Market Definition

Stem cells are the body's initial materials from which all other cells with specialized functions are generated. Under the right conditions in the body or a laboratory, stem cells divide to form more cells called daughter cells. The daughter cells become new stem cells or specialized cells (differentiation) with a more specific function, such as blood cells, brain cells, heart muscle cells, or bone cells. Much interest in stem cells has brought interest among the research scientists. Understanding how a disease develops and occurs by using stem cells, generating healthy cells to replace cells, and testing novel drug safety and efficacy are the scientific reasons why stem cell therapeutics are used.

Stem cell therapy promotes dysfunctional or injured tissue repair response using stem cells or derivatives. It is the next chapter in organ transplantation and uses cells instead of donor organs, which are limited in supply. The adult stem cells, such as adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells, and placental or umbilical stem cells, are found in small numbers in most tissues. The embryonic stem cells originate from embryos, which are three to five days old. Emerging indications indicate that adult stem cells may be able to create various types of cells.

Asia-Pacific Stem Cell Therapy Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rise in clinical trials for stem-cell-based therapies

Clinical trials with stem cells have taken the field in many new directions. While numerous teams continue to refine and expand the role of bone marrow and cord blood stem cells for their vanguard uses in blood and immune disorders, many others are looking to expand the uses of the various types of stem cells found in the bone marrow and cord blood, in particular mesenchymal stem cells, to services beyond those that could be corrected by replacing cells in their lineage.

For instance,

• In September 2020, MEDIPOST initiated the phase 2 clinical trial of CARTISTEM, an allogenic stem cell therapy product for knee osteoarthritis, in Japan.
• Rise in GMP certification approvals for cell therapy production facilities.

GMP ensures that products are consistently produced and controlled to state-of-the-art quality standards appropriate to their intended use. Thus, GMP principles significantly contribute to providing consumers and patients with products with consistent quality and high safety levels.

• Growing biotechnology sector

People are getting more aware of their health, and also there is alertness for preventive healthcare. Emphasis on healthcare is gaining popularity. Awareness of disease and symptoms is essential for screening and early detection of infections due to advanced technology available in the healthcare system, such as stem cell technology which is helping the healthcare providers lead to higher survival rates. Many biotechnology companies focusing on the development of stem cell-based therapies are expected to drive the market's growth.

For instance,

• In 2022, according to InvestIndia, India will be among the top 12 destinations for biotechnology globally and 3rd largest biotechnology destination in the Asia Pacific region. In 2020, the Biotech industry reached a market size of USD 70,200 million, raising 12.3%.

Opportunities

• The emergence of induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSCS)

Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are a type of pluripotent stem cell-derived from adult somatic cells that have been genetically reprogrammed to an embryonic stem (E.S.) cell-like state through the forced expression of genes and factors. The induced pluripotent stem cells are better since the IPSCs are less prone to immune rejection since they can be patient-derived. The production of iPS cell lines avoids the ethical controversy of embryo destruction associated with E.S. cell generation. The market players have also developed induced pluripotent stem cells, keeping in mind the safety and convenience of the patients.

For instance,

• In April 2018, ViaCyte, Inc. announced the issuance of more than 200 patents for pluripotent stem cells. The newly issued patents had further strengthened the ViaCyte's already strong position in pluripotent cell-derived and implantable cell replacement therapies for insulin-requiring diabetes and other potential indications.
• Strategic initiative by market players

The demand for stem cell therapy has increased the demand in Asia-Pacific due to the timely treatment of chronic conditions. These favorable factors enhance the need for medications, and to achieve the market demand, minor and major market players are utilizing various strategies.

The major players are also trying to devise specific strategies, such as product launches, acquisitions, approvals, expansions, and partnerships, to ensure the smooth running of the business, avoid risks, and increase the long-term growth in the sales of the market.

These strategic initiatives by the market players, including acquisition, conferences, and focused segment product launches, are helping the companies grow and improve the company's product portfolios, ultimately leading to more revenue generation. Hence, these strategic initiatives by the market players provide an opportunity that is helping them to drive market growth.

Restraints/Challenges

• Availability of alternatives

The availability of alternate treatment is a term that describes medical treatments that are used instead of traditional (mainstream) therapies. Some people also refer to it as "integrative" or "complementary" medicine. The alternatives of stem cell therapy are used since some adult stem cells may not be able to be manipulated to produce all cell types. The other options instead of stem cell therapy are exosomes and somatic cell nuclear transfer.

The availability of alternative treatments would result in a decline in stem cell therapeutics in poor economy countries. Hence, alternate therapies are expected to restrain the market growth.

• Stringent regulations in Asia-Pacific

The regulatory guidelines for stem cell therapeutics are strict compared to older ones. The manufacturers have to make specific product changes before approval, which is expected to cause delays.

The companies have to carefully review the product specifications and certifications before categorizing their product according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Union (E.U.). Every country has its regulatory authority responsible for enforcing rules and regulations for drug development, licensing, registration, manufacturing, marketing, and labeling of pharmaceutical products.

FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation & Research (CBER) regulates human tissues, cells, and tissue-based products intended for transplantation, including hematopoietic stem cells. The FDA has published comprehensive requirements such as donor screening, donor testing requirements, and current good tissue practices to prevent the introduction, transmission, and spread of infectious diseases.

For instance,

• In India, the regulatory laws for stem cell therapy are governed by the Stem Cells, and Cell-Based products (SCCPs) are regulated as Drug. for Stem Cell Research and have been published by ICMR as National Guideline for Stem Cell Research (NGSCR) 2017, which elaborates on restricted, prohibited and permitted research along with the minimal, substantial and major manipulation. Further, the indications that  require prior approval are given in Annexure III of the guidelines.
• The regulatory framework in Japan holds regulatory laws similar to the U.S. and the European Union. Japan's Act on the Safety of Regenerative Medicine (ASRM) created an innovative regulatory framework intended to safely promote the clinical development of stem cell-based interventions (SCBIs) while subjecting commercialized, unproven SCBIs to greater scrutiny and accountability. The Act on the Safety of Regenerative Medicine (ASRM) specifies the regulations that doctors, review committees, and cell culture/processing facilities must adhere to when providing regenerative medicine in medical care, not only in clinical research but also in private practice.
