Asia Pacific Stem Cell Market Size, Share, Growth Analysis, By Product(Adult stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), embryonic stem cells, and others), By Technology(Cell acquisition, cell production, cryopreservation, and expansion and subculture), By Application(Clinical applications, and drug discovery and development), By Region - Industry Forecast 2024-2031

Asia Pacific Stem Cell Market size was valued at USD 2.21 billion in 2022 and is poised to grow from USD 2.41 billion in 2023 to 4.84 USD  billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 9.1% during the forecast period (2024-2031)

The Asia-Pacific region is experiencing a rise in medical tourism, particularly in emerging countries like India and China. This growth can be attributed to various factors, including collaborations between Asian governments, international health agencies, and private firms, as well as significant investments in medical research and healthcare facilities. However, despite this positive outlook, the Asia-Pacific stem cell market may face certain challenges. These challenges include the absence of a structured finance arrangement, ethical concerns surrounding stem cell research, and difficulties associated with the preservation of stem cells.

The evaluation of the Asia-Pacific stem cell market encompasses several countries, namely China, Japan, India, Australia & New Zealand, South Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, and the rest of the Asia Pacific region. China, in particular, has witnessed substantial growth in its stem cell market due to increased government involvement in strengthening the nation's biotech industry. The Chinese government allocated $18 billion to biotechnology research in its latest five-year plan, which has significantly contributed to the growth of the stem cell market. Moreover, China benefits from a supportive regulatory framework for stem cell research, along with growing private and public initiatives to promote the use of stem cell treatments. The expansion and modernization of healthcare infrastructure in China further fuel the growth of the stem cell market in the country.

Meanwhile, Japan has made significant contributions to stem cell therapies over the years, primarily driven by the importance of stem cells in treating incurable diseases. Japan is expected to be one of the most lucrative regions in the stem cell market, with a particular focus on induced pluripotent stem cells, which hold great potential in the field of regenerative medicine. In 2022, Japan-Metcela acquired Japan Regenerative Medicine Co Ltd, a subsidiary of Kidswell Bio Co Ltd, to enhance its pipeline with an autologous cell product for pediatric congenital heart disease. This acquisition will strengthen the clinical development infrastructure for regenerative medicine products in Japan. Consequently, these factors are anticipated to drive the growth of the stem cell market in the Asia-Pacific region during the forecast period.
