on the blood industry.
Since BCC first looked at this market in 2001 there have been mergers, consolidations
and acquisitions among the major companies as well as advances in technology that
have allowed for obtaining more red blood cells from fewer donors. Technological
advances have also allowed for greater economies and increased safety in the blood
supply.

SCOPE AND FORMAT
This study encompasses the wide range of products and services that comprise the
global blood industry marketplace. The U.S. market, the largest in the world, provides
the primary market breakdown with supplemental information given for other select
regions. The focus of the report is two-fold: first, blood for donation and the
components and derived products from this blood and plasma, and second, products
used to provide and support collection, processing and transfusion. Excluded from
consideration are the clinical blood tests for diseases and conditions not involved in
managing blood and plasma products.
METHODOLOGY AND INFORMATION SOURCES
Data for this study were collected using both primary and secondary data research
techniques. Literature searches of various sources including scientific, medical and
business publications and databases were conducted. On-line databases and
government sources were consulted as well. Extensive interviews with industry
personnel, scientists, professional and trade organizations, government agency
personnel, observers, scientists, and industry professionals were conducted.
Data collected were analyzed to determine specific findings and forecasts. Once these
forecasts were obtained they were validated with industry experts. Since some
segments of this report are not routinely measured, BCC derived estimates from a

noted. It should be pointed out that while many factors were considered in
constructing different models, the projections are ultimately speculative. As a
composite of the opinions and assessments of interviewees, the author, other analysts,
and secondary sources, these projections represent something of a consensus.
However, all recognize that the relative importance of selected factors could change at
any time with new technologies and new products, and thus change the direction of
the market projections. All forecasts use constant 2013 dollars.
