Market Definition

Transplant diagnostics are the immunogenetics and histocompatibility of organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplantations. These diagnostics help healthcare professionals determine compatibility between potential recipients and organ donors. These are used in various disciplines, such as immunogenetics, pathology and infectious diseases, among others. Transplant diagnostics are used to determine whether the donor and the recipient of the organ are compatible before or after the transplant. With the introduction of transplant diagnostics, the prevalence of diseases that can cause organ failure, including both pre-and post-transplant screening, is expected to explode. The market has attracted the interest of healthcare professionals due to the many advantages these tests offer to verify suitability for a transplant procedure. Organ transplantation is one of the most popular treatment options for many end-stage renal disease patients on continuous dialysis.

• In addition, it is possible to investigate organ transplantation for cases involving the heart, liver, or bone marrow. Although in many cases, there is a strong association between renal failure and liver transplantation, including end-stage renal disease. New transcriptomic, proteomic and genomic indicators in molecular diagnostics can help to better tailor transplant therapy and early detection of rejection events. Also, strategic initiatives by market players, technological progressions in transplant diagnostics, high sterility assurance and increasing investment in healthcare infrastructure increase the demand for transplant diagnostics.

Middle East and Africa Transplant Diagnostics Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail below:    

Drivers

• Rising number of transplant procedures

The demand for organ transplantation has rapidly increased worldwide during the past decade due to the increased incidence of vital organ failure and improved post-transplant outcomes. Demand for kidney, heart, liver and lungs transplant is very high. Alcohol consumption, lack of exercise and drug abuse are leading causes of organ failure. The number of living donor transplants has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. But living donor transplants have increased by 14.2 percent over 2020.

• In addition, organ transplantation improves patient survival and quality of life and has a major positive impact on public health and the socioeconomic burden of organ failure. The European Union (EU) has a relatively uniform and structured approach to organ transplantation, well-developed national programs, international systems to facilitate organ sharing and well-defined exchange policies, making Europe a leader in this field.

Thus, the increasing number of transplant procedures across the globe and the increase in successful transplantations is expected to boost the Middle East and Africa transplant diagnostics market.

•  Increase in the technological advancements in the field of transplants

New technologies are rapidly changing traditional approaches to organ transplantation. The main challenges in organ transplantation are how best to identify and, if possible, eliminate the need for lifelong immunosuppression and how to expand the pool of donors suitable for human transplantation. Researchers have developed an advanced system where transport time can be extended by tricking donor organs into thinking they are still inside the body. This system keeps oxygenated blood flowing through the organs to delay tissue death. A normothermic perfusion machine mimics the human body, ensuring constant blood flow to the organ. The machine can also deliver drugs or other nutrients to keep the liver in optimal condition before the transplant.

In addition, bio-artificial organ production techniques are a range of enabling techniques that can be used to produce human organs based on bionic principles. Over the past ten years, significant progress has been made in developing various organ manufacturing technologies. The past decade has seen tremendous advances in new technologies such as single-cell RNA sequencing, Nano biotechnology and CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing. However, creative applications of such new and powerful technologies to improve clinical transplantation have only begun. With such tools, there are now good opportunities to make major breakthroughs in defining and providing optimized and individualized care for all organ transplants.

Restraint

• High cost of organ transplantation

Organ transplantation therapy employs highly technologically advanced products. The development of these products involves rigorous research and development by the developing players. Thus, the procedures and product cost remains high, which proportionally increases the cost of testing. Also, organ transplants are expensive because they are incredibly resource-intensive and involve high-paid doctors, transportation and expensive medications

• In addition, desensitizing therapies have also been used to achieve transplantation from an incompatible donor. However, such procedures are very expensive and may be associated with complications and worse long-term outcomes.

Thus, the high cost of transplantation and treatment using advanced modalities and technology products will act as a major restraining factor for the growth of the Middle East and Africa transplant diagnostics market.
