Technological Breakthroughs will Ensure Sustainable Growth to Stem Cells Fuel Market

“Advancement in cord blood banking technology is one of the major factors driving the growth of the global cord blood banking services market,” says a TMR analyst. The process employed in the storage of blood from umbilical cord varies for each company depending on their technological capacity. Therefore, technological advancements enabling smooth and efficient processing of cord blood throughout the life span will reduce cost and encourage the establishment of more facilities for preserving cord blood.

Increased acceptance and rising awareness among parents about the benefits of cord blood arealso driving the growth of this market. Due to adequate knowledge about the benefits of cord blood among expectant parents and availability of cord blood banking facilities, cord blood banking services in developed countries is on the rise. On the other hand, lack of adequate infrastructure and high costs involved in cord blood banking process are reasons for the slow growth of the cord blood banking services market in developing regions.

Statutory Requirements for Operations of Cord Blood Banking Services Impede Market’s Growth

Lack of cord blood units is impeding the growth of the global cord blood banking services market, says a TMR analyst. According to information of ‘Be the Match Registry’ of National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP), only 190,000 cord blood units are available which creates a huge difference to the information availability of over 10 million potential donors.

Need for accreditation for cord blood banking services is also hampering the growth of this market. Global operations of cord blood banking services require accreditation from internationally recognized organizations for maintaining standard and quality of cord blood banking services. These activities involve huge costs and documentation that lead to increased cost for customers. Also, it restricts the entry of players that have less financial capacities.
