Because of the global expansion of biotechnology and the rising demand for regenerative medicines, the global cell expansion market is expected to continue to grow

 

Cell expansion is the process of adding cells to a cell. A cell is made up of a protein molecule and amino acid. These two chemicals attach and form a new part of the cell. Cells expand in different ways depending on the type of cell they are contained to, their ability to multiply, the nutrients that they contain, and other factors. It is important for cell expansion to occur properly or the cell will eventually die. The preference for regenerative medicines is continuously increasing. These medicines help the formation of new functional tissues that will replace the lost or defective ones. For carrying out all these processes efficiently, biotechnology labs are opening in every region and are indulging in deeper research methods, which is propelling the growth of the global cell expansion market. For instance, according to Biotechgate, there are around 19,780 biotech companies in the world, who are indulged in some of the other kinds of stem cell researches and trying to develop newer regenerative medicines.

Cell expansion can take place in one of two ways. One way cell growth occurs when a cell is forced to divide into two new cells. The other way cell growth happens is, once a cell replicates itself to form a new generation of cells. This new generation of cells is what forms the body and many of the organs in the human body including the eyes, brain, kidneys, lungs, liver, intestines, and other areas. When a cell duplicates itself, it also produces a waste product that must be removed from the cell. The waste product is known as free radicals that are harmful to the cells around the cell. If the free radicals are allowed to grow unchecked the body can become unhealthy. The use of anti-aging products and nutritional supplements can help control cell growth and maintain healthy cell growth. However, there is a lack of skilled workforce and high tech instrumentation in the biotech field, hence these along with the high cost of the cell expansion operations are posing as a threat to the growth of the global cell expansion market.

Biotechnology is developing very rapidly in North America, for which the region is experiencing high demand in the cell expansion market. For instance, according to Biotechnology Innovation Organization, there are currently more than 450 public biotech companies in the U.S., with another 2,336 biotech companies practicing privately. Moreover, the federal government has been making continuous investments for better stem cell research processes and the development of regenerative medicines, which is aiding the growth of the cell expansion market.
