- In November 2024, CSL Plasma expanded its adoption of the advanced Rika Plasma Donation System across six U.S. donation centers near Denver, Colorado. These new devices, developed jointly with Terumo Blood & Cell Technologies, cut collection times by ~30% while improving donor comfort, safety, and efficiency
- In December 2022, CSL inaugurated its new Broadmeadows Plasma Fractionation Facility in Victoria, Australia—the largest plasma grain-processing site in the Southern Hemisphere. With capacity to handle 9.2 million plasma-equivalent liters annually, this USD 900 million facility supports the global demand for plasma-based therapies that treat immunodeficiencies, neurological disorders, and critical conditions like transplants and burns
- In June 2024, Takeda announced a USD 30 million expansion of its Los Angeles plasma‑fractionation facility, its global leader per capacity. This upgrade is expected to add up to 2 million liters/year of production volume, helping to meet rising global demand for plasma‑derived therapies used in treating immunodeficiencies and bleeding disorders
- In 2023, Takeda committed approximately USD 765 million to build a new plasma‑derived therapy manufacturing plant in Osaka, Japan—nearly quintupling capacity at its existing Narita site. This facility is projected to be fully operational by 2030 and will serve both the Japanese and global markets
- In March 2025, Grifols partnered with Inpeco to integrate advanced automation robotics (FlexLab X), diagnostics, and reagents, creating “labs of the future” for high‑throughput, safer, traceable blood and plasma testing in transfusion Medicine labs analyze biological samples to diagnose, monitor, and research diseases
