The accuracy of blood temperature indicators helps in easy and effective transportation of blood and its components, further eliminating viability testing. The indicators play an important role in the blood cold chain by ensuring the correct temperature during storage and transportation. The indicators are specially designed to notify the breach of blood temperatures by changing color, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), or via an alarm. The increasing demand for blood supply and prioritizing safety create demand for blood temperature indicators.
Nowadays, blood banks are opting for irreversible blood temperature indicators, which assist blood banks and storage units to receive return blood from hospitals. The indicators display the storage condition of blood during transportation that determines the viability and allows the later use by re-issuing the same blood to another patient.
Furthermore, prevention of blood waste and the rising demand for effective transportation and storage of blood and its components create need for the blood temperature indicators. Moreover, increasing demand for effective storage and transportation and accuracy of blood temperature and the rising adoption of single-use and irreversible indicators contribute to the market growth. Furthermore, the use of near field technology (NFC) and phase change technology increases the accuracy of indicators. Therefore, the North America blood temperature indicator market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
