Plasma Market Dynamics & COVID19 Impact

Conclusions • The COVID-19 pandemic has caused plasma collections to decrease in the United States, Europe and worldwide. At the same time, the IG demand has continued to increase in Europe between 2019 and 2020. • As a result of these opposite trends, the self-sufficiency rate for Europe dropped in 2020 vs 2019, covering only 60% of the plasma needed by patients for the production of immunoglobulins. Europe would need to increase plasma collections by 5.6 million liters, or 67%, which is two thirds, to provide enough plasma for fractionation to meet the IG needs of all its patients in 2020. 18 (MRB)
