Government Support for Research Activities and Clinical Trials Drives North America Medical Refrigerators Market

There has been a vast increase in clinical trials in the last 10 years. In August 2019, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced 12 new clinical trial research grants for principal investigators from academia and industrial institutes in the country. It further plans to grant more than US$ 15 million over the next 4 years to support the development of medical products for patients with rare diseases. The FDA awarded these grants through the Orphan Products Clinical Trials Grants Program, funded by Congress to encourage the clinical development of drugs, biologics, medical devices, and medical food for the treatment of rare diseases. The grants are further intended to substantially contribute to the marketing approval of rare disease treatment products or to provide essential data needed to develop such products. For more than 35 years, the FDA has been providing much-needed financial support for clinical trials of potentially life-changing treatments for patients with rare diseases. To date, the Orphan Products Clinical Trials Grants Program has supported research that led to the marketing approval of more than 60 treatments for rare diseases. Further, vaccine development to fight the COVID-19 pandemic is picking up pace in the US, with a large number of companies starting clinical trials and forming collaborations to ensure rapid growth and sufficient production capacity. The US government provided US$ 483 million in funds for the COVID-19 vaccine trials of Moderna Inc. Such government funding for supporting research activities and clinical trials would boost the adoption of ULT freezers for the preservation of samples and substances derived from human cells, which are susceptible to temperature change and are most often stored at temperatures ranging from -70°C to -90°C.

North America Medical Refrigerators Market Overview

The North America medical refrigerators market is segmented into the US, Canada, and Mexico. The increasing demand for biobanks brings transformative potential to the healthcare and economic systems of the US.
