Global and Chinese Stem Cell Industry Report, 2014-2017
M2 - Tue Sep 16, 6:34AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/hhmz42/global_and) has announced the addition of the "Global and Chinese Stem Cell Industry Report, 2014-2017" report to their offering. Currently, cord blood bank is the fastest-growing and relatively mature market amid stem cell upstream sectors and even the whole industry chain. In 2005, there were 23 cord blood banks worldwide and in 2013 the figure exceeded 480. Global cord blood stem cell (CBSC) storage companies can be roughly divided into two categories: the ones running in a globalized business model, such as Cryo-Cell International and Esperite (formerly known as Cryo-Save Group), and the others giving priority to regional operation e.g. Zhongyuan Union Stem Cell Bioengineering (VCANBIO), Golden Meditech and LifeCell International. However, the companies mainly engaged in cord blood bank business are currently small in scale, only a few with more than 500,000 clients. The stem cell technology and product research-oriented midstream sector is in its infancy, mostly concentrated in few countries like Europe, America and South Korea. At present, most companies in the industry chain are basically in the red for years running due to huge R&D costs. Nevertheless, attracted by the tremendous market potential in the area of stem cell therapy and enjoying the great encouragement from government policies (e.g. capital subsidy) and the capital support of significant cooperative partners, very few companies have dropped out. Up to now, altogether 9 sorts of stem cell products have been approved worldwide, 3 of which are in the category of stem cell drugs developed by S. Korean companies, such as MEDIPOST's adult stem cell drug CARTISTEM for osteoarthritis treatment and the stem cell product Prochymal (MEDIPOST obtained the product via acquiring the Therapeutics business of Osiris Therapeutics) direct at treating children suffering acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). In the meantime, traditional pharmaceutical giants like Novartis are setting about quickly accessing the field through mergers and acquisitions. On Aug. 19, 2014, Novartis reached an acquisition agreement with Gamida Cell (a corporate dedicated to stem cell technology R&D and its application in stem cell transplantation for leukemia patients), which specified that Novartis spend USD35 million in acquiring 15% equity in the latter and win the option to take over the remaining equity in two years with USD165 million; in Sep. 2013, Novartis also entered a cooperation with Regenerex to jointly develop the hematopoietic stem cell platform FCRx of the latter. Key Topics Covered: 1. Overview of Stem Cell Industry 2. Global Stem Cell Industry Chain 3. China Stem Cell Industry Chain 4. Upstream Enterprises 5. Midstream and Downstream Enterprises Companies Mentioned - Advanced Cell Technology - Athersys - Beike Biotechnology - Celgene - Cryo-Cell International - Cryosite - Cyagen Biosciences - Cytori Therapeutics - Esperite - Golden Meditech - LifeCell International - MEDIPOST - Mesoblast - NeoStem - Opexa Therapeutics - Orthofix International - Osiris Therapeutics - Pluristem Therapeutics - Reneuron - StemCells - Tigenix - Vitro Biopharma - ZhongKe Biopharm - Zhongyuan Union Stem Cell Bioengineering For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/hhmz42/global_and
