Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) marketSize and Trends

The global hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) market is estimated to be valued at US$ 2.88 Billion in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 11.2% during the forecast period (2023-2030).

The increasing investment and funding by key market players is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in November 2021, Clade Therapeutics, a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and delivering scalable, off-the-shelf, next-generation stem cell-based medicines, announced it had secured an US$87 million in Series A financing led by Syncona Ltd., an investment company. This financing supports the development of the company’s proprietary platform, which enables the immune cloaking of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and the differentiation of cloaked stem cells into therapeutic cells.

Global Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) Market – Drivers

Increasing prevalence of cancer: The increasing prevalence of cancer is expected to propel growth of the global hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) market over the forecast period. For instance, in February 2022, according to data provided by the World Health Organization, cancer was a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020, or nearly one in six deaths. The most common cancers are breast, lung, colon, rectum, and prostate cancers. The most common in 2020 (in terms of new cases of cancer) were breast (2.26 million cases); lung cancer (2.21 million cases); colon and rectum (1.93 million cases); and prostate (1.41 million cases).
Increasing geriatric population: The increasing geriatric population is expected to drive the global hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) market’s growth over the forecast period. For instance, in October 2022, according to data provided by the World Health Organization, in 2020, Between 2015 and 2050, the proportion of the world's population over 60 will nearly double from 12% to 22%. The share of the population aged 60 years and over will increase from 1 million in 2020 to 1.4 million. By 2050, the world’s population of people aged 60 and older will double (2.1 million). The number of people aged 80 years or older is expected to triple between 2020 and 2050 to reach 426 million.

Global Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) Market - Regional Analysis

Among regions, North America is estimated to hold a dominant position in the global hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) market over the forecast period. North America is estimated to hold 33.5% of the market share in 2023. The global hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) market is expected to witness significant growth in the coming years due to increasing inorganic growth strategies such as mergers to expand their product portfolio in North America region. For instance, in May 2021, Jasper Therapeutics, Inc., a U.S. based biotechnology company focused on hematopoietic cell transplant therapies, announced the merger with Amplitude Healthcare Acquisition Corporation, a private life science company, to provide significant capital to accelerate the development of our two innovative programs: Jasper’s first-in-class clinical-stage anti-CD117 antibody transplant conditioning agent and, in parallel, our groundbreaking research stage Engineered Hematopoietic Stem Cell platform.

Global Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) Market – Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to over 100 countries across the globe, and the World Health Organization declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.

COVID-19 affected the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting the production and demand of drugs, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to nationwide lockdowns, several countries, such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E., Egypt, and others, are facing problems with the transportation of things from one place to another.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the global hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) market, owing to a reduction in bed and operating room capacity, which further led to considerable delays in urgent and semi-elective surgical interventions. According to an American College of Surgeons (ACS) 2021 report, the nature of surgery and anesthesia practices changed during the COVID-19 pandemic as the most elective and non-urgent cases were postponed.
