South America Tissue Engineering Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis - by Material Type and Application

The tissue engineering market in South America is expected to grow from US$464.24 million in 2022 to US$913.73 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 10.2% from 2022 to 2028.

Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM) have been proposed and developed for more than 30 years. Although several successful attempts at tissue regeneration have been made, TERM is still in its infancy. There are many unanswered fundamental questions regarding the selection of cell sources, development of tissue-specific materials, specialized bioreactors, and the construction of complex organs. After all, most therapies or treatments aim to enhance tissue regeneration, and stem cell engineering has opened a new avenue in regenerative medicine. Tissue engineering can be applied to construct various tissues, including blood vessels, nerve tissues, skin, and bones. Several techniques involving new materials, new structures, and novel surface modifications of biomaterials are developed for stem cell engineering. Also, a deep understanding of the interactions between cells and biomaterials is needed. Advances in tissue engineering research and its methodology led to the formation of scaffolds for bioprinters and then to the decellularized organs. More research into processes is overcoming the shortcomings of previous methods. Improving knowledge in the biology of regeneration, development in microelectronics, and 3D printing technology helps overcome the hurdles. In additing, cell therapy is one of the fastest-growing segments of the regenerative medicine domain. Novartis’s Kymriah was the first cell therapy solution offered for the treatment of B-cell acute leukemia, which opened opportunities for the emerging treatment therapy. Moreover, RepliCel, a regenerative medicine provider, has a wide range of regenerative medicine products in pipeline, with three products - RCH-01, RCS-01, and RCT-01 - in the development phase. Further, Sernova is engaged in the development of regenerative medicine technologies and has a huge pipeline of the products for various conditions, including diabetes, Hemophilia A, and hyperthyroidism. Therefore, rapid advancements in the development of regenerative medicines to provide effective solutions for chronic conditions are driving the growth of the market.

With new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the South America tissue engineering market at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.
