Cell cryopreservation involves cooling cells to sub-zero temperatures, typically in liquid nitrogen at -196°C, to preserve them. This process stops all biological activity and metabolism, enabling cells to be stored for extended periods without deterioration. Cryoprotective agents are essential to prevent ice crystal formation, which could harm cell structures during freezing and thawing.
The primary products of cell cryopreservation include cell freezing media, equipment, and consumables. Equipment comprises specialized tools such as controlled-rate freezing apparatuses or isopropanol chambers designed to freeze cells at specific rates. This technology finds applications in preserving various cell types such as hepatocytes, stem cells, oocytes, embryotic cells, sperm cells, among others. These products reach end-users through channels such as biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies, research institutes, Biobanks, in vitro fertilization (IVF) clinics, and similar entities.
The cell cryopreservation market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides cell cryopreservation market statistics, including the cell cryopreservation industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with cell cryopreservation market share, detailed cell cryopreservation market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the cell cryopreservation industry. These cell cryopreservation market research reports deliver a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The cell cryopreservation market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $12.65 billion in 2024 to $15.72 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing demand for cell-based therapies, rise in biomedical research, growing need for organ transplantation, rise in R&D activities for cell based therapies and increasing use of cryopreserved cell.
The cell cryopreservation market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $37.01 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures, advancement in organ transplantation procedures, expansion of biobanking activities, rising incidence of chronic diseases and positive government initiatives and funding. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in cryopreservation techniques, advancements in MRNA vaccine storage and transportation, advancements in cryoprotectants and freezing techniques, growing trend towards personalized medicine and advancements in stem cell research.
The growth of the cell cryopreservation market is anticipated to be driven by the increasing number of organ transplantation procedures. Organ transplantation involves replacing damaged or failing organs with healthy ones from donors, a procedure on the rise due to factors such as organ failure from various causes such as hereditary abnormalities, infections, traumas, and chronic diseases. In the context of organ transplantation, cell cryopreservation plays a vital role by freezing and storing cells from organs, preserving their viability for future use, improving graft success rates, and reducing immune rejection. For instance, data from the Health Resources and Services Administration in January 2024 showed a significant increase in organ transplants performed in 2023 compared to previous years, highlighting the upward trend in organ transplantation that fuels the demand for cell cryopreservation.
Companies in the cell cryopreservation market are focusing on developing advanced cryopreservation medium solutions to meet evolving customer needs. Cryopreservation medium solutions are specialized formulations that freeze cells or tissues at ultra-low temperatures, enabling long-term storage and transport while maintaining their viability and functionality. For example, Pluristyx Inc., a US-based provider of tools and technologies for cellular therapies, recently introduced PluriFreeze, a proprietary cryopreservation medium solution designed to accelerate the development of stem cell therapies. PluriFreeze is specifically tailored to support the growth of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), offering a novel approach to enhance the efficiency and quality of iPSC therapy development, particularly in stem cell therapy research and commercialization.
In January 2022, Cryoport, Inc., a management consulting services firm located in the US, joined forces with Cell Matters S.A. to offer comprehensive cryopreservation solutions for both autologous and allogeneic leukapheresis-based cell therapies. This collaboration aims to provide the life sciences sector with complete, end-to-end cryopreservation services, improving the consistency and quality of therapies derived from leukapheresis for both types of cell therapies. Cell Matters S.A., based in Belgium, specializes in cryobiology, cell therapy production, and cryopreservation techniques.
