The Global Albumin Market Size is expected to reach USD 9.6 Billion by 2032, at a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period 2022 to 2032.

Albumin is the most abundant protein found in blood plasma. It is used to replace lost fluids and to help restore blood volume after trauma, burns, surgeries, infections, and liver diseases. It helps in drug stability by reducing aggregation, oxidation, and surface absorption. Serum albumins of various types are widely used in clinical applications. Human and bovine serum albumins are derived from human and bovine plasma, respectively. The rise in the prevalence of life-threatening disorders, special liver diseases, infections, and cardiac surgeries that result in hypoalbuminemia, as well as the development of new albumin products by a large number of key players, are driving growth in the global albumin market. Increased demand for albumin in R&D activities, an increase in non-therapeutic albumin applications, the development of plant-based albumin, an increase in immunoglobulin production, and an increase in plasma collection these factors driving the growth of the albumin market during the forecast period.

Driving Factors

Increased hypoalbuminemia prevalence and other medical conditions are driving the albumin market growth during the forecast period. The global demand for plasma-derived therapies, particularly albumin, has increased significantly. This increase is mostly due to an increase in the cases of various life-threatening disorders, special liver diseases, infections, and cardiac surgeries that result in hypoalbuminemia. Hypoalbuminemia is a condition characterized by decreased albumin production or increased loss of this protein through the kidneys, GI tract, skin, or extravascular space. It is the most common condition in critically ill and hospitalized patients. Albumin therapeutics or specific albumin therapies can be used to treat such life-threatening disorders. As a result, the increasing demand for such treatments is expected to drive the demand for the global albumin market during the forecast period.

Restraining Factors       

Several countries have strict government regulations that limit product adoption. Factors such as a lack of therapeutic products and stringent government regulations hamper their widespread use. Government agencies in both developed and developing countries ensure that the plasma collected and delivered meets all quality, safety, and potency criteria. Furthermore, government agencies will not accept plasma as a starting material unless it meets certain safety and quality criteria. As a result, the lengthy product approval process and stringent government regulations may limit market growth to some extent.

Market Segmentation

By Product Insights

The human serum albumin segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global albumin market during the forecast period.

Based on the product, the global albumin market is classified into human serum albumin, recombinant albumin, and bovine serum albumin. Among these, human serum albumin is expected to hold the largest share of the albumin market during the forecast period. The segmental growth is mainly due to the introduction of new products into the market and increased sales of drugs used to treat hypoalbuminemia.

By Application Insights
