Global Live Cell Encapsulation Industry Growth and Trends Forecast to 2031

Summary

Live cell encapsulation has long been proposed as a solution in modern medicine to many therapeutic problems. Cell encapsulation technology is used for the immobilization of cells within biocompatible and semipermeable membranes. The encapsulation of cells, instead of therapeutic products, is used to allow the delivery of molecules of interest for a longer time period as cells release these molecules of interest continuously. Furthermore, cells can be engineered for expressing the protein of interest in vivo without modifying the host’s genome. Cell encapsulation presents a significant advantage compared to protein encapsulation, as cell encapsulation allows a sustained and controlled delivery therapeutic molecules at a constant rate, thereby resulting in greater physiological concentrations.

The Live Cell Encapsulation industry can be broken down into several segments, Alginate, HEMA-MMA, etc.

Across the world, the major players cover BioTime, Reed Pacific, Viacyte, etc.
