Cell Processing Market Expansion Projected To Gain An Uptick During 2026


Cell processing includes a series of activities from collection of cells from donor, extraction of cell till the storage, and distribution of cells to receiver for cell therapy. Cell processing involves distinct processes of cell collection, cell isolation, cell analysis, cell expansion, washing and concentration, preservation, and distribution.

Cell therapy is defined as the administration of living whole cells in a patient for the treatment of a disease. The origin of the cells can be from the same individual (autologous source) or from another individual (allogeneic source). Different types of cells can be used for cell therapy such as hematopoietic stem cell, embryonic stem cell, skeletal muscle cells, mesenchymal cells, and neural cells. Cell therapy is used for treating cancers, autoimmune diseases, urinary and infectious diseases, rebuilding damaged cartilage in joints, repairing spinal cord injuries, improving a weakened immune system, and helping patients with neurological disorders.

The global cell processing market size is expected to increase, owing to rising demand for cell therapy. Cell therapy is the only curative treatment for many diseases such as cancer, autoimmune disease, and neural disease. According to the Worldwide Network for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (WBMT), in 2012, around one million stem cell transplantations were performed, worldwide.

Despite technological innovation and product development over the last decade, the market has been affected by the lack of a trained workforce to operate complex instruments, such as flow cytometers and multi-mode readers. Technologically advanced and highly complex flow cytometers and spectrophotometers generate a wide array of data outputs that require expertise for interpreting and reviewing. However, there is a demand-supply gap for skilled professionals worldwide, according to the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS). The UK and Europe are expected to face a serious lab skills shortage over the next decade, with medical laboratories among the worst affected. According to a research study carried out by the Gatsby Foundation, by 2030, the UK will require a further 700,000 technicians to support the economy. The shortage of skilled professionals is one of the key factors limiting the adoption and utilization of cell therapy technologies in several countries across the globe.
