Based on procedure types, the apheresis equipment market is segmented into:

1. Plasmapheresis

2. LDL-apheresis

3. Plateletpheresis

4. Leukapheresis

5. Photophereis

6. Erythrocytapheresis

7. Others

Plasmapheresis accounts for the largest share of the apheresis equipment market. This procedure is used to segregate plasma from other blood cells. Growing demand for plasma products is the most significant driver for the progress of plasmapheresis market. Plasmapheresis procedure for first developed by Grifols in 1951. Bleeding and clotting disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and burn injuries are chief application areas of plasmapheresis. Drugs based on plasma products are also administered to patients with compromised or weak immune system. Growing incidence of hematological disorders is perpetually growing, thus giving rise to demand for plasma products, thus acting as a primary growth driver. Extracorporeal photopheresis, or photopheresis is a form of leukapheresis with an additional stage of photo-treatment. Photopheresis is approved by the FDA for treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and is also used for treating solid organ transplant rejection, type 1 diabetes, scleroderma, lichen planus, atopic dermatitis and pemphigus vulgaris. On the ground of growing prevalence of these diseases, the demand for both open and closes photopheresis systems is on the rise, and this growth will be witnessed through the forecast period.

Based on the type of products, the global apheresis equipment market is segmented as follows:

• Apheresis Devices
• Apheresis Disposable Kits

Moreover, membrane filtration and centrifugation are the two technologies used for performing apheresis procedure.

Apheresis disposable kits is the largest segment in the total apheresis equipment market. High purchase rate of disposable kits due to high usage volume, coupled with ever growing demand for apheresis procedures drive the growth of this segment. Filters, tubes, and other such products constitute the assembly of disposable kits. In order to curb the risk of infection, single use products are in high demand, where single cycle procedures consume multiple disposable parts. Such intensive consumption of disposables is responsible for larger revenue and volume share of disposable kits segment. The currently available apheresis devices constitute collection system, separator unit and data management system and others. The modern apheresis machines allow quick turnaround and safety from infections. The demand for apheresis devices is burgeoning in emerging markets of Asia Pacific and Latin America due to rapid development of healthcare infrastructure and growing demand for apheresis procedure.

Apheresis procedures find major application in hematology, renal, neurology and other treatment areas.

Neurology is the largest segment for apheresis equipment. Increasing prevalence of neurological diseases such as myasthenia gravis and multiple sclerosis is a chief factor contributing to the dominance of this segment. Perpetual widening application of apheresis and growth in R&D efforts aimed at introducing novel products in the market will further boost the market growth. Therapeutic plasma exchange is a crucial treatment for treating myasthenia gravis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, multiple sclerosis or chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy. Increasing prevalence of such diseases and proven efficiency of apheresis in treating such conditions is a major driver of this application segment. The burden of sickle cell disease is phenomenally high. Red blood cell transfusion is used as an ideal treatment for sickle cell disease, which is a sub-type of therapeutic hemapheresis. Therapeutic plasma exchange, leukapheresis, photopheresis, plateletpheresis are also becoming popular for treating hematological diseases.

For the purpose of this study, the global apheresis equipment market is categorized as follows:

• North America (U.S. & Canada)
• Europe (Germany, U.K. & Rest of Europe)
• Asia Pacific (Japan, China & Rest of Asia Pacific)
• Latin America (LATAM)
• Middle East and Africa (MEA)

North America holds over 45% of the global apheresis equipment market in 2020. Well-developed healthcare infrastructure, high awareness between both patients and care-givers and favorable reimbursement are the key drivers of this market. Centrifugation apheresis technology is anticipated to be in high demand in North America market during the forecast period. Increasing incidence of hematological and neurological disorders in Europe that demand apheresis procedure for treatment will drive the European apheresis equipment market. Additionally, Asia Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest progressing market for apheresis equipment during the forecast period. Increasing prevalence of blood disorders that demand treatment with platelets and plasma products in emerging markets of China, Japan, Australia, Korea and India is a key market driver of Asia Pacific market. Rapid development of healthcare infrastructure, and improving awareness in the general population will additionally contribute to demand for apheresis and hence apheresis equipment in the region.
