HLA typing market: Market Dynamics
Driver: Rising technological advancements in HLA typing
HLA-typing procedures have transitioned from serology-based to genome-based diagnostic techniques due to the advent of PCR-based genome sequencing and its integration with microfluidics, biomedical instrumentation, and robotics. Ongoing technological advancements in HLA typing have resulted in higher sample throughput, increased device sensitivity, early detection of incompatibility, and improved procedural efficacy compared to serological techniques. Such advantages have increased the demand for HLA typing products among key end users such as research laboratories, hospitals, transplant centers, and diagnostic laboratories.
A key development in HLA diagnostics is the introduction of molecular diagnostic techniques such as Sanger sequencing, PCR, HLA-based genotyping, and NGS, which enable the identification of specific alleles and point mutations of HLA genes. Moreover, incorporating nanofabrication and microfluidic technology in PCR procedures is a key factor driving the adoption of PCR and NGS techniques. When combined with bioinformatics tools, NGS approaches provide deep sequencing of complete HLA genes to generate insights on immune disorders in which HLA associations have been implicated. These include rheumatological conditions, coeliac disease, and complex disorders such as type-1 diabetes and systemic lupus erythematosus.
Additionally, several market players have now developed and commercialized PCR and NGS-based HLA typing reagents capable of detecting many genetic changes or identifying specific HLA alleles. For instance, recent developments in line with PCR and NGS-based HLA typing reagents include:
- In 2021, BD introduced the MX instrument, a fully automated instrument that helps in molecular diagnostics. This instrument is included in the new BD COR system.
- In 2021, Bio-Rad Laboratories launched the CFX Opus 96 Dx System and CFX Opus 384Dx Systems. These systems are used in quantitative PCR and have uniform thermal performance.
- In 2022, F. Hoffman LA Roche launched its next-generation PCR. These PCR systems are used for sequencing samples and help reduce human error.
Several prominent players in the life sciences market are involved in developing and commercializing innovative HLA typing reagents, software, and instruments. These players include Abbott Laboratories, Inc., Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., and F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. With the growing focus of market players on launching technologically advanced PCR, NGS, and Sanger sequencing-based diagnostics, the market is expected to witness significant growth.
Opportunity: Rising adoption of cross-matching and chimerism testing procedures
Cross-matching is an important procedure during donor-recipient screening that can eliminate the clinical risk of immune rejection or pathogenic or other disorders in recipients. Surgeons usually perform transplantation procedures after ascertaining the results of cross-matching with the help of HLA typing during the pre-transplantation period.
Chimerism testing permits the detection and timely treatment of graft rejection or future relapse. Chimerism testing is also witnessing increasing demand as it analyzes genomic polymorphisms (STR loci) in prospective donors. Chimerism testing uses PCR-based STR/CE systems, including HLA typing. These procedures offer clinical advantages in terms of higher accuracy in patients with graft failure and leukopenia.
Challenge: Limited number of organ donations and long waiting lists for transplantations
There is a significant gap between the number of organs donated annually and the number of organ donations required. The number of patients waiting for organ transplants continuously increases across major countries worldwide. For example, there was a 37.2% increase in waiting list patients for organ transplants in the US, which increased from 83,731 to 113,000 from 2003–July 2019 (Source: US Department of Health and Human Services, 2018). As of December 2021, the European Union had 150,000 patients on the organ donation waiting list (Source: Council of Europe, 2021).
The limited number of organs donated annually worldwide is primarily due to strict government laws that limit medical reimbursements for living organ donors and a lack of public awareness about organ donation, especially in developing countries. This is further aggravated by the lower proportion of organ donations through deceased donors, mainly due to socio-ethical concerns.
Restraint: High cost of HLA typing products
HLA typing is conducted through specialized molecular diagnostic platforms with advanced technologies such as nanofabrication, microfluidics, device automation, and robotics. These advanced technologies are integrated with conventional PCR/NGS instruments to achieve the desired process outcomes, reduce cycle times, and increase sample throughput.
However, such innovative instruments require significant capital investments and extensive scientific validation for market commercialization. Most NGS or PCR-based assay manufacturers offer their instruments at premium prices. Thus, healthcare providers offer NGS and PCR-based diagnostic assays at high procedural costs. For instance, Illumina’s Trusight HLA V2, an amplicon based NGS HLA typing kit, costs around USD 5,000 for 11 HLA genes of 24 samples; this amounts to USD 208 per sample. This is further loaded with additional sequencing costs of around USD 5 (0.3 M, pair-end 100 bp on Illumina X10 platform) per sample.
