Regenerative Medicine Market Trends

Growth Drivers

• Rising prevalence of the chronic disease: The rising burden of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, and neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s is a prominent growth driving factor of the market. In North America, more than 12.2 million patients who were found to have degenerative joint disease are eligible candidates for regenerative therapies. Other than this, in Europe, 8 million cases of foot ulcer create the demand for skin graft alternatives. Chronic diseases require long-term management of the patient, requiring a robust healthcare infrastructure. The application of regenerative therapies lowers the long-term expenses by curing the root cause instead of just the symptoms.

• Technological advancements and FDA fast-tracking: In 2023, the Food and Drug Administration's RMAT program expedited 12 approvals for regenerative products. Also, the advent of CRISPR-based therapies is anticipated to lower the production costs by 51% by 2026. The adoption of cutting-edge technology and other regulatory accelerations is catalyzing the market for regenerative medicines. These technological leaps are eradicating the conventional barriers in the development of the regenerative medicines market. Simultaneously, attracting venture capital and reshaping the paradigm of the treatments for numerous degenerative as well as chronic diseases.

• Improvement in healthcare quality and cost saving: The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality in 2023 stated that early utilization of the stem cell therapy for knee osteoarthritis lowered hospitalizations by 35.3% and saved USD 1.82 billion over 2 years. Also, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence in the UK reported that 28.2% drop in the repeat surgeries for spinal disc injuries after the adoption of the cell-based therapies. The adoption of patient-centric strategies, such as iPSC-derived treatments, is proving to be efficacious in improving the efficacy.

Challenges

• High cost of treatment and limited reimbursement: The Medicaid in the U.S. covers only 15.3% of CAR-T therapies owing to high costs of USD 500,100 per patient. In 2023, the IQWiG in Germany rejected 41% of the regenerative therapies for lacking cost-effectiveness. Other than this, BlueBird Bio lowered the prices of gene therapy by 41% in Europe to align with the threshold of the payer.

• Supply chain vulnerabilities and payer resistance: The World Health Organization in 2023 reported that 31% of the cell therapies were lost due to cold chain failures. For instance, Thermo Fisher invested USD 310 million in EU-based bioreactors to lower the reliance on imports.
