The Blood Plasma Derivatives Market was valued at $23,613 million in 2016, and is projected to reach $44,333 million at a CAGR of 9.3% from 2017 to 2023. Blood plasma is the liquid component of blood constituting of water along with plasma components such as immunoglobulin, electrolytes, glucose, clotting factors, electrolytes, and hormones. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the electrolyte and osmotic balance while preventing infection and blood disorders in the body. Plasma derivatives are the concentrates of specific proteins, which require pooling of plasma from large number of donors.

They are obtained by the process of fractionation where protein concentrates are separated and then clinically used.
