The Autologous Stem Cell and Non-Stem Cell Based Therapies Market involves the use of stem cells and non-stem cell-based medical procedures for treating a variety of diseases. Autologous stem cell therapy involves extracting stem cells from a patient's own bone marrow or blood, multiplying them in the laboratory, and infusing them back into the patient. Non-stem cell based therapies include platelet-rich plasma therapy and fat grafting which are increasingly used in orthopedics, dermatology, cardiology and other clinical areas. The global market for autologous stem cell and non-stem cell-based therapies is driven by the growing prevalence of chronic diseases like cardiovascular diseases and diabetes due to a rising geriatric population worldwide.

The Global Autologous Stem Cell and Non-Stem Cell Based Therapies Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 98.8 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.3% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030.

Key players operating in the Autologous Stem Cell and Non-Stem Cell Based Therapies are Caladrius Biosciences, Vericel Corporation, Fibrocell Science, Inc., Genzyme Corporation, BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics, Regeneus Ltd., and Dendreon Corporation. These players are focusing on developing advanced therapeutics and improving their manufacturing and processing capabilities. For instance, BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics is developing NurOwn, an autologous mesenchymal stem cell therapy for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and multiple sclerosis.

The growing demand for autologous stem cell and non-stem cell therapies is attributed to the rising preference for minimally invasive procedures coupled with the ability of these therapies to heal damaged tissues without major surgical interventions. Additionally, the increasing successful commercialization of fat grafting procedures for breast augmentation and growing popularity of PRP injections for cosmetic procedures are favoring market growth.

Furthermore, increased strategic collaborations between industry players and research organizations are helping expand the global footprint of autologous stem cell and non-stem cell based therapies. For example, Fibrocell Science partnered with Castle Creek Pharmaceuticals to commercialize FCX-007, an autologous fibroblast cell therapy candidate for the treatment of moderate to severe rhinoconjunctivitis.

The rising geriatric population globally is the major market driver for autologous stem cell and non-stem cell based therapies. According to the UN’s World Population Prospects 2019, the share of global population aged 65 years or above is expected to rise from 9% to 16% between 2019 and 2050. This growing aging demographic is expected to increase the incidence of chronic health conditions like cancer, orthopedic disorders, and cardiovascular diseases, thereby driving demand for advanced treatment options like stem cell and non-stem cell therapies over the forecast period.

The geopolitical instability is impacting the growth of autologous stem cell and non-stem cell based therapies market. The ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and tensions between major powers have disrupted supply chains and impacted logistic operations globally. This has negatively affected the easy availability of stem cell therapy products and associated materials in many countries. The pricing and supply of critical raw materials like growth factors, differentiation factors and cytokines have been unpredictable during this period. Moreover, sanctions and trade restrictions imposed by countries have limited the international cooperation and collaborations between research organisations and bio-pharmaceutical companies located in different regions. This has stunted innovation and development of new treatment approaches. Additionally, economic uncertainties and contraction of healthcare budgets in many nations due to changing global economic conditions can potentially lower the investments in this sector in the coming years. The market players need to diversify their supply networks, look for alternative vendors and actively scout for strategic partnerships in different geographic territories to mitigate political and economic risks on a continuous basis.

Europe accounts for the largest share of autologous stem cell and non-stem cell based therapies market in terms of value. This is mainly because of the significant research focus and advances in cell therapies in countries like Germany, UK and France. The region also has universal healthcare systems that provide insurance coverage for costly stem cell transplant procedures. North America follows Europe with substantial market presence led by the US. However, Asia Pacific region is emerging as the fastest growing market globally. This is attributed to rising healthcare expenditure, growing medical tourism and increasing awareness about regenerative medicines in highly populous countries like China and India providing immense future opportunities.
