Organ Preservation Solution Market Size

Organ Preservation Solution Market size was valued at USD 256.1 million in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 6.8% from 2023 to 2032. The major factors attributing to the growth of this market are increasing number of organ transplantation procedure, and rising healthcare investments.

Organ Preservation Solution Market Key Takeaways

Market Size & Growth

  • 2022 Market Size: USD 256.1 Million
  • 2032 Forecast Market Size: USD 499.1 Million
  • CAGR (2023–2032): 6.8%

Key Market Drivers

  • Increasing number of organ transplantation procedure.
  • Rising healthcare investments.

Challenges

  • High cost of organ transplantation.
  • Significant gap between number of organs donated and organs required.

Also, the advancements in preservation techniques, and rising awareness pertaining to the importance of organ donation will further augment the growth of this market. For, instance, according to the United Network of Organ Sharing, in U.S. 42,887 organ transplants were performed in 2022, nearly 3.7% of increase over 2021. Thus, usage of preservation solution owing to such organ transplant procedures is expected to spur the market expansion.
 

Organ preservation solutions are specially designed solutions used to protect and preserve organs outside of the body for transplantation or other medical purposes. These solutions/organ care products are crucial for maintaining the viability and function of organs between their removal from a donor to transplantation into a recipient.

COVID-19 Impact

The organ preservation solution market was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has led to disruptions in healthcare systems worldwide, affecting elective procedures, including organ transplantation and supply chain. Many transplant centers had to prioritize resources for COVID-19 patients, leading to a temporary decline in transplant procedures including HLA typing for transplant. Moreover, the decreased availability of donors during the pandemic has directly affected the necessity for organ preservation solutions.
