India Transplantation Market Trends:

Rising Prevalence of Chronic Diseases Necessitating Organ Transplants

The rising prevalence of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, and chronic kidney disease (CKD), in India has significantly increased the demand for organ transplantation. CKD, in particular, has emerged as a major health concern, with a growing number of patients being diagnosed at advanced stages. According to the Chronic Kidney Disease Registry’s March 2024 report, the incidence of CKD among Indians is escalating rapidly, with many cases identified at stages 4 and 5. This surge in chronic illnesses has directly impacted organ transplantation rates. In 2023, India recorded approximately 18,378 organ transplants, with kidney transplants constituting a substantial share. Additionally, the country has become a hub for medical tourism, as 10% of these procedures were performed for foreign nationals seeking advanced transplant services. The increasing burden of chronic diseases highlights the critical need for organ transplantation, driving the expansion of India’s transplantation market and reinforcing its role as a key player in global healthcare.

Government Initiatives Enhancing Organ Donation and Transplantation Infrastructure

The government has launched several initiatives to enhance organ donation and transplantation infrastructure, driving significant market growth. The establishment of the National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organization (NOTTO) in New Delhi, along with five Regional Organ and Tissue Transplant Organizations (ROTTOs) and 16 State Organ and Tissue Transplant Organizations (SOTTOs), has enhanced the coordination of organ donation and transplantation nationwide. Additionally, financial assistance programs have been introduced to support transplant patients. In February 2024, the Assam government unveiled the Sushrusha Scheme, providing INR 1 lakh (approximately USD 1,195.86) in financial aid to kidney transplant recipients. Public awareness campaigns, such as "Angdaan Mahotsav" and "Organ Donation Month," launched in July 2023, have played a crucial role in educating citizens about the significance of organ donation, leading to a surge in donor registrations. These efforts have resulted in a substantial increase in deceased-donor transplants, rising from 837 a decade ago to 2,935 in 2023, underscoring the growing acceptance of organ donation in India.
