Organ transplant diagnostics involves a range of medical tests and procedures that are used to assess the compatibility between a potential organ donor and recipient. It also evaluates the condition of the organ before and after the transplantation. Various kinds of test that are involved in diagnosis of organ transplantation include blood tests, cross-matching, imaging tests, biopsy, echocardiogram, pulmonary function tests, and endoscopy. According to the data from the Global Observatory on Donation and Transplantation of 2020, the United States has been ranked as the highest position accounting for almost 40,000 transplantations in a year, followed by China, Brazil, Spain, and India. Among various organ transplantations, heart transplant recipients may need to undergo more diagnostic tests than other transplant recipients because of the complexity of the heart and the potential for complications. Some of the diagnostic tests that may be required for heart transplant recipients include echocardiograms, electrocardiograms, and cardiac catheterization. The growing prevalence of various chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory diseases, musculoskeletal diseases, neurological disorders, and kidney diseases is expected to register a lucrative growth of the global organ transplant diagnostics market during the forecast period. Many diagnostic tests are required for carrying out the transplantations of vital organs in the body which is increasing the demand for diagnostics in the market. Furthermore, growing geriatric population across the world and the emergence of various diseases such as arthritis, dementia, osteoporosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are associated with people in their elder age. Such factors are expected to propel the growth of the global organ transplant diagnostics market in the coming years.
Rising Prevalence of Chronic Diseases
. According to Global Observatory on Donation and Transplantation (GODT) reported that globally around 139,347 organ transplantations were performed in 2019, followed by 144,302 organ transplantations performed across the world in 2021 with an increase of 11.3% from 2020. As per the report published by Health Resources & Services Administration (HSRA), it has been concluded that around 25,499 kidney transplantations were performed in 2022, followed by 9,528 liver transplantations, 4,111 heart transplantations, and 2,692 lung transplantations across the world.
Increase in Geriatric Population
According to data from the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN), in 2020, there were a total of 39,035 kidney transplants performed in the United States. Of these, 5,819 (14.9%) were performed in recipients who were 65 years of age or older.
