Tissue Banking Market

Global Tissue Banking Market Size

The size of the global tissue banking market was worth USD 1.33 billion in 2024. The global market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 7.76% from 2025 to 2033 and be worth USD 2.61 billion by 2033 from USD 1.43 billion in 2025.

A tissue bank is an organization that provides retrieval, selection, processing, distribution, and storage of donor allograft tissue. For possible therapeutic purposes, the procedure for collecting, processing, and storing transplantable human tissue is called a tissue bank. Depending on the tissue type, these tissues can be retrieved from living and deceased donors for allogeneic or autologous use.

MARKET DRIVERS

The growing prevalence of chronic diseases, which, in turn, are driving ever-increasing drug discovery and development advances, is propelling the tissue banking market growth.

In addition, there has been an increase in government initiatives and a growing demand for transplants due to more transplant-related disorders. Technological advancements in medical research, clinical trials, biopharmaceuticals, and treating cellular and tissue disorders have also been made.

The growing use of advanced tissue banking methodology is expected to drive market growth.

Cryopreservation research focuses on preserving whole organs for long-term storage and viability, the success of which could be a significant medical breakthrough. Cryopreservation of tissues and organs without damaging them requires delicate handling using the principles of thermodynamics. Currently, organs such as the heart, liver, and pancreas can survive for a few hours outside the body. This technique can potentially extend this timeframe to days or even longer, thereby driving the market.

Additionally, advancements in regenerative medicine, biobanks, drug discovery, and increasing investments from governments, non-governmental organizations, and corporations are expected to drive the market. Recently, the emerging trend of cosmetic surgeries due to disposable income inflation and people's growing awareness of physical appearance is driving the market.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

Tissue stability, injury and thawing issues, regulatory hurdles, reimbursement issues and ethical issues are the major factors restraining the global tissue banking market.

The high costs involved with tissue banking also slow the expansion rate. The market for tissue banking is anticipated to face difficulties due to a shortage of skilled workers and a lack of healthcare infrastructure in developing nations. The operation of the tissue bank is a sophisticated system that needs a lot of specialized and qualified personnel for its proper functioning in a dedicated facility. Minor errors in the established protocol can result in the loss of expensive tissue, harm recipients, and increase the risk of transmission of tumors and life-threatening diseases. Insufficient and scarcity of tissue availability is also a significant factor hindering the growth of the tissue banking market.
