Havocscope is currently estimating the illicit market value for organ trafficking to be $50 million based on the following sources.
1. According to the World Health Organization, the average price paid to a kidney donor on the black market is ” likely to be about US $5000.
2. An article from Reuters quoted a health official who stated ” Something like 10,000 kidneys are transplanted every year from living donors who are paid sometimes small amounts.”
10,000 estimated kidneys X $5,000 = $50,000,000.
