The cell therapy human raw materials market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The cell therapy human raw materials market has seen exponential growth in recent years. It will increase from $2.82 billion in 2024 to $3.39 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.4%.
The growth drivers include the rise in chronic diseases, a growing elderly population, high demand for regenerative medicines, government funding, and an increase in healthcare spending.
The cell therapy human raw materials market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The cell therapy human raw materials market is projected to reach $7.05 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 20.1%.
Growth is fueled by expanding therapeutic applications, patient awareness, favorable regulatory frameworks, a growing biopharmaceutical sector, and improved manufacturing processes. Trends include allogeneic therapy adoption, AI integration, off-the-shelf cell therapies, 3D bioprinting, and hybrid cell therapy development.
The increasing adoption of regenerative medicine is expected to boost the cell therapy human raw materials market. This field, which aims to repair, replace, or regenerate damaged tissues and organs, benefits from technological advancements, better understanding of cellular processes, a surge in demand for personalized medicine, and its potential to meet unmet medical needs. Cell therapy and human raw materials are key in enabling cell-based treatments, ensuring standardized and reliable therapies for various conditions. For example, a report by the Alliance for Regenerative Medicine in August 2023 indicated that the number of global cell, gene, and tissue-engineering therapeutic developers grew by 101% from 1369 in Q1 2022 to 2760 in Q1 2023. Thus, the rise in regenerative medicine adoption is driving this market.
