Scaffold Technology Market Research, 2031
The global scaffold technology market size was valued at $1.02 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $5.09 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 18% from 2022 to 2031.Tissue engineering covers a wide range of application that repair or replaces the portion of damaged tissue. There are three components of tissue engineering such as stem cells, scaffold, and signalizing molecules. Scaffold is used for the growth and development of cells as well as provides mechanical strength to the cells.
Moreover, scaffold-based platforms in 3D cell culture are used to alter the cell culture procedure by providing a surface on which the cells can easily impart 3D growth. In scaffold technology, the cells are grown within extracellular matrix or synthetic materials. Cell adhesion, proliferation, and activation depend on scaffold material properties and scaffold characteristics. To accomplish the required mechanical function and rate of new-tissue formation, different characteristics, such as materials, degradation kinetic, and scaffold properties, should be altered to match the specific application. Pore distribution, porosity, and exposed surface area of the scaffold can influence the architecture of the extracellular matrix, penetration, rate of penetration of cells, and the final effectiveness of regenerative process.
The growth of the global scaffold technology market size is majorly driven by rise in demand for body reconstruction procedures and tissue engineering, increase in usage of biomaterials, and growth of technological advancement of scaffold technology. However, high costs associated with implementation and emergence of scaffold-free technology for cell culturing are expected to hamper the growth of the market. On the contrary, increase in expenditure on R&D by governments in developing countries has high growth potential in these countries.
