Overview of the global tissue banking market

Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global tissue banking market to grow at a CAGR of around 5% by 2020. The market is witnessing several trends such as shift in public perception toward cord tissue and blood storage, improving techniques for the use of cord tissues in cellular therapy, and potential cure for cancers, blood disorders, and immune and genetic diseases. Tissue banks are used for storing umbilical cord tissues and blood, as these contain different types of stem cells, each with the potential to treat various injuries and diseases. Another development gaining grounds in the market is the use of automated tissue banking which plays a vital role in blood fractionation, DNA extraction, labelling, and capping techniques. With the increase in the harmonization of biobanks and research collaboration, the tissue banking market is anticipated to grow positively during the forecast period.

EMEA was the major revenue contributor to the tissue banking market and accounted for around 44% of the total market share during 2015. Much of the region’s growth is due to the presence of many established biobanks that offer tissue samples for research and therapeutic purposes. Several networking programs of tissue banks have resulted in the establishment of new tissue banks providing large sample storage capacity. With the newly established biobanks collaborating with each other to increase the existing tissue banking potentials, the market in this region is anticipated to witness growth in the coming years.

Competitive landscape and key vendors

This market is highly fragmented, with the presence of both large and small vendors. The global vendors dominate the market, however, most of the product offerings of these companies are almost similar. To increase their product sales, vendors are differentiating their products through automation of existing technologies, value-added services, and collaborations and partnerships with research and academic institutions. The companies that offer cost-effective consumables will likely succeed as tissue banks are concentrating on reducing the overall preservation cost of tissue banking.
