COVID-19 Analysis:

The rising prevalence of COVID-19 is projected to influence market growth over the forecast period.Like most of the markets, COVID-19 has also affected the regenerative medicine market and the market players.COVID-19 has decelerated the drug development process, resulting in slashed financing by the investors. Thus, the COVID-19 has restricted the growth of the market players. Similarly, the impact of COVID-19 on the R&D of regenerative medicines is unfavorable. The worst-hit entities are the clinics that are meant to perform clinical trials. The results of these clinical trials hold great importance to the involved regenerative medicine experts and investors. Most of the clinical trials have their enrolment postponed dealing with the rising number of COVID-19 patients and keeping the already enrolled participants away from contracting COVID-19. This has brought the initiation of new clinical trials to a standstill. Moreover, the participants skipped the clinical trials owing to the factors such as fear of contracting COVID-19, travel restrictions, etc. As a result, it can be said that COVID-19 has a negative impact on R&D.

In recent years, the market for regenerative therapies has expanded rapidly around the world. The development of new medical tools, the rise of chronic diseases, the maturation of regenerative medicine, and the expansion of stem cell research are all factors fueling the expansion of this industry.

In addition, the increasing approvals and product launches throughout the globe, as well as the rising popularity of stem cell technology, are expected to fuel the market's expansion over the next few years. Increases in healthcare innovation, market innovation, the frequency of chronic diseases, and development in stem cell technology all have an impact on the regenerative medicine industry.

Autologous cell therapies for potentially fatal diseases are also anticipated to benefit from the proliferation of cutting-edge technology like 3-D printing. One such allogenic cell-based medicine that treats venous leg ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers is Apligraf, made by Organogenesis, Inc.

July 2023: The UK-based SRAM & MRAM Group has announced a joint venture with CELLAAX, a top Malaysian cellular therapy biopharmaceutical firm. This is a huge step forward in the healthcare industry. The strategic partnership has the potential to transform stem cell therapy in India and other parts of the world. The two organizations hope to enhance regenerative medicine by pooling their knowledge and resources. The formation of this partnership is a major achievement in the ongoing fight to advance healthcare and raise people's standard of living.
