organ transplant outcomes with non-invasive serial monitoring guided by genomics.
Immucor Inc is a global in vitro diagnostics company specializing in the area of pre-transfusion diagnostics. The company offers a complete line of serology-based reagents and instruments used by hospitals, reference labs and donor centers to perform pre-transfusion typing and screening of blood and renders blood bank software solutions that are designed specifically to enhance the productivity of blood bank laboratories, providing transfusion test results in an efficient and productive way to the customers.
