Cold Chain Products Market for Plasma Fractionation

Driver: Rising use of immunoglobulins and other plasma products in a range of therapeutic area

Immunoglobulins (IgG), also known as immune globulin or gamma globulin plays a crucial role in the treatment of primary immunodeficiency and various other conditions. Polyvalent immunoglobulins, prepared from multiple donors, are essential for addressing immunological disorders such as primary and secondary immunodeficiencies. Additionally, high-dose immunoglobulins exhibit immune-modulating effects in neurological, hematological, and dermatological immune diseases. Hyperimmune immunoglobulins with specific antibodies are utilized for preventing or treating infections like tetanus, measles, and rabies, as well as preventing hemolytic diseases in newborns. The demand for plasma fractionation is primarily driven by the clinical utilization of immunoglobulins, which has been steadily increasing and is expected to continue growing. This growing demand for plasma therapeutics, specifically immunoglobulins, in high-income countries can lead to the production of surplus amounts of other therapeutic proteins such as albumin. Consequently, the demand for cold chain products in the plasma fractionation market is projected to rise due to the increased usage of immunoglobulins and other plasma products, requiring storage equipment throughout the manufacturing and application process.

Opportunity: Demand for Plasma Fractionation Centre

The global demand for plasma-derived products is growing at a rate of approximately 7% per year due to increasing prevalence of diseases like hemophilia, immune deficiency disorders, and alpha-I antitrypsin deficiency. The United States, European Union, and China have the highest demand for these products, driven by the high prevalence of such diseases. Other regions, such as India and Africa, also require plasma fractionation centers. India's large population and high disease prevalence contribute to its demand for plasma-derived products, although the country relies on imports due to low plasma collection rates. Similarly, Africa faces limited availability of these products due to low plasma collection rates, often hindered by infrastructure and resource challenges.

Challenge: Shortage of trained manpower & limited resources to maintain the equipment

Plasma freezers and refrigerators play a critical role in storing temperature-sensitive plasma-based therapies. Maintaining the recommended storage temperature is crucial to preserve the quality and effectiveness of these therapies, which have a short shelf life. However, there is a growing concern about the shortage of skilled manpower and limited resources to maintain this vital storage equipment, particularly in developing countries. Insufficient infrastructure and lack of training among healthcare workers contribute to the risk of wastage and compromise patient care. The increased demand for convalescent plasma during the COVID-19 pandemic has further highlighted these challenges. It is imperative for healthcare facilities to prioritize cold chain management, invest in infrastructure, and provide proper training to ensure efficient storage and availability of plasma-based therapies while minimizing wastage.
