Further, the UK market of Transplant Diagnostics held the largest market share, and the German market of Transplant Diagnostics was the fastest-growing market in the European region.

The Asia Pacific Transplant Diagnostics market is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. This is due to the rising number of organ transplants, donors, and the government's support in developing the transplant diagnosis market in the region. The Asia Pacific comprises a large pool of patient population and developing advanced healthcare infrastructure. 

A vast rise in the prevalence of several chronic diseases and the resultant rise in transplant procedures, coupled with the availability of vast untapped growth opportunities in this region will attract many companies in the upcoming years. Moreover, China’s market of Transplant Diagnostics held the largest market share, and the Indian market of Transplant Diagnostics was the fastest-growing market in Asia-Pacific.

The global market is highly competitive with very few players competing in the international market. The quality and accuracy constraints of transplant diagnostic techniques like serology-based and PCR-based HLA typing increase the overall cost of products. As a result, players are implementing strategies, such as long-term contracts with diagnostic clinics and laboratories and discount pricing for bulk purchases.

Companies in the in the market of Transplant Diagnostics are using the

Next Generation Sequencing

(NGS) for conducting tests to match organ donors and recipients. NGS technology allows the sequencing of an entire human genome, i.e., millions of DNA molecules within a single day. In Next-generation sequencing (NSG), genes are matched between the donor and recipient and depending on the extent of match, decision to perform organ transplantation is made. Nearly all transplant diagnostic tests and devices currently use this technology to decide on organ transplantation. For example, Castle Biosciences launched Decision Dx-CMSeq Test that used NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) to identify somatic mutations in genes.

Eurofins Scientific SE is a French group of laboratories headquartered in Luxembourg, providing testing and support services to the pharmaceutical, food, environmental, agriscience and consumer products industries and to governments. In June 2019, Eurofins Scientific acquired Transplant Genomics Inc to improve organ transplant outcomes with non-invasive serial monitoring guided by genomics.

Immucor Inc is a global in vitro diagnostics company specializing in the area of pre-transfusion diagnostics.
