In the coming decade European countries will see an increased need for plasma-derived medicines to treat their patients for a range of rare diseases and critical medical conditions. While demand for blood components for transfusion remains relatively stable, a European Commission survey (2014) shows that demand for plasma derivatives is increasing by some 6% per year.
