Global Cell Expansion Market Outlook 2019 - Product, Cell Type, Application & End User Analysis of the $14 Billion Industry
M2 - Fri Nov 07, 6:41AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/hw245b/cell_expansion) has announced the addition of the "Cell Expansion Market by Product , Cell Type, Application, End User - Forecast to 2019" report to their offering. The global cell expansion market is expected to reach $14.8 billion by 2019 from $6.0 billion in 2014, growing at a CAGR of 19.7% from 2014 to 2019 The global cell expansion market is categorized on the basis of product, cell type, application, end user, and geography. The human cell expansion segment is expected to register the highest growth rate in the cell expansion market, by cell type, during the forecast period. Its favorable growth is attributed to increasing focus on human stem cell research and the increasing usage of stem cell for treating various disorders. Also, the market of regenerative medicines is expected to grow at highest CAGR in the cell expansion application market. This growth is attributed to the increasing government investments and technological advancements in this segment. Major factors contributing to growth of the cell expansion market include the increasing research activities, technological advancements, high prevalence of chronic diseases, and rising investments by companies are likely to propel the growth of this market. Furthermore, government support in the form of funding is another major factor providing impetus for growth of this market. For instance, in April 2013, the Scottish government granted $13.5 million to the College of Life Sciences at the University of Dundee (Scotland) for development of advanced stem cell technology. The relatively untapped markets of the Asian region and advent of 3D technology in cell expansion have opened an array of opportunities for the cell expansion market.
