The regenerative medicine for cartilage market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.24 billion in 2023 to $4.48 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The expansion observed during the historical period in the regenerative medicine market can be attributed to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, growth in emerging markets, the implementation of the 21st Century Cures Act, rapid growth in the aging population, and improvements in healthcare awareness and expenditure.

The regenerative medicine for cartilage market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.64 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period in the regenerative medicine market can be attributed to the increasing demand for organ transplantations, a rise in healthcare expenditure, technological advancements in regenerative medicines, increased investments in regenerative medicine research, and changes in lifestyles. Major trends expected during the forecast period include the growing utilization of mesenchymal stem cell technology, heightened research and development on the use of novel gene therapy techniques, advancements in technology transfer and clinical translation, a rise in strategic collaborations, partnerships, and agreements, the emergence and growth of new companies, the role of injectable hydrogel in cartilage repair as a regenerative medicine, and global research initiatives and funding.

The escalating prevalence of osteoarthritis worldwide is set to be a key driver for the regenerative medicine for cartilage market. Osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disorder primarily affecting the articular cartilage, is anticipated to impact at least 130 million individuals globally by 2050, as projected by the Arthritis Foundation. Autologous chondrocyte implantation and scaffold implants are among the commonly employed treatments for osteoarthritis. Consequently, the growing incidence of osteoarthritis is expected to fuel the demand for regenerative medicine for cartilage.

The surge in chronic diseases is poised to propel the growth of the regenerative medicine for cartilage market. Chronic diseases, enduring over an extended period and often throughout a person's lifetime, play a pivotal role in the need for medical specialty solutions, including regenerative medicine for cartilage. The prevalence of chronic diseases, particularly those impacting the musculoskeletal system, bodes well for the field of regenerative medicine. According to the World Health Organization, 74% of the 41 million annual deaths globally are caused by non-communicable diseases (NCDs) or chronic diseases. Notably, 17.9 million deaths result from cardiovascular diseases, 9.3 million from cancer, 4.1 million from chronic respiratory diseases, and 2.0 million from diabetes. Consequently, the increasing incidence of chronic diseases is driving the growth of the regenerative medicine for cartilage market.

Emerging trends in regenerative medicine for cartilage include tissue engineering and stem cell therapy. The advancement of tissue engineering technology offers promising prospects for cartilage regeneration. Stem cell therapy, with its advantages over traditional orthopedic treatments, is gaining prominence for reducing knee pain and enhancing knee cartilage regeneration and repair. Technologies such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, incorporating growth factors, are utilized to effectively promote tissue regeneration. Market players are actively introducing new technologies to stay competitive in the evolving landscape of regenerative medicine for cartilage.

Collaborations between pharmaceutical companies and government entities are on the rise, fostering partnerships aimed at providing funding and implementing incentive programs for the research and development (R&D) of regenerative medicine for cartilage. These collaborations offer financial and technical support across various clinical development phases. For instance, in 2021, the Government of Canada, along with several provincial governments, announced multiple investment initiatives to establish flexible biomanufacturing capacity and new biotech innovation hubs. Additionally, a $45 million investment was earmarked from 2022–2023 to support stem cell and regenerative medicine research through the Stem Cell Network.

In December 2021, Cesca Therapeutics Inc., a U.S.-based company specializing in automated cellular processing and autologous cell therapies for regenerative medicine, acquired the remaining 20% equity share of ThermoGenesis Corp. for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move allows Cesca to concentrate on its CAR-TX press cellular processing platform, enhancing efficiency in cellular manufacturing. ThermoGenesis, a healthcare company, focuses on developing automated technologies for cell-based therapeutics and bioprocessing.
