Once limited to supplying tissues to academics for basic scientific research, biobanking has evolved into a lucrative and complex industry. Increasing use of samples and data in the drug discovery and development process, increased investment in regenerative medicine and the growing trend of preserving stem cells for future use has driven rapid growth in the global biobanking industry. However, the heterogeneity in biobanking regulations and practices regarding collection, storage and consent procedure limits international transfer of samples and data, impeding market growth.
Despite the aforementioned barriers to market growth, growing investment in regenerative medicine from the private and public sectors points towards an optimistic future for the biobanking industry, particularly for private (family) cord blood banking and stem cell biobanking. Although stem cell biobanking is in its nascent phase, the market is expected to grow significantly, driven mainly by clinical studies on stem cell therapy. The growing use of stem cells derived from adipose tissue and umbilical cord blood in ongoing and planned clinical studies suggests that they may overtake bone marrow-derived stem cells in the near future.
