Cord blood banking is when a baby's umbilical cord blood is collected and stored after delivery. Cord blood is what's left inside a baby's umbilical cord after its cut. Umbilical cord blood is rich in stem cells. Stem cells are valuable because they help treat many life-threatening diseases. For most healthy people, making stem cells isn't a problem. Unfortunately, some people don't make enough healthy stem cells due to a severe medical condition or disease. The stem cells from cord blood can be lifesaving for these people. Cord blood contains a special type of stem cell found in bone marrow that can help strengthen the immune system. These cells are unique because they can mature into different types of blood cells. Cord blood banks exist to collect and store these stem cells. Healthcare providers use cord blood stem cells for transplants in sick people or for medical research. Cord blood banking is entirely optional. People who need stem cell transplants benefit from a baby's cord blood. Once stem cells are transplanted into those individuals, they help make new, healthy cells. Stem cell transplants help people with: Cancers like leukemia and lymphoma; Bone marrow diseases requiring a transplant; Anemia like sickle cell disease; certain immune system disorders. Researchers are studying cord blood to see how it can help treat other life-threatening conditions like Parkinson's disease and diabetes. Cord blood banks analyze and process the cord blood it receive. It assigns the blood certain characteristics. When these characteristics are matched for donor and receiver, donated stem cells can help a sick person's immune system fight diseases.
Market Dynamics
Increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, mergers and acquisitions by key market players, and increasing number of blood donor centers are expected to drive the global cord blood banking services market’s growth. For instance, in April 2020, BioIVT LLC a provider of research models and services for drug and diagnostic development, started its new blood donor center on the Tufts University campus in Medford, Massachusetts, U.S., to support academic and pharmaceutical researchers involved in COVID-19, cell, and gene therapy research.
