BURNABY, Canada, October 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

Growing presence of stem cells research centers, increasing consumer awareness and rising medical tourism is driving Indian stem cells market  

According to recently published Pharmaion report, "India Stem Cells Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2020", stem cells market in India is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of over 28% over 2015 - 2020. Growth in the market is anticipated on account of increasing investments from the government as well as various private organizations, growing industry focus on stem cell research, and rising awareness about stem cell banking. Moreover, emergence of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells as an alternative to embryonic stem cells (ESCs), and evolution of new stem cell therapies are anticipated to boost growth in stem cells market in India over the next five years.

Being considered as the "building blocks of life", stem cells are capable of treating various diseases, such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, arthritis, blindness, stroke and heart diseases. Moreover, scientists across the country are working on techniques to further enhance the efficacy of stem cell therapy. For instance, menstrual stem cell technology is a budding trend, which is capable of growing heart muscles at a success rate of more than 100 times higher than the 0.2-0.3% for stem cells taken from bone marrow. These cells can revolutionise the way many diseases are being treated and transform the lives of millions of people across the country in the coming years.

On the basis of services offered, India stem cells market has been segmented into two categories, namely, stem cell banking and stem cell research. Stem cell research dominated the market in 2014, and is anticipated to continue its dominance during 2015 - 2020 on account of growing focus on commercialization of public and private research, rising number of stem cell research groups, and escalating cost for traditional drug development. In 2014, adult stem cells accounted for a majority share in the India stem cells market owing to a large number of research being carried out using adult stem cells. Region-wise, South India dominated the country's stem cells market in 2014.
