COVID-19 IMPACT

Organ Preservation Industry Had a positive Effect Due to urgency to improve organ preservation techniques during COVID-19 Pandemic.

Covid-19 had a notable impact on the Organ Preservation market share. The aforementioned organ preservation market saw an unexpected and spectacular increase in demand due to crises caused by the pandemic - SARS-CoV-2 virus. Also, there has been a growth trend in the market after the global COVID-19 pandemic, with demand in all regions of the organ preservation market exceeding pre-pandemic levels. Their impact on the growth rate index is the highest among all other factors, and this is why the market development and demand reception seem to turn back to pre-pandemic levels.

The COVID-19 pandemic wrought havoc on the organ preservation market such that initial hard lockdowns along with the redirecting of resources to the pandemic fight significantly curbed the number of organ transplantation procedures worldwide. As a direct consequence, fewer organs needed preserving and transporting which led to the reduction in the demand for organ preservation solutions. At the same time, there were also disruptions in the supply chain that limited the delivery of the preservation materials and devices.

It is, however, worth noting that the pandemic was also the driver of some improvements in the market. One instance is when the desire to have better organ preservation methods in a situation such as the pandemic, where there seem to be fewer organ donations, accelerated research and development work in areas like machine perfusion and novel preservation solutions. So, even though there was a short contraction in the overall market for the pandemic, this could have prolonged consequences in the form of accelerated innovation and, therefore, increased demand resulting from a renewed focus on improving the efficiency of organ transplantation and overcoming logistical barriers.

ORGAN PRESERVATION MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on Type, the global market can be categorized into Static Cold Storage, Hypothermic Machine Perfusion, Normothermic Machine Perfusion.

• Static Cold Storage: Static Cold Storage or SCS is a preservation method in which the organ is kept in a static cold solution usually on ice. While simple and accessible to almost everyone, it has some drawbacks in terms of preservation duration and organ quality. It is still the main method used for kidneys, however.

• Hypothermic Machine Perfusion: Hypothermic Machine Perfusion (HMP) works by cooling the organ with a preservation solution, which is then circulated through a machine. HMP enhances preservation as it ensures that the organ is both fed with oxygen and provided with nutrients. This doubles preservation time and also increases organ viability after transplantation.

• Normothermic Machine Perfusion: Normothermic Machine Perfusion (NMP) uses a warm preservation solution and the organ is supplied with all the materials that the body naturally does. This is the most cutting-edge method that leads to the longest preservation time and probably the highest organ quality. At the moment, it is still in the phase of intensive research and limited clinical trials.

By Application

Based on application, the global market can be categorized into Kidneys, Liver, Lung, Heart.

• Kidney: Solutions for Kidney preservation play a key role in keeping the organ alive during the transfer stage before a transplant. A successful preservation stage prolongs the time for transplantation and increases survival of the transplanted tissue. It goes without saying that this leads to a rise in the number of kidney transplants made with success.

• Liver: The Liver Preservation techniques target the elimination of ischemic injury and the maintenance of liver functions during the transplantation process. Some of the methods for liver preservation are hypothermic storage, machine perfusion, and so on, which are used for mitigating liver diseases. These changes finally convert into the improvement of post-transplant outcomes and patient survival.

• Lung: The main focus of lung preservation is maintaining the lung's delicate structure and function during transfer to another place. This can be through the use of preventive drugs or surgeries, together with the transplantation procedure, which will check for the presence of inflammation or edema and other such manifestations to be managed or prevented in the future. Hence the good preservation measures provide for successful lung transplant rates as well as the assurance of patient survival post-operation.

• Heart: Preservation of the heart is only done to keep the organ alive and make sure it is still performing well even though it is outside the body before the transplant. Basically, the operations that come along at this phase are integrally studied examples of solutions and techniques to avoid the occurrence of damage during the preservation stage. The aim is to turn the patient with the best prognosis into a fortunate recipient of the transplants most effective in this way, enhancing clinical outcomes in cardiac surgery.

MARKET DYNAMICS

Driving Factors

Growing Global Burden of Organ Failure to Boost the Market

A factor in the Organ Preservation market growth is the Growing Global Burden of Organ Failure. The rising frequency of chronic diseases, for example, diabetes and cardiac insufficiency, is the main reason that the demand for organ transplantation has significantly increased. Besides, the continuously growing elderly population continues to worsen this matter causing the need for organ preservation solutions to be higher and higher. The longer preservation of organs is very important in the enlargement of the donor pool as well as in increasing the success rates of transplantation. Therefore, the use of better devices for preservation is a very big step in facing the worldwide shortage of organs. This increase in demand is directly connected to a higher market requirement for more advanced technologies in organ preservation. As a result, a lot of money is going to be used for the research and development of this field.

Technological Advancements in Organ Preservation to Expand the Market

A major breakthrough in the organ preservation field is the success of methods such as machine perfusion and hypothermic storage. These new methods open up the possibility to keep organs alive much longer than it had been possible before. The production of hybrids of new preservation solutions is also improving the quality of the organs that are the subjects of the transplants, and consequently the health of the patients. The first to benefit from this technological leap-laced market will be the most consumers who, among other things, will enjoy falling prices and a broader product choice. Moreover, the competition at the heart of this pricing will facilitate the ascension of the market and further innovation in the organ preservation sector must occur because of this competition. Thus the achievements offer the possibility of a longer lifespan and a better quality of life for the patients.

Restraining Factor

Cold Storage Costs to Potentially Impede Market Growth

One of the major challenges that the organ preservation market represent are the high costs of cold storage. Extremely low temperatures must be used in the special equipment and facilities that are needed to keep the organs alive. This gives rise to both considerable initial investments and also constant operational costs. A large part of this money is paid from the budgets of healthcare institutions, prices of healthcare services are raised and thus healthcare providers have to charge patients in the end. The existence of adequate storage prevents the wide use of organ preservation. This is a vehicle that slows down the market and restricts the number of lives being saved.

Organ Regeneration via Bioprinting To Create Opportunity for the Product in the Market

Opportunity

It is going to be a dynamic regeneration and not static storage that bioprinting technology will be used to create the future of organ preservation. Functional organs made from the patient’s cells will be the result of this technology, thus no long-term preservation will be necessary, and the risk of rejection will be dramatically reduced. Transplants through this method will be vastly different from the current system that is based on shortages and they will instead become on-demand organ production.

The prospect of this market is to come up with and scale the bioprinting process, along with the use of advanced biomaterial science for the best possible organ development. This will give the waiting list a huge cut and better patient outcomes. Placing money in this sector will bring a good deal of profit and will be a positive global healthcare contribution.

Maintaining the viability of complex organ systems Could Be a Potential Challenge for Consumers

Challenge

Though the organ preservation market is expanding rapidly, it is confronted with a major challenge of a different nature: keeping complex organ systems alive during long interplanetary trips. Present cryopreservation methods are a big letdown for long-duration space missions as they pose the danger of organ death inside the spacecraft and the resulting failure of transplanted organs at the new habitats.

It is indeed a very difficult task to come up with solid, non-cryogenic biostasis techniques that are capable of keeping cells intact for years of space travel and using minimal resources at the same time. The future of organ transplantation is basically hanging on solving this difficult task.
