South Africa Disposable Blood Bags Market - Overview

A disposable blood bag is a biomedical device used to collect, store, transport, and transfuse human blood components and blood. The system is made up of one or more tubes and a needle cover. Plastic is used to make blood bags. These are made of bio-compatible PVC that has been mixed with the appropriate additives. The bags are sterilized after being made using a high-frequency welding method.

Growth Drivers

Rising Traffic-related Deaths and Injuries

The demand for disposable blood bags is expected to rise during the forecast period due to an estimated rise in the number of traffic accidents. Million individuals each year pass away in automobile accidents. For people between the ages of 15 and 29, traffic accidents are the leading cause of death. By 2029, road traffic accidents are predicted to overtake all other causes of death if current laws and regulations are not enforced.

Restraints

Dangers of Plastic Blood Bags

When plastic bags are utilized unevenly or contaminated, the risk of HIV transmission, hepatitis B or C transmission, and sepsis is enhanced. Hepatitis C, for instance, is an infectious liver illness that is brought on by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). Hepatitis C is the most prevalent chronic bloodborne infection acquired by blood transfusions in the United States. A patient may be reluctant to use plastic bags that are meant to be thrown away for any of these causes. They choose freshly donated blood from donors over disposable blood bags. This poses a significant obstacle to the market expansion for disposable plastic blood bags. Also, a decreased number of blood donations in developing countries, such as South Africa, has an impact on the market.

Impact of COVID-19 on the South Africa Disposable Blood Bags Market

COVID-19 outbreak had a positive impact on South Africa disposable blood bag market. Passive immunotherapy using whole blood or plasma from recovered patients has emerged as a potential infection strategy in the COVID-19 pandemic. Transfusing neutralizing antibodies through convalescent blood is a widely used strategy in hospitals across the country. Therefore, the rapid adoption of immunotherapy using blood and plasma increases the use of blood bags, which is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period. Thus, the high risk associated with blood donation and transfusion stifles market growth.
