Market Segmentation Synopsis
By Product
The global stem cell and regenerative medicine market is segmented on the basis of product into adult stem cells, human embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells and very small embryonic like stem cells. Among these segments, adult stem cells segment accounted for 82.9% share in 2016 and is predicted to occupy the largest market of stem cell and regenerative medicine owing to wide scale applications of adult stem cells in the cell regeneration of various diseases. The adult stem cells segment is further segmented into neural, hematopoietic, mesenchymal, umbilical cord, epithelial and others, out of which, the hematopoietic, mesenchymal and umbilical cord stem cells are the major revenue generating segments that are driving the adult stem cells with dominant share in overall stem cell & regenerative medicine across the globe.
By Application
The global stem cell & regenerative medicine market is segmented by application into regenerative medicine and drug discovery & development. The segment with major market share was drug discovery and development in 2016 and is believed to dominate the market with a Y-O-Y growth rate of 5.5% in the year 2024. This is primarily due to the development of more therapeutic strategies on the back of increasing prevalence of diseases such as cancer, diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases along with growing geriatric population.
By Technology
The global stem cell & regenerative medicine market is divided by technology into cell acquisition, cell production, cryopreservation and expansion & sub-culture. The cell acquisition is further segmented into bone marrow harvest, umbilical cord blood, apheresis and others, out of which, the bone marrow harvest segment crossed USD 2,070 Million in 2016 and is believed to garner largest market valuation by the end of 2024. The stem cells are technically easy to harvest from bone marrow and could be used without culture expansion while avoiding a risk of allogeneic disease transmission. This method is mostly used to acquire stem cells and is predicted to drive the cell acquisition segment with dominant share over the forecast period.
By Therapy
The global stem cell & regenerative medicine market is segmented by therapy into allogeneic and autologous stem cell therapy. More than 50% of patient’s preference is towards the autologous stem cell therapy as compared to the allogeneic stem cell therapy.
By End-User
The global stem cell & regenerative medicine market is divided by end-user into pharmaceutical & biotechnology industry, medical industry and research institutes. The pharmaceutical & biotechnology industry segment is estimated to remain highest by crossing USD 12,000 Million during 2024 owing to the increasing investment in the private manufacturing sector to devise more efficient therapies to address the rising global disease incidence rates.
The study further incorporates Y-O-Y Growth, demand & supply and forecast future opportunity in North America (United States, Canada), Latin America (Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Rest of LATAM), Europe (U.K., Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Hungary, BENELUX [Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg], NORDIC [Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland], Poland, Russia, Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, India, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, Rest of Asia-Pacific), Middle East and Africa (Israel, GCC [Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman], North Africa, South Africa, Rest of Middle East and Africa).
Market Drivers & Challenges
Growth Indicators
The global healthcare industry is booming on the account of rising disposable income and increasing awareness about chronic diseases combined with rising cases of diabetes among older population especially in developed countries such as United States, Australia and others. These reasons are likely to propel the demand for stem cell and regenerative medicine during the forecast period. Moreover, the applications of stem cells in regenerative medicine and disease therapies are resulting in decreased dependence on conventional therapies which are relatively less efficient & impose a financial burden on the patients. Further, government and private companies are spending a significant amount on stem cell research activities. This rising research expenditure will boost the growth of the stem cell and regenerative medicine market over the forecast period.
Additionally, evolving trend of medical tourism across the globe is also believed to positively impact the growth of the stem cell and regenerative medicine market in the near future.
Barriers
The high cost of stem cell and regenerative medicine is expected to limit the growth of the stem cell and regenerative medicine market. Moreover, lack of awareness in under-developed nations is hindering the demand for stem cell and regenerative medicine.
