Biopreservation Market Research Information: By Product (Media, Equipment), Biospecimen (Human Tissue Sample, Stem Cell), Application (Regenerative Medicine (Gene Therapy, Cell Therapy), Biobanking (Human Egg), Drug Discovery)–Global Forecast Till 2027

Biopreservation Market Scenario

The Biopreservation market is expected to grow during the forecast period (2018–2023) at a CAGR 11.2%. Biopreservation is a use of natural flora and its antibacterial products to preserve biological material. Biopreservation is playing an important role in healthcare and food industry to preserve the biological material or food product for a long time. The increasing expenditure on healthcare, growing demand for stem cell preservation and awareness about its use with regards to treatment of diseases are expected to drive the growth of the market. Moreover, increasing awareness about personalized medicines and its applications are contributing to the growth of the biopreservation market. According to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), The department has approved 16 personalized medicines in the year 2017, which accounts for 20% of total drug approvals.

The rising high price of biopreservation instruments and its maintenance, stability issues related to the specimen and lack of skilled personnel for handling the biopreservation process may hamper the growth of the market during the assessment period.

Regional Market Summary

Global Biopreservation Market Share, by Region, 2017 (%)

Source: MRFR Analysis

The Americas are likely to dominate the global biopreservation market owing to the adoption of advanced technology, increasing spending on healthcare R&D, the presence of a well-established healthcare system, and increasing in-house sample storage in hospitals and research institutes. Moreover, presence and recent merger and acquisition activities by market players in the region are contributing to the growth of the market.  For instance, in 2017, Cesca Therapeutics Inc. has acquired Sacramento’s SynGen Inc. for USD 1 million with this acquisition company has managed to add cell separation and cord blood processing products in their portfolio.

The European market is expected to be the second-largest biopreservation market. The market growth in this region can be attributed to the increasing number of births and with-it continuous increase in demand for umbilical cord preservation. According to the European Commission, in the year 2016 more than 5.1 million babies were born in Europe.  Moreover, a growing number of sperm and egg banks is contributing to the growth of the market in this region.

Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing biopreservation market during the forecast period owing to the increasing population in the region, increasing awareness about stem cell preservation and continuous development in the healthcare sector due to government funding.

The market in the Middle East & Africa is expected to account for the smallest share of the global biopreservation market due to an underdeveloped healthcare sector, lack of technical knowledge, and poor medical facilities.
