"Designing Growth Strategies is in our DNA"
The global regenerative medicine market size was valued at USD 23.65 billion in 2021 and is projected to grow from USD 29.86 billion in 2022 to USD 153.05 billion by 2029, exhibiting a CAGR of 26.3% during the forecast period. Based on our analysis, the global market exhibited a decline of 7.2% in 2020 as compared to 2019. The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with regenerative medicine experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels.
Regenerative medicine is an emerging field aiming to repair, replace, or regenerate damaged tissue or organ using cells, tissues, or genetic material. It can treat and potentially cure many conditions and diseases that are intractable, chronic, and terminal, such as cancers, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, renal diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and others. According to the Alliance for Regenerative Medicine (ARM) 2021 report, the global financing in this market was raised to USD 22.7 billion in 2021 from USD 19.9 billion in 2020 to support 2,406 products that are under investigation. This growth is attributed to the technological advancements in the gene therapy field such as the first in vivo CRISPR therapy which has exhibited positive outcomes in 2021.
Moreover, the rising prevalence of chronic genetic disorders, coupled with increased healthcare expenditure by developed and developing countries. For instance, in July 2022, Washington University received a grant of USD 557,000 from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) to investigate the effectiveness of a novel engineered TRIM72 (ETRIM72) protein to regenerate vasculature and skeletal muscles in murine diabetic critical limb ischemia (CLI). Such growing support from government organizations through research grants, are propelling the global regenerative medicine market growth during the forecast period.
Comparatively Robust Market Performance of Cell Therapy and Gene Therapy Minimized COVID-19 Impact on the Market
The outbreak of COVID-19 impacted the global market differently as it is composed of various segments. The tissue engineering segment witnessed a significant negative decline, while the gene therapy segment witnessed robust growth due to the consistent sales of its rare disease therapeutics. Similarly, the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) segment declined in 2020, whereas the cell therapy segment generated a slightly higher growth rate in 2020.
In 2021, the market witnessed a resurgence with the ease of the pandemic restrictions leading to positive results such as an increase in the number of approvals by key regulatory agencies.
From 2022 onwards, the market is estimated to witness consistently stronger growth rates in the forecast period. As the prevalence of chronic diseases is rising, market players are focusing toward R&D initiatives to expand their pipeline candidates, which will lead to new product launches in the forecast period.

Innovative Pipeline Candidates to Contribute to Market Growth
Regenerative medicine is broadening its application areas from tissue repair and wound care to various fields such as cardiology, neurology, oncology, and others. Many pharmaceutical and life science companies are conducting clinical trials to establish their dominance over the traditional treatment methods citing the launch of potential candidates that are under development, leading to the introduction of novel products and therapies in the market.
High Treatment Costs and Inadequate Reimbursement Policies to Hinder Market Growth
High costs of the treatment using these products and lack of reimbursement policies are key factors restraining the market growth. For instance, most stem cell therapies are experimental or investigational drugs or treatments due to which there is limited Medicare insurance coverage leading to a considerable proportion of out-of-pocket payments. It only covers expenses of treatment that have been approved by the FDA such as allogeneic transplantation.
Lack of coverage provided by the major insurance providers leaves the only options for patients is to pay the treatment cost out-of-pocket or through crowd funding, which delays the treatment and slows the growth of the market. Moreover, there are limited approved therapies for a wide range of patient population suffering from various genetic disorders which are considerably expensive and may have other side effects which restrains its adoption, limiting the market growth.
