Market Segment insights
The adult stem cell segment is projected to constitute a large market share
Based on product type, the stem cell market is segregated into adult stem cell, human embryonic cell, pluripotent stem cell, and other product types. The adult stem cell segment is expected to account for a key share of the market during the forecast period owing to the presence of minimal controversial issues concerning immune-rejection, ethics, and tumorigenesis. Furthermore, the application of ASCs in regenerative medicines is likely to boost the market; however, pluripotent stem cell segment is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period owing to increasing investment for developing regenerative medicines using iPSC, ensured reproducibility and maintenance which is capable of differentiation into all the cell types and high proliferative ability.
The oncology disorders segment is expected to register a substantial CAGR
Based on applications, the stem cell market is divided into neurological disorders, orthopedic treatments, oncology disorders, injuries and wounds, cardiovascular disorders, and other applications. The oncology disorders segment accounts for a key share of the market and is estimated to propel even further over the forecast period owing to increasing burden of cancer. According to the World Cancer Research Fund, in 2018, there were an estimated 18 million cancer cases around the globe which is anticipated to boost the segment growth.

The allogeneic stem cell therapy segment is anticipated to dominate the market
Based on treatment type, the stem cell market is divided into allogeneic stem cell therapy, auto logic stem cell therapy, and syngeneic stem cell therapy. The allogeneic stem cell therapy segment accounts for a key share of the market and is anticipated to grow at a rapid pace over the forecast period owing to their graft vs-cancer effect for the treatment of cancer, it helps stem cells from the donor which can use their immune system cell for killing cancer cells. Moreover, these are commonly used for treating different types of cancers such as lymphomas, leukemias, and myelomas.
North America is expected to dominate the market
In terms of geography, the market is broadly classified into Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. The market in North America is anticipated to expand at a robust CAGR during the forecast period. Several factors such as advanced healthcare infrastructure, the presence of key players engaged in developing stem cell therapies, supportive reforms from healthcare organizations, extensive R&D, and strong reimbursement policies in this region is expected to drive the market growth in near future.
