Photopheresis Products Market - Forecast(2024 - 2030)

Photopheresis Products Market Overview

The Photopheresis Products Market size in 2020 is estimated at $302.4 million and is projected to grow with a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period 2021-2026. Photopheresis, also known as Extracorporeal Photopheresis (ECP), involves the extraction of a certain amount of blood from the patient, and the white blood cells separated from this blood are then treated with a photoactive drug. These cells are then activated with UVA irradiation (Ultraviolet A) and the blood is finally returned to the patient. This treatment is done on patients with Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma (CTCL), Graft versus Host Disease (GVHD), and few other conditions. The rising prevalence of autoimmune diseases and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma is contributing to the growth of this market. Other factors such as the development of health care infrastructure and technological advancement, further drive the Photopheresis Products Market during the period 2021-2026.

Photopheresis Products Market Segment Analysis - By Type

The Photopheresis Products Market is segmented into Open System and Closed System based on type. The Closed system segment is estimated to dominate the market during the period 2021-2026 and is projected to growth at a CAGR of 5.0%. Open systems use separate compartments for cell separation and UVA irradiation. The risk associated with contamination is high in this case limiting their use. This contributes to the dominance of Closed Systems over Open System type.

Photopheresis Products Market Segment Analysis - By Application

Based on the application, Photopheresis Products Market is segmented into Graft versus Host Disease, Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma, Transplant Rejections, and Autoimmune Diseases. Among these the Graft versus Host Disease is estimated to account for a major share in the market. This is owing to the high incidence of the condition especially among patients receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplant. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information study in 2020, the incidence of chronic GVHD ranges from 6% to 80%. Also, the autoimmune disease segment is projected to grow the fastest with a CAGR of 5.1% during 2021-2026. This is owing to its rising prevalence of autoimmune disease globally. The prevalence is increasing owing to decline in immunity owing to lifestyle related problems and stress, diet, lack of exercise, insufficient sleep and similar other issues.

Photopheresis Products Market Segment Analysis - By Geography

In 2020, North America accounts for 43% of the Photopheresis products market share. This is owing to the favorable reimbursement policies for treatment of GVHD, cytotoxic T-lymphocytes and lung transplantation. According to reports in Almirall S A, about 16,000-20,000 Americans have cutaneous t-cell lymphoma. Also the prevalence of autoimmune diseases are high in North America. These factors contribute to the dominance of this region in Photopheresis Products Market, as they are commonly used for such diseases.

Also, Asia-Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing over the period 2021-2026. This is owing to expansion of global players into these regions. Also the market here is becoming more favorable for growth owing to developing healthcare infrastructure and rising disposable income of people.
