For instance, in January 2021, researchers developed a bioactive scaffold based on immobilized nerve growth factor (NGF) containing polycaprolactone/chitosan (PCL/CS) nanofibers for supporting nerve regeneration. This scaffold facilitated increased cell attachment and nerve cell growth.

The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries segment dominated the market for scaffold technology and accounted for the largest revenue share of46.7% in 2020. The growth in the segment is due to the extensive application of scaffold technology by these industries in tissue engineering fields including periodontal regeneration, cartilage development, bone formation, repair of nasal and auricular malformations, tendon repair, and heart valves.

biotechnology companies are also collaborating for the development of new synthetic scaffolds. For instance, in November 2020, the U.K. biotechnology companies including Manchester BIOGEL and Cellesce developed three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds that can accurately mimic the physiological environment, enabling the manufacturing and scale-up of patient-derived organoids. Hence, such funded initiatives for biotech companies for developing new scaffolds further boost the segment growth.

The hospitals and diagnostic centers segment is expected to witness a lucrative CAGR of 8.8% over the forecast period. The growth in the segment is owing to an increase in the number of grafting procedures and an increase in cases of road accidents and related injuries, all of which create a greater demand for biological scaffolds.

North America dominated the scaffold technology market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 40.6% in 2020 and is expected to continue its dominance during the forecast period.

In addition, companies in this region are launching new and innovative products for supporting the development of 3D cell culture, which can be further attributed to the region’s growth. For instance, in December 2020, eNuvio a Canada-based company launched a reusable 3D cell culture microplate. The unique geometry of the microplate helped in the generation of high reproducibility and enabledhigh-quality optical observation.

In AsiaPacific, the market for scaffold technology is expected to witness lucrative growth over the forecast period. The growth in the region can be attributed to the presence of government organizations that conducts regenerative medicine and stem cell research. For instance, in India, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Indian Council of Medical Research focus on stem cell research and regenerative medicine. Furthermore, the researches undertaken by National Centre for Cell Science in stem cell biology and other advanced therapy areas is expected to increase penetration of scaffold technology in the country.
