Moreover, the pharmaceutical industry is projected to use the iPSC approach widely to generate effective cell sources, such as iPSC-derived functional cells, to enable drug screening and toxicity assessment, which will increase the demand for cell reprogramming technology. New players are entering the market with sophisticated technologies to meet the growing demand and capture untapped avenues of the industry.
For instance, in January 2020, Allele Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Astellas Pharma Inc., entered into a licensing agreement through its subsidiary Astellas Institute for Regenerative Medicine (AIRM) to increase the focus on expanding its core competency in reprogramming somatic cells into iPSCs. Allele’s researchers and the cGMP team are also dedicated to establishing and verifying cell assays for product quality control, genomic analysis workflows, closed-system technology for reprogramming, and machine learning in iPSC-related sectors to fully utilize the unmatched potential of iPSC. Such endeavors by biotech corporations are anticipated to provide the development of induced pluripotent stem cells a strong push and further boost the industry growth.
The mRNA technology segment accounted for the highest share of more than 36.10% of the overall revenue in 2021. This technology is easy to use and offers a quick, secure, & effective way to create human iPS cells of the highest quality from somatic tissue. It also provides a reprogramming efficiency of better than 1% and an advantage when working with difficult-to-reprogram samples. For instance, according to an article published in February 2021, synthetic mRNA cell reprogramming is an accurate and reliable method to generate human iPSCs. Sendai virus-based reprogramming is also anticipated to expand at a significant growth rate during the projected period.
As it generates cell reprogramming at a steady rate and has technological superiorities over other techniques, it has a high adoption rate among patients and is widely used in clinical studies of gene therapy and vaccine delivery. For instance, in May 2018, a Sendai virus reprogrammed system was developed by the International Society of Cell and Gene Therapy for use in clinical and translational studies. In addition, techniques were developed using the Sendai antibody for the detection and removal of undesirable cells, as well as qPCR-based SeV quantification to ensure that the clones produced were footprint-free. Furthermore, increased chronic disease incidences continued technological advancements in reprogramming technology, and rising awareness in emerging nations are primary growth drivers.
On the basis of applications, the global industry has been further bifurcated into research and therapeutic. The research application segment dominated the industry in 2021 and accounted for the highest share of more than 80.35% of the overall revenue. One of the main drivers fueling segment growth is an ongoing research area in the field of cell reprogramming with the help of stem cells. Governments as well as other private groups are funding considerable stem cell research studies, which is pushing the industry participants to carve their niches in the global sector by treating a range of chronic conditions.
For instance, 64% of Americans support federal financing for chronic disease research using stem cells from human embryos. Thus, research efforts are anticipated to supplement the segment growth. Cell reprogramming has already opened up incredible possibilities for therapeutics, such as new drug treatments that inhibit degenerative changes or encourage stem or progenitor cells to distinguish the difference in the affected lineage in a particular condition, which are both possible as a result of reprogramming studies. Some degenerative disorders might also be treatable with cell transplantation. The speed and breadth of these developments are promoting segment growth.
On the basis of end-uses, the global industry has been further categorized into research & academic institutes, biotechnology & pharmaceutical companies, and hospitals & clinics. The research & academic institutes segment dominated the global industry in 2021 and accounted for the highest share of more than 36.10% of the overall revenue. Cell reprogramming has recently been transferred from the lab to the clinic by researchers. In numerous clinical and academic research projects, including those involving regenerative medicine, disease modeling, and medication toxicity/drug discovery studies, cell reprogramming has been used.
Furthermore, the clinical application of this technology is greatly facilitated by the use of cell reprogramming in regenerative medicine. This is linked to the growing research efforts examining the effectiveness and safety of cell reprogramming, which have helped the category flourish. The segment is also expected to be driven by an increase in the number of strategic efforts for research and method for innovative products from cell reprogramming. For instance, The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine has encouraged various research groups to contribute funds for cellular reprogramming’s transition to therapeutic applications and a clinical focus.
North America dominated the industry in 2021 and accounted for the largest share of 35.14% of the total revenue. The high share can be attributed to the ongoing iPSC technology advancements and the availability of functional cells for pre-clinical drug testing. High throughput drug toxicity analysis and expanding knowledge of the iPSC platform both contribute to the region’s expansion. In the U.S., activities in medical research have increased as a result of the growing need for innovative treatment options. One of the main areas of attention is stem cell research, hence the requirement for cell reprogramming has been favored by this expanded study.
