The growth of the stem cell therapy market is significantly influenced by the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases. Factors such as extended working hours, limited physical activity, and unhealthy dietary habits contribute to the rising incidence of chronic diseases, creating a demand for stem cell therapy. According to a United Nations article, it is projected that by 2030, chronic diseases will account for 70% of global deaths. The global burden of chronic diseases is expected to reach approximately 60%, further fueling the growth of the stem cell therapy market.

The expanding field of personalized medicine is poised to drive the future growth of the stem cell therapy market. Personalized medicine, also known as precision medicine, involves tailoring medical treatment plans to account for individual variations in genes, environment, and lifestyle. This approach enhances the effectiveness of stem cell treatments by customizing them based on the unique genetic and medical profiles of individual patients. This not only improves treatment outcomes but also reduces adverse effects, prioritizing patient well-being. The patient-centric nature of personalized medicine, coupled with precise patient selection, more effective clinical trials, and market expansion, contributes to the increasing appeal of stem cell therapies and is expected to propel market growth. For instance, in 2022, the Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) approved 37 new molecular entities (NMEs), with approximately 34% (12 of them) classified as personalized medicines by the Personalized Medicine Coalition (PMC). Consequently, the growing prominence of personalized medicine is a key driver for the expansion of the stem cell therapy market.

Companies within the stem cell therapy market are increasingly engaging in strategic partnerships, representing mutually beneficial agreements between entities that do not directly compete. A notable example is the partnership formed in May 2022 between SQZ Biotechnologies, a US-based biotechnology company, and STEMCELL Technologies Inc., a Canada-based biotechnology company. This collaboration aims to develop and commercialize a research-use-only (RUO) microfluidic intracellular delivery system based on SQZ's Cell Squeeze technology. The partnership is geared towards providing the life sciences community with enhanced cell engineering capabilities for preclinical research. SQZ Biotechnologies and STEMCELL Technologies Inc. are expected to present significant findings demonstrating the potential of the RUO system in efficiently delivering cargoes to primary immune cell types, showcasing advancements in cell engineering with mRNA and CRISPR/Cas9 in hematopoietic stem cells.

Major players in the stem cell therapy market are directing their focus towards the development of innovative technologies, such as Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSC), to enhance the efficiency of stem cell therapies. iPSCs are derived from blood or skin cells that are reProgramd to an embryonic-such as pluripotent state, offering an unlimited source of various human cells crucial for stem cell therapeutic purposes. An example of this technology is the genome engineering platform for iPSCs launched by Synthego Corporation, a US-based genome engineering company, in October 2022. This platform provides an unprecedented level of editing efficiency for iPSCs on an industrial scale, facilitating precise modifications and creating disease models, including neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease. The platform enables the creation of high-quality, physiologically relevant biological models for translational medicine, promising advancements in research and therapeutic development.

In July 2022, Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc., a US-based biotechnology company, made a significant acquisition by purchasing ViaCyte Pharma Inc. for $320 million. This acquisition strengthened Vertex Pharmaceuticals' commitment to developing transformative cell replacement therapies for type 1 diabetes. ViaCyte Pharma Inc., a US-based biotechnology company, focuses on innovative stem cell-derived cell replacement therapies, particularly for type 1 diabetes (T1D). The acquisition provided Vertex Pharmaceuticals with additional tools, technologies, stem cell lines, and manufacturing facilities, accelerating their ongoing programs in this field.

Stem cell therapy is a branch of regenerative medicine that harnesses the power of stem cells or their derivatives to prompt the body's natural repair processes in damaged, malfunctioning, or injured tissues. It represents a significant advancement beyond organ transplantation, offering a viable alternative to scarce donor organs.

There are two primary types of stem cell therapy allogeneic stem cell therapy and autologous stem cell therapy. In allogeneic stem cell transplantation, stem cells are sourced from a healthy donor and transferred to the patient's body following intensive chemotherapy or radiation. The cells can be derived from various sources, including adult stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, and embryonic stem cells, and are employed in treating conditions such as musculoskeletal disorders, wounds and injuries, cancer, autoimmune disorders, among others. These therapies find application in hospitals and clinics.
