17.4 Lakh Blood Components Discarded in 2025 Despite Record Collection of 15.71 Million Units

India collected 15.71 million units of blood in 2025 while discarding 17.4 lakh components, per official data cited by ET HealthWorld. HealthTech builders have a clear gap to fill: inventory management, demand forecasting and cold chain tracking for blood and blood products. The waste suggests logistics and matching infrastructure, not supply shortage, is the bottleneck.
