Cell Harvesting Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Cell Harvesting Market Analysis

The Cell Harvesting Market is expected to register a CAGR of 8.70% during the forecast period.

Factors such as rising investments in regenerative medicines and cell-based research are expected to boost market growth. In addition, with the increasing incidence of chronic and infectious diseases and the growing biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industries, the market studied is expected to grow over the forecast period.

Growing government initiatives to accelerate the research and development of regenerative medicine and cell therapy are expected to increase the demand for cell harvesters to reduce the time and cost of cell harvesting. For instance, in February 2022, the Government of India assisted in establishing state-of-the-art stem cell research facilities in 40 premier medical research and educational institutes to promote the study and development of regenerative medicine in the nation. Hence, establishing new research facilities increases the need for cell harvesting equipment, which is anticipated to boost market growth.

Furthermore, the increasing incidence of chronic and infectious diseases among the population raises the need for effective biotechnology-based products or regenerative medicines such as Luxturna and Zolgensma. This is anticipated to boost the demand for cell harvesters, propelling the market’s growth. For instance, as per 2024 statistics published by the Alzheimer's Association, 6.9 million people are living with Alzheimer's in America in 2024, and this number is projected to reach 13.8 million by 2060.

Additionally, according to an article published in BMJ Global Health in March 2022, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) affects approximately 250-300 newborns in Brazil every year. Thus, the high burden of chronic disease among the population is anticipated to increase the country's focus on developing advanced cell therapy drugs, thereby bolstering market growth.

Moreover, rising product launches by companies increase the availability of advanced cell harvester systems in the market, thereby contributing to the growth of the cell harvesting market. For instance, in June 2022, researchers from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), in collaboration with Regeneus, a biotech company, developed one of the first 3D-printed microfluidic stem cell harvesting systems. The microfluidic device is designed to collect stem cells from bioreactors, providing an affordable and scalable way to handle stem cells.

Therefore, the market studied is anticipated to grow over the forecast period due to a high burden of chronic diseases, growing biotechnology and biopharmaceutical companies, and rising investments. However, ethical issues about embryonic stem cell research are likely to hinder the growth of the cell harvesting market over the forecast period.

Cell Harvesting Industry Segmentation

As per the report's scope, cell harvesting is a technique for collecting different types of cells on the cultural surface. Multiple cell harvesting methods, such as centrifugation, filtration, microfiltration, cell separation, and T-cell culture, are used depending on the types of samples and experiments. Cell harvesting is considered an important operation that involves the removal of cells, cell debris, and other soluble and insoluble impurities that are detrimental to the subsequent chromatographic separation process.

The cell harvesting market is segmented by type of cell harvesting, application, end user, and geography. By type of cell harvesting, the market is segmented into manual cell harvesters and automated cell harvesters. By application, the market is segmented into biopharmaceutical applications, stem cell research, and other applications. By end user, the market is segmented into biotechnology and biopharmaceutical companies, research institutes, and other end users. By geography, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, and South America. The report also covers the estimated market sizes and trends for 17 countries across major regions globally. The report offers the market sizes and forecasts in value (USD) for the above segments.
