Organ Transport Service Market Report 2025

The organ transport service market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.06 billion in 2024 to $3.36 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8%. The growth in the historic period can be credited to the rising demand for organ transplants, the expansion of transplant hospitals, increasing cases of organ failure, the development of regulations for organ logistics, and the growth of public-private partnerships in healthcare.

The organ transport service market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.81 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing adoption of artificial intelligence for logistics coordination, rising investment in transplant infrastructure, growing demand for real-time organ tracking, higher prevalence of lifestyle-related organ failures, and the expansion of transplant services in emerging markets. Key trends in the forecast period include the use of drones for organ delivery, real-time GPS tracking of shipments, digital twin modeling for transport simulations, 5G-enabled monitoring systems, advanced preservation methods such as normothermic perfusion, and machine learning for predicting optimal delivery windows.

The increasing demand for organ transplants is expected to drive growth in the organ transport service market. Organ transplants replace failing or damaged organs with healthy donor organs, and the rising prevalence of chronic and end-stage organ diseases is fueling demand for these life-saving procedures. Organ transport services play a critical role by ensuring donor organs are delivered swiftly and safely to transplant centers while maintaining optimal conditions, minimizing travel time, and preserving viability to enhance transplant success and patient survival. For example, in January 2024, the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) reported that 46,632 organ transplants were performed in the United States in 2023, representing an 8.7% increase compared to 2022.

Key players in the organ transport service market are leveraging strategic partnerships to improve the speed, safety, and efficiency of organ delivery. Strategic partnerships allow companies to combine expertise and resources to expand service coverage and operational efficiency. In September 2024, Paragonix Technologies Inc., a US-based organ transplant company, partnered with Nationwide Organ Recovery Transport Alliance (NORA) to launch a cross-US organ courier service. This initiative uses commercial flights instead of private jets, combining Paragonix’s advanced organ preservation devices with NORA’s logistics expertise to offer a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly organ transport solution.

In August 2024, Getinge AB, a Sweden-based medical technology company, acquired Paragonix Technologies for approximately $477 million. This acquisition strengthens Getinge’s presence in the organ transplant ecosystem by integrating Paragonix’s advanced organ preservation and digital transport tracking technologies into its acute care and perfusion portfolio, enhancing the efficiency, safety, and effectiveness of organ transplant solutions.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sudden escalation of U.S. tariffs and the consequent trade frictions in spring 2025 are severely impacting the healthcare sector, particularly in the supply of critical medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are facing higher costs for imported surgical instruments, imaging equipment, and consumables such as syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic alternatives. These increased costs are straining healthcare budgets, leading some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass on expenses to patients. Additionally, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the production of essential drugs and devices, causing supply chain bottlenecks. In response, the industry is diversifying sourcing strategies, boosting local manufacturing where possible, and advocating for tariff exemptions on life-saving medical products.

Organ transport service is a specialized medical and logistics solution designed to ensure the rapid, safe, and temperature-controlled transfer of donated organs from the donor site to the recipient or transplant facility. These services manage timing, packaging, preservation, and regulatory compliance to maintain organ viability, minimize ischemic damage, and optimize transplantation success.

The primary types of organ transport services include ground transportation and air transportation. Ground transportation utilizes dedicated vehicles to securely and efficiently move organs between hospitals, transplant centers, and airports. These services handle various organ types, including livers, kidneys, hearts, lungs, pancreases, intestines, and others. They are applicable for both domestic and international transport and are primarily used by hospitals, transplant centers, and related medical facilities.
