The global induced pluripotent stem cells production market size was USD 1.47 Billion in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 2.76 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 9.3% during 2023–2031. The market growth is further attributed to the high demand for drug discovery and toxicity testing.
Rising demand for drug discovery and toxicity testing is anticipated to drive the induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) production market. iPSCs are derived from adult cells and are reprogrammed to an embryonic-like state, which allows them to differentiate into any cell type in the body. iPSCs are used to create disease models that help researchers understand the molecular basis of diseases and develop drugs. They are also used to identify novel drug targets and to screen compounds for toxicity.
In July 2022, Curi Bio launched the Mantarray platform for human-relevant 3D heart and skeletal engineered muscle tissue (EMT) contractility analysis. It allows for the discovery of therapeutics by providing parallel analysis of 3D EMTs with adult human-like functional profiles of healthy and disease models.
The market report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic fueled the induced pluripotent stent cells (iPSCs) production market, due to the increasing demand for iPSCs-based research & development. The continuous strive by scientists to develop novel treatments and therapies to manage the SARS CoV-2 infection drives the demand for iPSCs as research tools. iPSC creates organ models that are physiologically identical to real organs and are utilized to study the pathophysiology of viral infection in humans.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are expected to boost the induced pluripotent stent cells production market during the forecast period. AI is used to improve the quality and safety of induced pluripotent stem cell products. The ability to validate cells and functions at different stages of the iPSC manufacturing process is crucial for producing therapeutic cells and organs on demand.
AI-based methods are proving helpful for these complex tasks and revolutionize the way iPSCs are managed to create surrogate cells and organs. The use of iPSC holds great potential for the development of personalized therapies without the ethical issues associated with embryonic stem cell treatment and the immunological risk of rejection.
Increasing therapeutic applications is expected to fuel the induced pluripotent stem cells production market in the coming years. iPSCs are used in various applications, including disease modeling, drug discovery, and regenerative medicine. iPSCs are a type of immature cell that is generated from adult cells and have the ability to differentiate into any type of cell in the body.
In terms of therapeutic applications, iPSCs are used to treat a variety of diseases, including Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injury, and heart disease. iPSCs are used to generate patient-specific cells for transportation, which helps avoid immune rejection. They are also used to model diseases and test new drugs.
High cost of iPSC production is expected to hinder the market. iPSC production costs are influenced by a combination of technological challenges, quality requirements, and the need for skilled personnel. iPSCs require specialized culture methods for their stable mass production. These methods are still in the early development stages, leading to challenges in scaling up production.
Technological advancements in reprogramming techniques is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the market players. Reprogramming procedures include induced pluripotent stem cells, somatic cell nuclear transfer, and direct reprogramming of specific cell lineages, which have the capability to modify cell plasticity in translational drugs for cancer treatment.
The cells are then reprogrammed into iPSCs by nonviral or viral-mediated gene allocation before the replacement of the disease-causing genes with healthy genes. Genetically modified iPSCs are enriched and then differentiated into the affected cell subtype. The cells are then reinfused into the patient.
In February 2022, EdiGene, Inc. collaborated with Neukio Biotherapeutics to develop next-generation immune cell therapies. This collaboration leverages EdiGene’s expertise in high throughput genome editing screening and Neukio’s strength in the development and manufacture of iPSC and natural killer cells.

Based on product, the induced pluripotent stem cells production market is divided into automated platforms, instruments/devices, consumables & kits, and services.
The consumables & kits segment is further divided into kits, media, and others. The consumables & kits segment is projected to expand at a significant pace during the projection period, owing to the increasing research & development activities in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Several key players enable end-users to use iPSC kits such as generation kits, reprogramming kits, and differentiation kits, which is expected to boost the segment.
Advancements in iPSC technology have increased the development of specific consumables & kits, which made it easy for researchers to work with iPSCs. This, in turn, is likely to boost the consumables & kits segment in the market.
