Blood & Organ Banks in the US industry analysis

Blood and organ banks have experienced moderate growth but continued financial strain. While revenue has grown steadily, driven by consistent demand for blood products and record-setting organ transplant volumes, profit has remained stubbornly low, remaining stagnant between 2020 and 2022. Operating costs have risen, but wages and staffing levels have remained largely flat, with automation helping organizations maintain output despite leaner workforces amid staffing shortages. Key challenges have included recurring blood shortages, especially during winter and post-holiday seasons, as well as increasing exposure to cyber threats that have disrupted donation and processing systems. These vulnerabilities, alongside workforce limitations and tightening hospital budgets, have underscored the industry's fragility despite its critical role in public health. In all, revenue has been expanding at a CAGR of 4.3% to an estimated $21.3 billion over the past five years, including expected growth of 3.5% in 2025.

Trends and Insights

  • New federal reforms overhauled the oversight of the organ donation and transplant system. The 2023 law ending UNOS’s monopoly introduces competitive contracting and stricter benchmarks for OPOs. Organ banks now face heightened scrutiny, operational audits and pressure to modernize systems or risk losing federal certification.
  • Blood and organ banks rely on a diverse mix of revenue sources. Funding comes from private insurers, government programs, hospitals, grants and other healthcare entities. This broad base adds resilience but also creates administrative complexity.
  • California and Florida have the highest concentration of blood banks relative to population. Both states exceed their population share in establishment count, driven by large hospital networks, transplant demand and a high volume of seasonal or aging residents.
  • Blood banks compete fiercely for hospital contracts and loyal donors. Securing these relationships is critical, driving banks to maintain outreach programs and strategic partnerships to strengthen their position.

Trends and Insights

Concentration depends on the proficiency of the donation and collection process to meet needs

  • Increasing physician visits and growth in adults over 50 will help buoy the need for services. Expansion in the number of people with private health insurance will significantly influence organ demand (as third-party payers will cover transplant expenses) and egg banking for fertility services.
