Transplant Box Market Trends:

Increasing Organ Transplantation Procedures

As per the United Network for Organ Sharing, there were more than 46,000 organ transplants performed in the United States in 2023. There is a rise in the need for reliable and efficient transport solutions that aid in ensuring the safe delivery of organs because of the high number of organ transplantation procedures. Moreover, high transplant procedures are catalyzing the need for advanced transplant boxes that maintain optimal conditions like temperature, humidity, and other environmental factors becomes critical, as different organs have varying preservation timeframes. Furthermore, healthcare providers are focusing on investing in high-quality transplant boxes that meet rigorous standards.

Rising Geriatric Population

Chronic illnesses like diabetes, kidney problems, and cardiovascular diseases are becoming more common in older people and can result in organ failure. As a result, elderly people have a greater need for organ transplants. The elderly population may have particular health issues such as co-morbidities that make transplantation more difficult. Specialized transplant boxes that prolong the viability of organs are becoming indispensable in healthcare facilities. The World Health Organization (WHO) projects that by 2050, there will be 426 million people in the world who are 80 years of age or older.

Growing Prevalence of Chronic Diseases

Approximately 620 million individuals worldwide suffered from heart and circulatory diseases in 2023, according to the PCR Online. The rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity among individuals is offering a favorable transplant box market outlook. Organ failure numbers are on the rise owing to these disorders, which mostly affect the kidneys, liver, heart, and lungs. There is an increase in the need for safe and efficient organ transportation solutions like transplant boxes. The market is expanding as a result of people's growing knowledge of organ donation and transplantation in society. In addition, as healthcare providers increasingly recommend transplants for eligible patients, the number of surgeries performed grows, necessitating the use of specialized transplant boxes in order to safely transport organs.

Transplant Box Market News:

• 7 January 2024: Loyola Medicine completed its first transplant using TransMedics Organ Care System™ (OCS™), also known as ‘Heart-in-a-Box’. The technology acts as a miniature intensive care unit to keep donor hearts alive and healthy by preserving them in a natural state that mimics the human body. With "Heart-in-a-Box," the organ stays viable for up to 12 hours, twice as long as cold storage. This means a donor heart can travel a longer distance, dramatically increasing the number organs available for patients waiting for a new heart.
