We Analyzed a Decade of Historical Information on Cord Blood & Cord Tissue Markets (This Is What We Learned)

February 16, 2016 By Cade Hildreth (CEO) Leave a Comment

The cord blood banking market is complex. There are regions experiencing growth and regions experiencing decline. There are extremely successful cord blood banks, and banks that are going out of business or being acquired by the competition.

In addition, there are unique opportunities occurring within the cord blood space that are based on emerging technologies, such as ex vivo expansion of cord blood.

The cord tissue market is also complex, although for different reasons. Today, half of all cord blood banks worldwide offer this service and the number is accelerating. Interestingly, the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) contained in cord tissue may have growing opportunities relative to the hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) contained in cord blood, because MSCs just surpassed HSCs in the scientific literature for the first time in history.

For this reason, BioInformant is offering industry-leading market intelligence for both cord blood and cord tissue markets for the next 14 days only.

Is It the Era for Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)?

February 4, 2016 By Cade Hildreth (CEO) Leave a Comment

Wow! For the first time in history, the research of mesenchymal stem cells surpassed hematopoietic stem cell research within the scientific literature in 2015.

This is major news for the stem cell community, because it represents a shift in stem cell research activity.

Mesenchymal stem cells, of the five types analyzed, were the only type to also experience an increase in frequency of publication from 2014 to 2015 as well. Conversely, all four other types experienced decreases in publication during the aforementioned period.

Why I Respectfully Disagree with Other Market Intelligence Reports about Cord Blood Banking

January 7, 2016 By Cade Hildreth (CEO) Leave a Comment

Recently, I’ve seen posts on LinkedIn and the web for a cord blood market report titled “Global Cord Blood Banking Services (Stem Cell) Market, Size, Share, Trends, Forecast, Global Analysis, Research, Report, Segmentation, and Future Demand, 2012 – 2020.”

I rarely reflect on products by other companies, but this report is disturbing in that it is painfully inaccurate.

As global business expert Joe Polish likes to say, “The most expensive information is bad information,” and this is a case of that situation.

In the Executive Summary, a highlight of the main findings for this report, Allied Market Research states that the “Cord blood market is expected to grow at 33.5% CAGR from 2012-2020.”

November 24, 2015; HemoGenix, Inc. – The passage by voice vote of H.R. 2820, otherwise known as The Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research Reauthorization Act of 2015 through the U.S. House of Representatives [1] has been lauded by many in the cord blood community, including the Cord Blood Association (CBA) that promoted the bill. There is a good chance the Bill will become law, because health issues usually have bipartisan support. Although patients requiring a cord blood stem cell transplant have been helped by previous Bills, they have nevertheless not benefited from the principle purpose of this Bill, namely to provide high-quality cord blood stem cells for transplantation.
