Global Markets for Artificial Blood and Plasma | Forecast 2027
The human body contains a vital fluid called blood, which delivers oxygen and nutrients to the body cells and carries waste products away from the cells in a gas exchange process. The artificial bloods being developed are intended to satisfy some of the functions of biological blood, particularly in humans. The objective of first-generation oxygen-carrying blood substitutes is solely to imitate blood’s oxygen transport function. Intense research is going on with more functional artificial blood, which could hypothetically emulate additional components and functions of human blood. Currently, two fundamental approaches to artificial blood are being taken: perfluorocarbons and hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers. These artificial blood products could increase survival of patients, especially during surgery when blood loss is high. ...
