Growth Factors (Blood and Tissue): A Global Strategic Business Report
San Jose, California (PRWEB) June 16, 2014
Follow us on LinkedIn – Fuelled by the growing importance of accurate and cost-effective therapeutic solutions for the treatment of complex diseases, the market for growth factors (blood and tissue) is expected to witness significant gains in the coming years. In a world where there are no approved treatments for a wide range of diseases, growth factor (blood and tissue) based drugs are emerging as promising and cost-effective therapeutic solutions to address the unmet medical needs of the world’s burgeoning population. Growth factors hold promising applications in chemotherapy-associated anemia, wound healing, and prevention of neurodegenerative diseases. Growth factors also find use as potential therapeutic agents for critical conditions such as granulocytopenia, leukemia, aplastic anemia, bone marrow transplantation, and myelodysplastic syndrome. The development of therapies based on growth factors is expected to address critical medical issues that currently lack effective treatments such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Despite the opportunities for growth, patent expiries of major biologic drugs, influx of biosimilars and safety and efficacy issues of erythrocyte stimulating agents (ESAs) will challenge growth in the market.
As stated by the new market research report on Growth Factors (Blood and Tissue), the United States represents the largest market worldwide. Asia-Pacific ranks as the fastest growing market with a CAGR of 23% over the analysis period. Rising incidence of diseases such as chronic kidney disease and the ensuing increase in dialysis patient population is expected to enhance demand for growth factor-based drugs. Growth will also be driven by increased focus on biotechnology research, increased spending on healthcare services, and governmental funding for healthcare infrastructure development.
Blood growth factors, comprising Erythropoietins, Colony stimulating factors, Interferons, and Interleukins, are gaining popularity led by the emergence of several new therapeutic applications, such as the use of colony stimulating factors in neutropenia prevention and treatment. In the coming years, the market for Interferons is expected to benefit from the rising demand for specialized treatment for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, leukemia, sclerosis, renal cell carcinoma, and other diseases. Sustained R&D efforts in this space and growing awareness about interferon treatment will benefit growth in the market. However, patent expiry of interferon drugs, and high cost of interferon-based therapeutics and research operations will act as deterrents to growth. Tissue growth factors show promising potential in wound healing, treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, and growth of musculoskeletal tissues. Interferons will be a strong area of focus worldwide due to its growing importance in the treatment of Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C infections.
