Cell Therapy Instrument Market Analysis

Cell therapy is when living and intact cells are injected, implanted, or grafted into the patient's body. For instance, a person with cancer is injected with T cells during their course of immunotherapy. Delivery of cell therapy instruments ranges from injections to surgical implantation using special devices. Cell therapy has applications in a large number of disorders. The most important diseases of the nervous system are cancer. Other applications include cardiac conditions (myocardial infarction and heart failure), diabetes mellitus, bones and joints, genetic disorders, and wounds of the skin and soft tissues.

Cell Therapy Instrument Market Overview

One of the most promising methods for treating cancer is chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, and every year, an enormous number of pre-clinical and clinical trials are conducted to increase its application. After decades of research, CAR-T cell therapy will inevitably expand. In addition to autologous and allogeneic products, new in-vivo CAR-T cell gene therapies and efficacy in indications other than hematologic malignancies will also be investigated in the future of cellular therapies.

Cell Therapy Instrument Market Drivers and Opportunities

Increasing Developments in Cell Therapy Manufacturing

The increasing research activities in cell therapy have led to extraordinary therapeutic developments in cell therapy instruments to treat genetic disorders and improve the immune system efficiently. Various market players provide consumables such as reagent kits and enzymes, and many companies offer instruments, equipment, and software to conduct a wide range of cell therapy processes.

Equipment use is important for producing cell therapies such as T cells, HSC, MSC, PSC, and NSC. These cell therapy products are derived from human or animal cells and thus require safe conditions from contamination. Thus, the instruments used for cell therapies help prevent contamination and allow scaling up the production. For instance, companies such as Corning Incorporated, Hitachi Chemical Advanced Therapeutics Solutions, LLC, Cytiva (General Electric Company), Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Invetech, and Miltenyi Biotec have introduced various instruments and consumables for cell therapy.

Growth Opportunities in Developing Regions– An Opportunity in the Cell Therapy Instruments Market

The biotechnology sector in Asia Pacific and Middle East is growing rapidly with the support of heavy investments and strategic developments among private and public organizations with countries in North American and European regions. For instance, in December 2019, Astellas Pharma Inc (Japan) signed an agreement to acquire Audentes Therapeutics Inc., a gene therapy company, for US$ 3 billion. Similarly, in November 2019, Fujifilm planned to invest ~US$ 120 million (13 billion yen) in gene therapy as a part of contract development and manufacturing segment of the organization. Also, the Japan Pharmaceutical Medical Device Agency (PMDA) approved two gene therapy products. The products were approved simultaneously under Sakigake designation, which is equivalent to the FDA breakthrough therapy designation and the EMA Priority Medicine (PRIME) designation and is expected to approve at least one therapy per year. Such strategic developments by the domestic players in the Asian countries for cell therapy domain are likely to increase demand for cell therapy instruments in coming future.
