The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion in blood donation drives, aging population, rise in healthcare infrastructure development, rise in clinical trials.

The blood group typing market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.83 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for blood and blood-related products, rising prevalence of chronic diseases, rising road accidents, rise in healthcare spending. Major trends in the forecast period include automation and high-throughput systems, data integration, public health initiatives, technological innovations.

The blood group typing market experienced growth during the historic period, driven by a notable increase in the number of blood donations and transfusions. Various non-profit organizations, government entities, and agencies have been actively promoting the significance of blood donations through awareness campaigns. This surge in blood donations has led to an augmented demand for blood group typing, enabling donors to ascertain their blood type. As reported by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2022, high-income nations, constituting 16% of the global population, contribute 40% of the 118.5 million worldwide blood donations. Notably, the distribution of blood transfusions varies, with children under five years receiving up to 54% in low-income nations, while those over 60 account for 76% in high-income countries. The upswing in blood donations and transfusions has thus been a significant factor propelling the growth of the blood typing market.

Leading companies in the blood group typing market are focusing on developing innovative products using advanced technologies like next-generation sequencing (NGS) to improve the accuracy and efficiency of blood typing processes. NGS allows for a detailed analysis of genetic variations in blood group antigens, providing more precise and comprehensive blood group typing. For example, in April 2023, Metropolis Healthcare Limited, an India-based healthcare company, introduced the NextGen HLA Typing Test. This test leverages NGS technology to enhance the precision of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing for organ transplants, improving compatibility assessments between donors and recipients, which is essential for successful transplant outcomes.

Prominent players in the blood gas and electrolyte analyzer market are directing their efforts toward the development of innovative products, exemplified by the ABO and RhD Solid-Phase Blood Grouping Kit, aimed at enhancing their offerings for existing consumers. This diagnostic instrument utilizes solid-phase technology to detect ABO blood type system A/B antigen and Rh blood group system D antigen in a clean fingerprick blood sample or anticoagulated blood. The ABO and RhD Solid-Phase Blood Grouping Kit, stable at room temperature, serves multiple purposes, including ABO and RhD blood group detection, prenatal testing, and assessing the risk of HDFN and ABO incompatibility. In February 2022, lnTec PRODUCTS, INC., a China-based manufacturer specializing in blood grouping kits and infectious disease diagnostics, launched the Notice-2nd Generation ABO and RhD Solid-Phase Blood Grouping Kit. This second-generation product retains the benefits of its predecessor while introducing additional features, such as improved affordability and redesigned cassettes/strips for faster and easier use. With just one drop of whole blood (15 μl), results can be obtained in 2 minutes, and every cassette or strip now includes both negative and positive internal checks, available in cassette and strip formats.

In March 2023, Werfen, S.A., a Spain-based company operating in blood group typing, hemostasis, and transfusion, completed the acquisition of Immucor Inc. for approximately US$2 billion. This strategic move expanded Werfen's position as a reference business in the specialized diagnostics market and broadened its diagnostic solutions for hospitals and clinical laboratories. The acquisition integrated Immucor Inc., a U.S.-based company specializing in blood group typing, into Werfen's portfolio, strengthening the company's range by adding Transfusion and Transplant product lines to its existing Hemostasis, Acute Care, and Autoimmunity business lines. The acquisition is a testament to Werfen's commitment to enhancing its capabilities and offerings in the blood gas and electrolyte analyzer market.

The regions covered in the blood group typing market report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East, and Africa.

Blood group typing is a method employed to determine an individual's blood type, facilitating safe blood donation or transfusion.

Key types of blood group typing include antibody screening, cross-matching tests, ABO tests, antigen typing, and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing. Antibody screening tests are conducted in clinical laboratories or blood banks to identify unexpected antibodies, such as alloantibodies, in the serum related to non-ABO blood group antigens. Cross-matching tests are integral to blood compatibility testing before transfusions. HLA typing, a genetic test, identifies variations in immune system proteins, commonly used for matching patients and donors in bone marrow or cord blood transplants. ABO tests categorize blood types into A, B, AB, or O. Antigen tests, utilizing immunoassays, detect specific viral antigens and are employed in the diagnosis of respiratory pathogens like influenza viruses. Products used for blood group typing include instruments, reagents, and kits, employing techniques such as serology tests and molecular tests. Blood group typing finds application in hospital-based laboratories, independent laboratories, and blood banks.
