Regenerative Medicine Market Growth Drivers
Increasing Approvals of Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative medicine harnesses the body’s inherent healing capabilities to restore, repair, or cultivate damaged or diseased tissues. The regenerative medicine field has witnessed a surge in interest in recent years, driven by its promising applications in oncology, cardiovascular diseases, neurological disease, and other medical domains. With the increasing application areas of regenerative medicine, regulatory bodies are approving the use of regenerative medicine for different diseases. Some recent instances of such approvals are as follows:
-
In December 2023, Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (U.S.) received approval from the U.S. FDA for CASGEVY, a cell-based gene therapy designed for the treatment of sickle cell disease (SCD) in patients aged 12 years and older.
- In April 2023, Gamida Cell Ltd. (U.S.) received the U.S. FDA for Omisirge (omidubicel-onlv), an allogeneic cell therapy indicated for use in patients aged 12 years and older with hematologic malignancies planned for umbilical cord blood transplantation following myeloablative conditioning. The therapy aims to reduce the time to neutrophil recovery and the incidence of infection.
Increasing Incidence of Neurodegenerative Disorders
Regenerative medicine is proving to be an effective therapy for various medical conditions, including cardiovascular diseases, ophthalmic diseases, oncology, neurological diseases, immunology & inflammation, musculoskeletal diseases, dermatological diseases, and others. The growing incidence of these target diseases is a key driver for market growth.
Neurodegenerative disorders, characterized by neuron loss, represent a significant portion of these conditions. Major neurodegenerative disorders include Alzheimer's disease and other memory disorders, Parkinson's disease, Ataxia, and Huntington's disease.
The rising prevalence of Alzheimer’s Disease, in particular, is expected to fuel the demand for regenerative medicine. According to the Alzheimer's Association (U.S.), a non-profit organization dedicated to Alzheimer’s disease care, research, and support, the prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease in the population aged 65 and older is projected to increase to 6.9 million in 2024, compared to 6.2 million in 2021.
Stem cell therapy has emerged as a promising treatment for Alzheimer's disease. It has the potential to reduce the deposition of amyloid β-protein (Aβ), thereby alleviating symptoms of memory loss.
Regenerative Medicine Market Trends
Utilization of 3D Bioprinting in Regenerative Medicine
3D bioprinting is a cutting-edge technique in regenerative medicine, utilizing biomaterials and cells, as opposed to traditional polymers and metals, to fabricate functional 3D tissues. This technology has gained prominence in recent years for its ability to create highly specialized tissue models, complementing conventional tissue engineering methods.
In tissue engineering, 3D bioprinting plays a crucial role in assembling living cells, biochemicals, or biomaterials into functional tissue-like structures. 3D bioprinting enables the integration of engineered tissue with natural tissue, facilitating the restoration of organ and tissue function.
3D bioprinting is gradually replacing traditional technologies due to its advantages. Unlike conventional methods, 3D bioprinting ensures accurate scaffold creation and proper interaction of cell lines. Moreover, it enables the fabrication of tissue components from patients' stem cells, thereby reducing the risk of rejection and graft-versus-host reactions, leading to increased adoption of this innovative approach.
Integration of AI Tools in the Development of Regenerative Medicine
The conventional methods employed in cell-based therapies and regenerative medicine face numerous challenges, including the management of vast datasets, increasing data complexity, and susceptibility to manual errors. As a result, there is a growing inclination towards leveraging AI for data analysis to discern patterns within data and formulate therapies.
In tissue engineering, AI algorithms play a pivotal role in identifying associations and patterns in cellular interactions and behavior, enabling predictions regarding cell behavior in diverse environments. This information is then utilized to refine and devise tissue engineering strategies aimed at developing functional tissues and organs.
Moreover, AI is undergoing testing for its applicability in biomanufacturing for regenerative medicine. For instance, in April 2024, researchers at Northeastern University (U.S.) introduced a framework proposing the integration of AI in the large-scale manufacturing of pluripotent stem cells. These manufactured stem cells hold potential applications in treating diseases such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s, combating cancer, repairing spinal cord injuries, or mitigating the effects of aging.
Regenerative Medicine Market Opportunity
Rising Demand for Organ Transplants
The global demand for organ transplantation is steadily rising due to various factors, including the prevalence of chronic diseases, genetic disorders, accidental injuries, and physical trauma to organs. According to the U.S. Health Resources & Services Administration, as of March 2024, there were 106,441 patients in the U.S. awaiting organ donation.
Regenerative medicine techniques, such as stem cell therapy and tissue engineering, play a crucial role in repairing or regenerating damaged organs, thereby reducing reliance on donor organs and enhancing transplant outcomes. While the development of organs in vitro is still in its nascent stage, regenerative medicine presents an opportunity for organ development using a patient's own cells, thereby reducing the likelihood of rejection and the need for donor organs.
Regenerative Medicine Market Analysis: Key Findings
By Product: In 2024, the Cell Therapies Segment to Dominate the Regenerative Medicine Market
Based on product, the regenerative medicine market is segmented into gene therapy, cell therapy, and tissue engineering. In 2024, the cell therapy segment is expected to account for the largest share of 50.6% of the regenerative medicine market. This segment’s large market share can be attributed to the extensive utilization of cell therapies in treating various conditions such as cancer, autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular ailments, and other chronic illnesses.
