The rising incidence and prevalence of leukemia is a key driver propelling the growth of the leukapheresis market. Leukemia, a type of blood cancer characterized by abnormal proliferation of white blood cells, requires advanced treatment and diagnostic approaches that often rely on leukapheresis procedures. The demand for effective leukemia management has expanded significantly as global cancer incidence continues to rise due to factors such as aging populations, environmental influences, and lifestyle changes.
Furthermore, the growing adoption of leukapheresis in cell-based therapies, particularly in CAR-T and stem cell research, has strengthened its clinical value. Hospitals, research laboratories, and biopharmaceutical companies increasingly depend on leukapheresis to ensure high-quality cell yields for personalized treatment protocols. The surge in leukemia cases has also stimulated investments in advanced apheresis technologies aimed at improving efficiency, safety, and patient comfort. Collectively, these trends highlight how the growing leukemia burden across both developed and developing regions continues to serve as a fundamental growth catalyst for the global leukapheresis industry.

Based on the type, the industry is classified into leukapheresis devices and leukapheresis disposables. Of all, the leukapheresis device segment held the largest share in the global market. In 2024, the increasing adoption of therapeutic leukapheresis procedures and devices used for leukemia treatment was driving the market growth of this segment. The growing adoption of and rising blood collection centers using these devices is another major factor supporting industry growth.
Furthermore, the rising number of product launches and mergers & acquisitions by the players in the market is propelling the market growth. For instance, in May 2019, JCRC company innovated an apheresis machine that helps in cell collection and is being used in the country, such as Uganda. The device uses optical detection technology and innovations in the concerned sector, increasing the segment’s growth prospects.
On the basis of application, the global market is categorized into research and therapeutic areas. The research application is expected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period, owing to an increasing number of research activities focused on leukapheresis and increasing healthcare spending by the government. For instance, research studies are being conducted to hypothesize. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy may be offered to people with cancer. Moreover, leukapheresis is considered the first step in such treatment.
The leukapheresis market is categorized into blood centers, research institutes, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, hospitals, and transfusion centers based on application. The blood center is anticipated to register the highest growth over the study period, owing to various factors such as the increasing number of blood donations and the increasing research studies focused on using these cells to treat diseases such as cancer.

North America dominated the leukapheresis market due to various factors such as well-established healthcare infrastructure, the increasing patient population suffering from leukemia, and a rising number of R&D activities in this region. In addition, focus on improving patients suffering from cancer by using CAR T cells coupled with well-established significant players in the market involved in new product launches, strategic collaborations, mergers & acquisitions, and expansions is likely to complement market growth.
For instance, considering the rising burden of leukemia in this region, according to the American Cancer Society, 60,530 new cases of all types of leukemia resulted in 23,100 deaths in 2020. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most prevalent type of leukemia that led to 19,940 cases in the U.S. Therefore, this rising burden of the disease in this region demands an effective treatment such as leukapheresis, and in turn, these aids to augment the market growth.
The Asia Pacific is expected to exhibit the fastest-growing region. This region's market growth can be attributed to the increase in clinical trials focused on CAR-T cell therapy and the rapidly increasing pool of patient populations suffering from leukemia and other cancer types. These factors are promoting the market growth of leukapheresis in this region.
