Perfusion System Market Analysis by Mordor Intelligence

The perfusion system market is valued at USD 1.31 billion in 2025 and is forecast to reach USD 1.63 billion by 2030, reflecting a steady 4.58% CAGR. The current expansion mirrors the sector’s shift from experimental preservation toward standardized clinical use, supported by converging regulations and an urgent push to use every viable donor organ. Demand scales further as transplantation programs adopt machine perfusion technologies that keep organs close to physiologic conditions, enabling longer preservation windows and broader donor eligibility. Growing reliance on real-time analytics, wider clinical guidelines, and strategic acquisitions by leading vendors all raise the innovation bar and intensify competition. At the same time, device costs, uneven reimbursement, and a persistent shortage of trained perfusionists restrain adoption, especially in emerging economies where healthcare budgets are under pressure.

Key Report Takeaways

  • By technology, hypothermic machine perfusion led with 54.23% of perfusion system market share in 2024; normothermic machine perfusion is expanding at a 7.24% CAGR through 2030. 
  • By organ type, kidney preservation accounted for 37.65% of the perfusion system market size in 2024, while heart preservation is advancing at the fastest 7.52% CAGR to 2030. 
  • By end user, transplant centers commanded 69.46% revenue share in 2024; hospitals are projected to grow at a 6.34% CAGR as perfusion capabilities decentralize. 
  • By geography, North America retained leadership with 34.87% share in 2024; Asia-Pacific exhibits the strongest 8.12% CAGR to 2030. 

Segment Analysis

By Technology: Hypothermic dominance faces normothermic disruption

Hypothermic machine perfusion generated 54.23% of total 2024 revenue, underlining its deep clinical roots and multi-organ validation. Historically favored for kidneys and livers, hypothermic protocols cut delayed graft function and shorten ICU stays, helping hospitals justify the investment. The perfusion system market sees normothermic platforms accelerating at a 7.24% CAGR as physicians value the chance to monitor lactate, bile production and hemodynamics in real time. Early data from a leading U.S. center indicate a potential 14% rise in annual liver transplant volume after integrating normothermic protocols, hinting at broader clinical impact. Portable systems that maintain physiologic temperature during air transport remove the six-hour heart-transport ceiling, letting surgeons accept grafts from farther afield and thereby easing urban–rural access disparities.

The Cleveland Clinic successfully transplanted 15 out of 21 livers once deemed unsuitable, demonstrating practical gains in organ yield. Simultaneously, hypothermic oxygenated perfusion (HOPE) shows lungs can remain viable up to 20 hours with no rejections reported in pilot cohorts. As vendors release dual-temperature consoles capable of both modes, purchasing committees weigh one-machine flexibility against higher upfront price tags. Over the next five years, hybrid consoles are likely to capture share, especially at high-volume transplant hubs that process multiple organ types daily.

By Organ Type: Kidney leadership challenged by cardiac innovation

Kidney solutions captured 37.65% of the perfusion system market in 2024 thanks to the enormous transplant volume and mature reimbursement paths. This dominance is rooted in robust evidence; randomized trials show hypothermic perfusion reduces delayed graft function by 43% compared with static cold storage. Yet heart preservation systems post the highest 7.52% CAGR after the FDA cleared a device to accept donation-after-circulatory-death grafts fda.gov. Clinicians now retrieve hearts from donors whose organs were once automatically rejected, a shift that dramatically reshapes supply boundaries. Normothermic platforms keep hearts beating, allow arterial pressure measurement, and can even deliver cardioplegia on board, unlocking grafts transported across 10-hour flights.

Liver perfusion has moved beyond feasibility trials as the OrganOx metra system won Health Canada approval and approaches wider EU uptake. Ex vivo lung perfusion has turned lungs once labeled “high-risk” into transplantable grafts, and single-use devices for pancreata signal niche but rising diversification. The perfusion system market size for composite tissue, such as limbs or faces, remains small but could expand as vascularized allograft procedures gain reimbursement coverage.

By End User: Hospital adoption accelerates beyond transplant centers

Transplant institutes still held 69.46% revenue in 2024 owing to their specialized staff and donor-coordination mandates. Most early-stage clinical trials and technology validations run at these sites, anchoring vendor relationships and training programs. However, the perfusion system market records a 6.34% CAGR among general hospitals, a sign that preservation is migrating upstream into procurement workflows rather than staying confined to destination centers. Regional hospitals now keep organs viable during inter-state transfers, smoothing weekend staffing loads at major hubs.

Large health systems pilot nurse-supervised ECMO and perfusion programs to offset workforce limitations, while academic labs push the envelope by combining perfusion with regenerative techniques. ARPA-H’s PRINT initiative to bioprint personalized organs will rely on optimized perfusion to mature and vascularize complex tissue constructs before implantation.

Geography Analysis

North America commanded 34.87% of global revenue in 2024, benefiting from a robust reimbursement ecosystem and the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network’s target of 60,000 procedures by 2026. The perfusion system market size for the region is supported by Medicare models that reward volume growth and drive near-universal adoption at Level I centers. TransMedics’ Organ Care System underpins much of this surge, with company revenue up 64% year-on-year and ambitions to reach 10,000 U.S. deployments annually by 2028.

Europe maintains consistent uptake as cross-border sharing via the FOEDUS portal eases organ flow, and MDR transitional rules, though complex, ultimately harmonize technical dossiers across 27 member states. The European Society for Organ Transplantation’s advanced-therapy roadmap likewise removes ambiguity for combination products, giving vendors clearer guidance. Companies such as Paragonix and OrganOx secure CE marks and Health Canada approvals, then roll out commercial launches in Germany, France and the Nordics where centralized procurement agencies fund capital upgrades.

Asia-Pacific registers the fastest 8.12% CAGR through 2030 as governments build transplant capacity and disease prevalence swells the candidate list. India completed the world’s third-largest number of surgeries in 2023 but could meet less than 10% of its kidney demand, underlining the need for technologies that salvage marginal grafts. China, Japan and South Korea invest in portable perfusion fleets that connect rural donor hospitals to urban transplant centers within clinically acceptable timelines. Australia’s National Organ Matching System, integrated with AI-enabled analytics, likewise depends on real-time perfusion data to optimize allocation. In Southeast Asia, pilot public-private partnerships subsidize device leases, accelerating first-time adoption at tertiary hospitals.

Competitive Landscape

Industry concentration is moderate. The major players are leveraging FDA and CE clearances that create high compliance hurdles for newcomers. TransMedics’ Organ Care System spans heart, lung and liver indications and turned in USD 108.8 million for Q3 2024, a 64% leap versus 2023. Getinge’s 2024 acquisition of Paragonix folded proprietary cold-to-warm transport containers into a global channel covering 135 countries. 

OrganOx raised USD 142 million in early 2025 to fund metra platform scaling and software refinements aimed at predictive decision support. Device makers also look to AI partnerships: Terumo’s OneView monitor adds cloud telemetry that alerts surgical teams when perfusion parameters drift from targets. United Therapeutics tests xenothymokidney perfusion protocols, signaling a future in which perfusion is integral to genetically engineered organ supply chains. 

White-space opportunities include consumable subscription models, integration of blockchain for chain-of-custody tracking, and compact consoles designed for helicopter retrieval missions. Start-ups exploring microsensor arrays and machine-learning scoring will likely license software to established infrastructure players, expanding the perfusion system market while keeping hardware ecosystems relatively consolidated.
