The rising prevalence of rare genetic illnesses is expected to fuel the expansion of the stem cell therapy market. Rare disorders such as thalassemia, phenylketonuria, cystic fibrosis, and others affect millions of individuals each year. According to World Health Organization (WHO), chronic diseases cause 41 million mortalities every year, equivalent to 71% of all mortalities globally. Traditional therapies and pharmaceuticals have proven ineffective in addressing various ailments, thereby, people are increasingly turning to advanced stem cell therapies, which will boost industry numbers.
Furthermore, developments in stem cell therapies that improve the pace of recovery in cancer patients are projected to increase their demand. Significant government funding and initiatives for regenerative medicine research and development activities in the developed region will further stimulate market growth. For instance, the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) announced the Stem Cell Therapies Mission as part of the 2019-20 budget. Nearly US$ 150 million was allocated by the Australian government to research and development of safe and effective medicines for all afflicted people.
Allogeneic stem cell therapy leads the global market
Allogeneic stem cell therapy is dominating the global stem cell therapy market in 2021 and is expected to continue to dominate the market over the forecast period. Allogeneic cells are widely used for the treatment of cancer due to their graft-versus-cancer effect. This effect enables immune system cells to cancer cells by using stem cells from the donor. The activated immune system response by the donor is relatively stronger than the recipient’s immune system.
Moreover, allogeneic stem cells are commonly used to treat various cancer types including lymphomas, leukemias, and myelomas. On the other hand, the autologous stem cell therapy segment is expected to grow at the highest growth rate during the forecast period as it is associated with fewer complications. Also, some of the other factors augmenting the segmental growth of the market include affordability, low risks, and a high survival rate of patients.
Increasing R&D activities and growing focus on regenerative medicines to aid market growth in North America
The North America stem cell therapy market is expected to grow significantly owing to the increased research and development initiatives by industry participants in the area. The Canadian government and JDRF Canada announced a new research funding of US$ 6 million in November 2020 to speed up stem cell-based therapeutics for type 1 diabetes. The favorable government actions and technological breakthroughs in regenerative medicine will further bolster regional market growth.
The stem cell therapy market is expected to develop significantly in Europe owing to an increase in the number of product approvals by regulatory bodies and the significant number of clinical trials in the region. The increasing focus of industry players and government entities on the development of stem cell therapies will further enhance the market growth. For instance, in January 2019, the Center for Beta Cell Therapy in Diabetes and ViaCyte Inc. announced a partnership for their first European clinical trial employing human stem cell-derived implants in T1D patients.
The stem cell therapy market in the Asia Pacific is expected to grow significantly, owing to an increase in the number of research programs and the establishment of new stem cell banks in the region. Further, the growing prevalence of chronic diseases is further augmenting the demand for advanced therapeutics such as stem cell therapies in the region. Additionally, an increase in the number of clinical studies for regenerative medicines, rising demand for organ transplantation, and the commercialization of regenerative medicine are all expected to improve Latin America’s stem cell industry. In the Middle East and Africa, rising healthcare infrastructure upgrades and increased research and development activities by prominent players would raise market demand.
