(PharmaNewsWire.Com, July 03, 2019 ) The increasing number of donations, its low cost, growing prevalence/incidence of infectious diseases, and the increasing demand for donated blood are the major factors contributing to the growth of the ELISA market.
Moreover, the high cost of NAT testing makes it unaffordable for developing economies, leaving them to rely on ELISA testing for blood screening.
The major players in the blood screening market are Grifols (Spain), Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (U.S.), Roche Diagnostics (Switzerland), bioMérieux (France), Abbott Laboratories (U.S.), Siemens Healthineers (Germany), Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. (U.S.), Beckman Coulter, Inc. (U.S.), Ortho Clinical Diagnostics, Inc. (U.S.), and Becton, Dickinson and Company (U.S).
The global blood screening market is dominated by North America, followed by Europe, Asia, and the Rest of the World (RoW). Asia is expected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period, with the growth in this market centred at China, Japan, and India.
