Scaffold Technology Market Worth $1.94 Billion By 2027

The global scaffold technology market size is expected to reach USD 1.94 billion by 2027, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is expected to expand at a CAGR of 9.05% from 2020 to 2027. Constant technological advancements in scaffold technology, such as the advent of micropatterned surface microplates and nanofiber-based scaffolds, to facilitate wound repair and soft tissue repair applications boost the revenue generation in the market. A recently developed next-generation injectable microporous scaffold enables organ-on-a-chip technology for the enhancement of in vivo wound healing procedures.

The commercial success of 3D cell culture over the 2D culture system for histological analysis and drug screening purposes has provided lucrative growth avenues for scaffold technology used during 3D cell culturing. This technology minimizes the usage of animal models as it reiterates tissue architectures, thus providing physiologically relevant cellular models for disease investigation.

The broadening horizon of scaffold technology in drug development procedures fuels the market progression. The continual attrition rate in drug development caused due to the inability of monolayer cell culture paves a path for the adoption of scaffold-based cultures that efficiently mimic the disease-causing microenvironment. The rise in demand for novel scaffold-based cultures also reduces the loss of enormous costs involved in the failure of drug development.

The use of biomatrix with incorporated nanoparticles for drug delivery and tissue repair is expected to have a high success rate in the near future. The stem cell therapy, regenerative medicine, and tissue engineering application dominated the market in 2019. The combination of biomaterials and stem cells is an emerging concept useful in cell delivery and tissue construction, which positively impacts the revenue generation in this application. In addition, the presence of supportive organizations, such as the International Society for Stem Cell Research, boosts the demand for 3D scaffolds in this application.

For instance, in May 2019, InVivo Therapeutics introduced a new trial for its neuro-spinal scaffold device, INSPIRE 2.0 study, which widened the scope of a biodegradable device in the treatment of thoracic spinal cord injury. A rise in the number of drug approvals and growth in R&D funding prompt the biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies to widely employ 3D culturing techniques. These techniques act as a robust tool in toxicology and metabolic profiling of drug moieties during the drug development processes.

Asia Pacific is anticipated to expand at the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. Tianjin Municipal Science and Technology Commission and Administrative Commission of the Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area are China-based funding bodies that boost cell-based research projects in China. For instance, in October 2019, Corning launched Elplasia and Matrigel matrix for organoid culture to support organoid and spheroid culture models, thereby expanding its cell culture portfolio.

Soil Conditioner Market Size Worth $7.9 Billion By 2025

The global soil conditioners market size is projected to reach USD 7.9 billion by 2025, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.7% according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The declining soil quality due to natural calamities and increased industrialization is anticipated to drive the market over the forecast period.

Natural or organic products dominated the consumption of these conditioners globally. Increasing awareness about organic farming has led to an increase in demand for natural conditioners. The rising trend of consuming organic fresh food has shifted the inclination of farmers toward natural conditioners. Cereals and grains also require soil with rich moisture content at the time of sowing, thus, demanding appropriate conditioners.

Farmers, who are the end users of conditioners for soil, belong to low-income group. This factor majorly contributes to the market being price-sensitive. Moreover, prices of the product are highly controlled by manufacturers and may experience minor inflations or deflations due to constant demand and fluctuating raw material availability.

Central & South America market is anticipated to witness moderate growth rate over the forecast period. This can be attributed to the presence of extremely fertile lands in some parts of Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Chile, as these lands require less amount of conditioners. A majority area of Central & South America region has a tropical climate, suitable for growing a variety of fruits such as papaya, pineapple, avocado, and guava. Cocoa and coffee are the two major cash crops that largely influence the region’s economy. Most of the region’s land is covered with clay soil, which is alkaline and has a significant demand for minerals such as sulfur and iron.
