The global organ and tissue transplantation market stands to gain from the increasing living donor organs and surging transplant procedure success rate. Further, growing number of awareness programs aimed at eliminating misconceptions and fear of organ donations, and attitudinal change of organ donation as a social responsibility, especially after-life organ donation is significantly driving the growth in organ donations.

Although donations of cadaveric organs have decreased, of late, living donor organs have been witnessing dramatic increase. Especially, organs such as kidneys and liver are increasingly being donated by living donors. Moreover, living donations to the stranger category has been rising considerably compared to living donations for family members. Increasing awareness among people towards organ donations has been playing a major role in increasing organ donations from living persons.

Scarcity of donor organs is the major issue daunting the organ transplantation market. Donor organs are available to about one-third of patients on waiting lists. While, majority of the patients on the waiting list die without the receipt of a donor organ. Apart from shortage of organs, other major barrier for transplantation includes organ rejection. The primary factor affecting organ rejection is the patient’s vigorous immune system that treats the implanted donor organ as a harmful foreign body and fights off the organ. In addition, finding an appropriate donor, preventing infections, and preventing graft vasculopathy or blood vessels blockage in transplanted organ represent the other issues for organ transplantation.
