Market Overview

The Leukapheresis Market is expected to grow with a CAGR of 7.5%, during the forecast period. Leukapheresis is a laboratory procedure in which white blood cells including leukemia cells are separated from a sample of blood. Leukemia is a different type of cancer from most of the other cancers that start in the bone marrow where new blood cells are made. Leukemia starts in early forms of blood cells, usually white blood cells or leucocytes, which helps to fight against infections caused by foreign particles. People with leukemia, produce too many blood cells, and they aren’t normal they travel in the blood and go all over the body and cause problems depending upon the organs involved. The incidence of leukemia is highest among whites and lowest among Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans in both men and women and the highest among men than women. Some of the signs and symptoms of leukemia are fatigue and weakness, bleeding from gums, trauma, bruising, fever, weight loss, etc. According to International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), in the year 2018 number of leukemia cases for both sexes were estimated as 437,033 cases of leukemia (2.6%), in men 249,454 cases of leukemia (2.8%), in women 187,579 cases of leukemia (2.3%) globally. Rising incidence and prevalence of leukemia and growing demand for leukapheresis procedures are the key driving factors in the leukapheresis market.

Scope of the Report

Leukapheresis is a laboratory procedure in which white blood cells including leukemia cells are separated from the blood. Leukapheresis is segmented by Type (Leukapheresis Devices (Apheresis Devices, Leukapheresis Columns, and Cell Separators, Leukoreduction Filters), Leukapheresis Disposables), Application and Geography.

Key Market Trends

Leukapheresis Disposables Segment is Expected to Hold a Major Market Share in the Leukapheresis

  • Rising applications of leukapheresis procedures for the isolation of white blood cells (WBCs) or leukocytes or leucocytes, from the blood for cell therapy research applications and repeated consumption of disposables in leukapheresis procedures, is estimated to drive the growth of the leukapheresis disposables segment.
  • According to International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), in the year 2018 number of leukemia cases for both sexes are estimated as 437,033 cases of leukemia (2.6%), in men 249,454 cases of leukemia (2.6%), in women 187,579 cases of leukemia (2.3%) globally.
  • In the years 2017-2018, the Leukapheresis disposables segment holds a significant share in the market and is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period.
  • Increasing the prevalence of leukemia and growing demand for leukapheresis disposables are the key driving factors in the leukapheresis disposables segment.



North America is Expected to Hold a Significant Share in the Market and Expected to do Same in the Forecast Period

North America expected to hold the largest market share in the global leukapheresis market due to a rise in the geriatric population, increasing prevalence and incidence of leukemia in this region. According to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS), in the year 2019, approximately 61,780 people were expected to be diagnosed with leukemia. According to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and American Cancer Society, from 2011-2015, in the United States leukemia was the sixth most common cause of cancer deaths in both men and women. Moreover, increasing clinical research activities and a larger presence of biotech and pharma companies is fueling the growth of the overall regional market to a large extent.
