Market Trends and Drivers
In recent years, there has been an upsurge in demand for the use of biopreservation to develop biological products in R&D of various sectors such as immunotherapies, vaccine production, antibody production, enzyme technology, and biologically produced chemicals. This impact is due to the rising number of chronic disease incidences globally. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the leading cause of disease-related mortality in adults is the rising prevalence of cardiovascular disorders and cancer in the U.S. Furthermore, the government and private sectors have shown interest and supported funding activities in research and development, which has led to immense market developments. In past years, the growing demand for preserving stem cells and developing biological medicines and products has gained investors’ focus on the field. This considerable healthcare spending is expected to grow in the market in the forecast period. However, the growing market for biopreservation is associated with the unavailability of skilled professionals and lacking stringent cyber securities. This is due to the high cost associated with training of labor and standardization of software. This can have an impact on overall market growth.
Market Restraints and Challenges
R&D in media solutions, which allow room temperature storage of biospecimens is expected to hinder growth of the global biopreservation market. For instance, Biomatrica, Inc. offers room temperature sample stabilization media solutions such as DNA stable and RNA stable. Such solutions pose a threat to demand for freezers and refrigerators, thereby restricting the market growth. Moreover, high cost recovery model of biobanking is also expected to limit adoption of biopreservation..

Global Biopreservation Market by Application
By application, the Biopreservation Market is classified into Regenerative Medicine, Bio-banking, and Drug Discovery. The biobanking segment dominated the global market with a revenue share of over 70.0% in 2021. Rising awareness regarding stem cell preservation, increasing acceptance of sperm and egg banking, and utilization of assistant reproductive technology in animals are fueling the segment growth. Pharmaceutical companies have collaborations with reserve bio-banks and hospitals for tissue preservation. The regenerative medicine segment is expected to expand at the highest CAGR of 30.3% in the forecast period owing to increasing demand for technologically advanced bio-storage techniques. In addition, the launch of specific preservation techniques is expected to propel the segment growth in the coming years.
Global Biopreservation Market by Cell Provider Volume
Based on cell provider volume. It is segmented into CD34+, CD19+, MSC, iPSC, hESC, Tumor Cells, and Others. Tumor cells held the largest revenue share of over 15.0% in 2021. This can be attributed to increasing diagnosis, research, and treatment activities that involve the development of cancer therapies. Tumor cells are utilized for biomarkers in various cancer studies such as prostate, colon, and breast carcinomas. The clinical utility of tumor cells has further supported the segment growth. The iPSC segment is projected to grow rapidly in the forecast period owing to increasing use in restorative therapy because of its ability to propagate without any limit. It involves a wide range of biomedical research concentrated on cells, associated with disease modeling, drug discovery, organ synthesis, RBCs, and tissue repairs. Rising funding assistance further offers a lucrative opportunity for market growth.
Geographical Analysis of Global Biopreservation Market
Region-wise, it is studied across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. The North American market is primarily driven by the rise in demand for the preservation of blood, solid tissue specimens, including paraffin-embedded or frozen bio-specimen of tumors, and other tissues (like peripheral blood cells, bone marrow, and stem cells-derived cord blood and its derivatives), across multiple research institutes, pathological centers, and hospitals. The surge in the government's investment in drug discovery is projected to boost the biopreservation utility for the preservation of cells, tissues, and organs ex-vivo for the purpose of storage, shipment, and transportation. For instance, the Canadian government invested USD 45 million in the current year over the next three years to the Stem Cell Network to encourage stem cell and regenerative medicine research. Such investments are anticipated to boost the utility and demand of biopreservation in the region, thereby boosting market growth during the forecast period.
Additionally, advancements in technology, increasing product approvals, partnerships, and acquisitions by key players are helping in the market growth. For instance, in February 2022, OriGen Biomedical Inc., a global medical device manufacturer of cryopreservation, cell culture, and respiratory products, launched CryoStore FLEX Freezing Bag in the United States and Europe. The CryoStore FLEX Bag is designed for the cryopreservation of blood components and offers the multi-chamber flexibility of small-volume dose solutions.
