The global HLA typing market is projected to grow from USD 1.7 billion in 2025 to USD 2.3 billion by 2030, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0% over the forecast period from 2025 to 2030. Transplantation continues to be the preferred treatment option for many patients suffering from chronic dialysis-dependent end-stage renal disease, as well as those requiring heart, liver, or bone marrow transplants. Over the past decade, significant advancements have been made in HLA typing technologies, antibody monitoring, diagnostic methods, and specialized software developed by various companies. These innovations have become integral to the organ transplantation process, enhancing precision and reliability, and have played a key role in driving the expansion of the HLA typing market.
The commercial service providers segment accounted for the highest growth rate in the HLA typing market, by product and service, during the forecast period.
Based on end-user segmentation, the HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) typing market is categorized into commercial service providers, hospitals and transplant centers, and research laboratories and academic institutions. Among these, commercial service providers generated the highest revenue and are expected to witness strong growth, driven by the global rise in organ and stem cell transplants, which require precise, high-throughput HLA typing for effective donor-recipient matching. Growing awareness of personalized medicine, advancements in molecular diagnostics, and the increasing adoption of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies are key factors fueling demand for more specialized reagents and kits.

The diagnostic applications segment held the largest market share in 2024.
The HLA typing market is categorized based on application into diagnostic applications—including donor-recipient cross-matching, infectious disease testing, cancer diagnosis and prevention, transfusion therapy, and other diagnostic uses—and research applications. The diagnostic application segment is projected to dominate the market throughout the forecast period, with infectious disease testing accounting for the largest share within this segment. This is largely due to the heightened risk transplant recipients face of acquiring infections from donors. Current donor epidemiological screening methods and laboratory diagnostics have limitations in accurately assessing these risks, making infectious disease testing a critical and continuously growing focus area within the diagnostic segment of the transplant diagnostics market.
The market in the North America region is expected to hold a significant market share for the HLA typing market in 2023.
The HLA typing market spans five key regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa. In North America, the market is experiencing strong growth driven by the increasing demand for organ and stem cell transplants, the rising prevalence of chronic and autoimmune diseases, and the adoption of advanced molecular diagnostic techniques. This growth is further supported by a well-established healthcare infrastructure, government initiatives such as the National Marrow Donor Program, and greater public awareness of the importance of accurate HLA matching. The region is a hub for innovation and research, with many leading companies in the HLA typing space headquartered in the region. As a result, cutting-edge technologies, including next-generation sequencing (NGS), are being rapidly adopted, further fueling market expansion.
