As blood transfusion has evolved, there is a need to understand its historical trends and underlying drivers. Furthermore, for blood bank management to make decisions about the future, they need to consider what transformational factors (defined as developments in science, society, and technology) could significantly impact blood demand and to what effect. This study has a two‐fold aim: to explore transfusion experts' perspectives regarding 1) historical trends and drivers of red blood cells (RBCs) in the past 20 years and 2) transformational factors that would impact the future demand of RBCs and to what effect.
