The Europe human leukocyte antigen (HLA) testing market is expected to grow from US$ 188.49 million in 2022 to US$ 287.77 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.3% from 2022 to 2028.
The broadening scope of applications of HLA testing makes it mandatory before several medical procedures. The histocompatibility laboratory at TriCore Reference Laboratories provides HLA-related testing for transplantation, platelet donation/blood transfusion, forensic testing, parentage testing, disease association, pharmacogenomics, and transfusion medicine applications; among these, HLA testing is commonly used in disease-association testing. Specific HLA alleles are associated with high or low exposure to various diseases. HLA testing can also be used as a complementary method for diagnosing and assessing hereditary risks. The confirmation of the presence or absence of HLA factors associated with each disease or drug-induced adverse reactions can significantly impact therapeutics. Further, blood transfusion is one of the primary procedures that require HLA testing. Several chronic conditions, surgical procedures, and trauma cases require blood transfusion so that patients can survive without any side effects of low blood levels. Conditions including thalassemia, blood cancer, sickle cell anemia, anemia, and surgical and trauma cases lead to blood loss and require a blood transfusion. Thus, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases magnifies the demand for blood transfusion, thereby propelling the growth of the HLA testing market.
With new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the Europe human leukocyte antigen (HLA) testing market at a notable CAGR during the forecast period.
