Global Stem Cell Therapy Market 2014-2020: Treatment Mode, Therapeutic Applications, Regulatory Landscape & Pipeline Analysis
M2 - Fri Jul 11, 2:30AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/vfm5cm/stem_cell_therapy) has announced the addition of the "Global Stem Cell Therapy Market 2014-2020: Treatment Mode, Therapeutic Applications, Regulatory Landscape & Pipeline Analysis" report to their offering. The global stem cell therapy market is estimated to grow at a lower CAGR in developed countries as compared to emerging countries such as China, India, and Korea in the forecast period (2015-2020). Factors such as increasing funding from various governments and private organizations focus on stem cell research by the growing industry, and rising global awareness about stem cell therapies through various organizations are propelling the growth of the stem cell therapy market. However, lack of required infrastructures, ethical issues related to embryonic stem cell, and the difficulties related with the preservation of stem cells are restraining the growth of this market. In this report, the global stem cell therapy market has been segmented on the basis of mode of therapy (allogeneic and autologous stem cell therapy) and therapeutic applications (eye diseases, metabolic diseases, GIT diseases, musculoskeletal disorders, immune system diseases, CNS diseases, CVS diseases, wounds and injuries, and others). The allogeneic stem cell therapy market is expected to hold the largest share of the global stem cell therapy market by 2015. This large share can be attributed to the launch of the first-in-class stem cell therapy called prochymal (Osiris Therapeutics, Inc., U.S.), for the treatment of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in children. This allogeneic therapy was approved in New Zealand and Canada, in May 2012. Additionally, allogeneic stem cell therapy market is expected to grow at a higher CAGR as compared to the autologous stem cell therapy. Factors such as wider therapeutic applications, easier production scale up, and larger number of ongoing clinical trials of allogeneic stem cell therapies compared to autologous stem cell therapies are stimulating its market growth. Major players such as Mesoblast Ltd. (Australia), Aastrom Biosciences, Inc. (U.S.), Celgene Corporation (U.S.), and StemCells, Inc. (U.S.) are adopting several growth strategies such as new product approvals, partnerships/agreements/collaborations, joint ventures, mergers, and acquisitions in order to keep pace with the evolving industry trends. Key Topics Covered: 1 Introduction 2 Executive Summary 3 Market Dynamics 4 Pipeline Analysis 5 Investor Network 6 Global Stem Cell Therapy Market, By Mode Of Therapy 7 Global Stem Cell Therapy Market, By Therapeutic Applications 8 Regulatory Landscape 9 Global Stem Cell Therapy Market, By Geography 10 Competitive Landscape 11 Company Profiles - Aastrom Biosciences Inc. - Advanced Cell Technologies, Inc. - Athersys Inc. - Celgene Corporation - Cellular Dynamics International - Cytori Therapeutics, Inc. - Fibrocell Science, Inc. - Gamida Cell Ltd. - Mesoblast Ltd. - Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. - StemCells Inc.

Global Type 1 Diabetes Market 2014-2018 with Astrazeneca, Eli Lilly and Co, Novo Nordisk A/S & Sanofi-Aventis US Dominating
M2 - Mon Jun 23, 4:28AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5k8cfq/global_type_1) has announced the addition of the "Global Type 1 Diabetes Market 2014-2018 with Astrazeneca, Eli Lilly and Co, Novo Nordisk A/S & Sanofi-Aventis US Dominating" report to their offering. The Global Type 1 Diabetes Market will grow at a CAGR of 6.9% over the period 2013-2018. One of the main drivers in this market is the increase in the global type 1 diabetic population. The global type 1 diabetes population is increasing every year with an annual increase of 3 percent in children below 14 years of age. An increase in the type 1 diabetic population might increase the number of people opting for treatment. This will drive the sale and revenue of these drugs. The key vendors in the Global Type 1 Diabetes market are increasing their penetration in the emerging markets. Recent years have witnessed an increase in investment in manufacturing sites based in these countries with the intention to enhance the production of drugs such as insulin for local or global markets. For instance, the Frankfurt site is a key manufacturer for Sanofi diabetes products. However, Sanofi has invested in Russia for its Orel-based site to enable the production of insulin prefilled devices. For a similar category of products, Sanofi has also invested in a manufacturing site in Beijing to penetrate the market. Recently, Sanofi transferred the manufacturing technologies for Insuman insulin to Shantha Biotech in India (part of the Sanofi group). In 2009, Novo Nordisk completely transferred the production of NovoPen from Denmark to Tianjin. Also, in 2008, Novo Nordisk started the construction of an advanced insulin filling plant in Tianjin, which is expected to cater to the demand of the Chinese market for Penfill, the insulin based solution for injection in cartridges. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges is the side effects of current therapies for type 1 diabetes. A lack of effective treatment that can manage glucose levels without causing adverse effects considerably decreases effective disease management. Key Vendors - Astrazeneca plc - Eli Lilly and Co. - Novo Nordisk A/S - Sanofi-Aventis US LLC Other Prominent Vendors - Biodel Inc. - Diamyd Medical AB - DiaVacs Inc. - Generex Biotechnology Corp. - Lexicon Pharmaceuticals Inc. - Macrogenics Inc. - MannKind Corp. - Osiris Therapeutics Inc. - Tolerion Inc. - XOMA Corp.
