Cryopreservation of Cells is Driven by Growing Applications in Stem Cell, Reproductive and Drug Discovery Technologies

Cryopreservation of cells allows for the long-term storage and preservation of various cell types at extremely low temperatures, typically in liquid nitrogen. Various cell types like stem cells, gametes, cord blood cells and tissue engineered products require cryopreservation for maintaining viability and functionality over extended periods of time. Increasing applications of cellular therapy and regenerative medicine using stem cells and rising prevalence of cancers that require stem cell transplant are propelling demand for cryopreservation techniques and products. Growing focus on personalized medicine and precision therapies also rely on availability of viable cellular material archived over long duration. Cord blood banking is another application fueling adoption of cryopreservation methods, giving millions worldwide access to potentially life-saving stem cells.

The global Cell Cryopreservation Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 228.8 million in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.7% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market key trends:

One of the key trends in the cell cryopreservation market is the growing adoption of automated cell cryopreservation systems. Traditionally, cell cryopreservation involved labor-intensive manual procedures requiring skilled technicians. However, automated systems provide walk-away capability, standardized procedures, traceability and consistency in cryopreservation outcomes. They minimize human errors, improve productivity and ensure compliance. Many industry players are focused on development of innovative automated solutions to streamline workflows and address the scalability challenges faced in large cell processing facilities and biobanks. This is expected to drive increased demand and wider applications of cell cryopreservation systems over the forecast period.
