Biobanks Market

Global Biobanks Market Size

In 2024, the global biobanks market was valued at USD 3.55 billion and it is expected to reach USD 6.91 billion by 2033 from USD 3.82 billion in 2025, growing at a CAGR of 7.68% during the forecast period.

Biobanks advance biomedical and translational research by preserving and collecting biological samples. The samples, such as human tissues, blood, and nucleic acid, are collected and used to discover disease-relevant biomarkers. These samples are made helpful in the diagnosis and prediction of drug response. The collected data are analyzed and distributed biospecimens for search purposes and treating medical conditions. Regenerative medicine through stem cell technology is essential for the treatment of diseases. Alzheimer's, cancer, diabetes, and rare genetic disorders are cured using regenerative medicine. Umbilical cord cells and other stem cells are preserved to benefit from existing therapies. Stem cell practices are rising globally and influencing the expansion of new solutions for various diseases.

MARKET DRIVERS

Technological advancements and YOY growth in chronic diseases are expected to propel the global biobanks market growth.

The rising prevalence of chronic diseases is also propelling the biobanks market. Present medications are incapable of curing a wide range of chronic illnesses such as cancer, immune deficiency, cardiovascular disease, neurological disease, and genetic disease. And if they are available, they have specific side effects. As a result, new therapies to treat these diseases are needed. Biobanks play an essential role in the research for alternative therapies because they provide most of the evidence needed for developing new treatments. In addition, biobanks include many biospecimens that can be used in chronic disease studies. As a result, the use of biobanks has grown rapidly over the years. The government and non-profit organizations' support also helps set up the biobanks; subsequently, the market shows growth over the forecast period.

Increasing public awareness of genomic testing and stem cell therapies prides the opportunities for the growth of the biobanks market forward. In genetic disorders, genes and stem cells perform critical roles. They not only replace damaged cells but can also restore them with the aid of engineering. Furthermore, many people opt for cord blood banks for cord stem cell storage. Parents save their baby's cord blood in the hope that it will be helpful in the future. As a result, the number of banks has increased over the last few decades, and the stem cell transplantation process is simplified by preserving cord blood. According to WHO, about 50,000 Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantations are performed yearly, steadily growing.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

Strict regulations on biobanks in many countries are hampering the growth of the global biobanks market.

High costs associated with biobanks hinder the global biobanks market growth. Nonetheless, the high cost of biobanks inhibits business growth. To incorporate advanced technical biobanks, expensive machinery and other resources are needed. This raises the operational cost, and the high cost placed on consumers to store their biospecimens lowers the acceptance rate much more. Furthermore, myths about biobanks, a scarcity of trained people, and strict regulation also hinder the growth of the biobanks market. The main challenges are storage issues, regulatory issues, and inexpensive procedures. As a result, biomarker-based research is being adopted throughout the R & D process, from early detection to clinical research and data protection and confidentiality issues.

REPORT COVERAGE

SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS

By Product Type Insights

The biobanking equipment segment was the leader in 2023 and occupied the lion's share; the segment's dominance is anticipated to continue throughout the forecast period. An increase in the new biobanks among various geographies worldwide has majorly contributed to this segment securing the top spot.

By Sample Type Insights

The human tissue segment had 65% of the global biobanks market share based on the sample type in 2022. The segment is expected to grow further and register dominance in the coming years. Preference for human tissue specimens increases over animal tissue samples due to the unavailability of appropriate animal models for specific neurological and psychiatric disorders.

By Application Insights

The regenerative medicine segment captured the leading share of the market in 2023. Factors such as increasing research and development activities on regenerative medicines and increasing demand for well-characterized and quality biosamples for research are driving the growth of this segment.

REGIONAL ANALYSIS

Europe accounted for the largest share of the global market in 2023. The European region is also expected to showcase a healthy growth rate in the coming years owing to increasing government investments in biobanks to collect biospecimen data and improve medical infrastructure.

North America captured a substantial global market share in 2023 and is anticipated to register a promising CAGR during the forecast period. The growing healthcare investments and the processing of large databases and establishments are propelling the biobanks market growth in North America. The United States biobanks market led the North American region in 2021, and the domination is likely to continue in the coming years due to the increasing expenditure on healthcare. In addition, rising disposable income in urban areas is likely to fuel the market's growth rate.

Asia Pacific is one of the promising regions worldwide and is expected to showcase the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. The rapid increase in the geriatric population and growing healthcare expenditure are primarily contributing to the growth of the APAC biobanks market. In addition, the growth of the Asia Pacific market is driven by the rise in population and increasing healthcare spending from government bodies. As a result, the Asia Pacific region shows fierce competition with the developed areas.

Latin America is forecasted to have lucrative opportunities in the near future and is expected to grow at a healthy CAGR in the coming years.

The market in MEA is expected to improve the market share during the forecast period. The increasing geriatric population, advancing technologies, and improving healthcare expenditure are anticipated to propel market growth in this region.
