New entrants therefore have a host of options with regards to market entry. Several trends observed with respect to this scenario include taking concentrated efforts on reprogramming and achieving in-house differentiation, purchase of iPSC derived cell types from off-the-shelf product portfolio, or to enter into agreements with third party purveyors to produce customized models. This has spurred a range of possibilities that will feature iPSC based models for a host of disease models, phenotypic assays, and toxicology testing.
Many companies have developed transfection kits, reprogramming vectors, differentiation media, live staining kits, immunocytochemistry, among others to aid smooth workflow of iPSC production. However, it has been observed in the recent past that the demand for cells for screening and other purposes is significant and that there are significant challenges that pose significant hurdle in large scale iPSC production and differentiation.
Increasing Demand for Body Reconstruction Procedures and Tissue Engineering
Major challenge in the field of tissue engineering is identifying novel cellular technologies that accurately mimics and reflects human physiology. Evolution of scaffold technology to address this challenge is observed to have great success rate in recent years and is expected to drive with assured growth over the forecast period.
Lack of insufficient organ donor is one of the high impacts rendering factor to drive demand for scaffold technology. Application of biomimetic tissue constructs to reproduce 3D organotypic structure has convinced large number of research entities to adopt scaffold technology for organoid generation in order to enhance transplantation procedures.
Scaffold technologies have shown potential in fulfilling the purpose of tissues engineering to restore and maintain the function of damaged organs. Increase in demand for in vitro tissue constructs that provide co-ordination of multiple cellular processes such as transportation of nutrients, mechanical stability, is expected to drive the progress of scaffold technology market. In order to accomplish proper transplantation procedures, researchers have invested efforts for development of scaffolds as matrices/support for proper insertion of the tissue substitutes in the patient’s body, which is expected to fuel growth over the forecast period.
Ethical Concerns Pertaining to Animals
Ethical concerns surrounding the use of animals, particularly bovine fetuses, in cell culture processes have emerged as a significant issue within the Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (iPSC) market. The reliance on bovine fetal serum for cell culture poses ethical dilemmas due to the intense suffering inflicted on the animals during the blood collection process. The inhumanity of extracting blood from the fetus's heart without anesthesia has raised ethical alarms among scientists and manufacturers alike, prompting calls for alternative and more humane sourcing methods.
The heightened awareness of these ethical concerns has catalyzed regulatory actions and government interventions aimed at controlling the use of animal-derived products in cell culture. Governments, including the U.S., have implemented stringent regulations to address the ethical implications of using living organisms in research and commercial applications.

To Understand the Scope of this Report:Speak to Analyst
Based on derived cell category analysis, the market has been segmented on the basis of hepatocytes, fibroblasts, neural cells, amniotic cells, cardiomyocytes, and others. In 2023, the cardiomyocytes has emerged as the dominant segment in the global market since cardiomyocytes are the specialized muscle cells of the heart responsible for its contraction and pumping action. They are crucial for maintaining cardiac function and in the context of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). With the increasing prevalence of CVDs globally, there's a growing demand for innovative therapies targeting cardiomyocytes to address various heart conditions.
The induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) market is witnessing a surge in demand for cardiomyocytes due to their potential in regenerative medicine. iPSC technology allows the generation of patient-specific cardiomyocytes, offering personalized treatment options for heart diseases. Collaborations between companies are accelerating this demand by pooling resources, expertise, and technologies to advance research and development in cardiomyocyte-based therapies. For instance, In June 2021, Novo Nordisk A/S unveiled a worldwide partnership with Heartseed Inc., a Japanese iPSC-producing startup. This collaboration focuses on the development, production, and marketing of HS-001, purified cardiomyocytes sourced from iPSCs, as an investigational cell therapy for heart failure.
Based on application category analysis, the market has been segmented on the basis of manufacturing, academic research, drug development & discovery, toxicity screening, and regenerative medicine. The regenerative medicine segment is anticipated to witness a significant growth rate in the forecasting years. Regenerative medicine encompasses therapeutic approaches aimed at repairing, replacing, or regenerating tissues or organs to restore normal function in diseased or injured individuals. This interdisciplinary field combines principles from biology, engineering, and medicine to develop innovative treatments for a wide range of medical conditions.
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are a key component of regenerative medicine applications. The vast applications and robust product pipelines by companies in regenerative medicine drive the demand for iPSCs. Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies invest heavily in iPSC research to develop novel therapeutics for various diseases, including neurological disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and degenerative conditions. For instance, in April 2022, Editas Medicine presented preclinical data on modified iPSC-derived NK cells with enhanced tumor-killing capacity, potentially improving anti-tumor activity against solid tumors. iPSC-based products hold immense potential for addressing unmet medical needs and revolutionizing patient care.
North America accounted for the largest revenue share in the global market. North America, region is mainly renowned for its biomedical research and innovation.
