Reza Shojaei: The Plasma Map of Tomorrow Won’t Look Like Today’s
Reza Shojaei, Chief Operating Officer at Canadian Plasma Resources, shared on LinkedIn:
“The New Plasma Frontiers: Growth Beyond the West
Plasma-derived medicines save millions of lives, but the source of plasma remains heavily concentrated.
Only five countries still provide nearly 80 % of the world’s supply, leaving most regions dependent on imports.
That’s changing.
Across Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East, governments are investing in plasma collection networks, fractionation plants, and regulatory frameworks aimed at self-sufficiency. From India’s National Plasma Policy to Brazil’s new hemoderivatives facility and Saudi Arabia’s biotech expansion, a quiet revolution is reshaping where the world’s plasma comes from.
The plasma map of tomorrow won’t look like today’s.”
