Cryopreservation Equipment Market is segmented By Application Type (Oocytes And Embryos, Sperm And Semen, Stem cells, Hepatocytes, Others), By End-User ( Fertility Centers, Hospitals, Others ), and By Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa) – Share, Size, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2023-2030.

[150 Pages Report] The Cryopreservation Equipment Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12% during the forecasting period (2023-2030). Cryopreservation is the process of freezing biological material at extreme temperatures. At these low temperatures, all biological activity stops including the biochemical reactions that lead to cell death and DNA degradation. This preservation method in theory makes it possible to store living cells as well as other biological material unchanged for centuries. The equipment which is designed to preserve the biological material is referred to as cryopreservation equipment. It commonly involves the preservation of sperms, plant seeds, embryos, and eggs other biological materials used for research purposes in future. Cryopreservation process involves cryopreservation solutions which comprise a high concentration of cryoprotectant agents. Cryoprotectants are used as they provide improved osmotic balance and dehydration during cooling.

Market Dynamics 

The global cryopreservation equipment is primarily driven by increasing demand for In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) process in recent years and is expected to remain same over the forecast period. According to U.S. Society of Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) in 2017, in United States, 1 million babies were born in the United States between 1987 and 2015 through the use of IVF procedures.

Increasing clinical and research studies in stem cell applications using cryopreservation equipment are boosting the global cryopreservation equipment over the forecast period. The advent of modern cryopreservation technology introduced the concept of harvesting and banking stem cells for future use. For instance, in 2018, the University of California reported that the first in utero stem cell transplant trial has led to the live birth of an infant that had been diagnosed in utero with alpha thalassemia, a blood disorder that is usually fatal for fetuses.

Technological advancements, increasing research in medical and pharmaceutical studies are fueling cryopreservation equipment over the forecast period.

However high cost of product development is restraining global cryopreservation equipment over the forecast period.

Market Segmentation 

Based on application type cryopreservation is segmented into Oocytes and embryos, sperm and semen, stem cells, hepatocytes, and others. Embryos segment held the highest share in 2018 and is anticipated to remain dominant over the forecast period due to the increasing number of IVF processes. According to European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology, in 2018, more than 8 million babies were born from IVF procedures since the world's first in 1978 and estimated that more than a half-million babies are now born each year from IVF procedures.

Stem cells accounted for the second-highest share due to increasing research development in stem cell studies. For instance, in 2018, STEMCELL Technologies, Canada’s largest biotechnology company announced a $45 million joint funding agreement between the Governments of Canada and British Columbia to help the company build a state-of-the-art advanced manufacturing facility. The funding agreement will accelerate the Vancouver company’s rapidly scaling business of providing cutting-edge reagents and tools to support life science researchers around the world working in the cell therapy and regenerative medicine fields.

Based on end-users global cryopreservation market is segmented into fertility centers, hospitals, research organizations. Fertility centers dominated the market in recent years and are expected to remain same over the forecast period.

Geographical Analysis 

The global cryopreservation equipment market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America and Middle East and Africa. 

North America held the highest market share in 2018 and is anticipated to remain same over the forecast period due to increasing number of IVF procedures, technological advancements due to increasing research and development studies. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2018, about 1 to 2 percent of all U.S. births annually are through IVF procedures which shows the significant usage of cryopreservation equipment.

Europe had the second largest market share in 2018 and remains to be dominant over the forecast period due to increasing number of embryo transfers. According to The International Embryo Transfer Society in 2017, in Europe, 128,277 animal embryos are transferred which is 20.37% of global embryo transformations.

Asia Pacific is registering fastest CAGR due to the increased number of suppliers and distributors in countries such as India, China, and Japan over the forecast period.
