DUBLIN, October 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Complete 2017-18 Global Cord Blood Banking Industry Report" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

The global cord blood banking industry has matured substantially over the past few years, creating both serious threats and novel opportunities.

Serious threats to the industry include:

• New accreditation requirements that have increased the cost structure of cord blood banks
• A decline in cord blood transplants, within the U.S. and other geographical regions
• Low rates of turnover for stored cord blood units
• Expensive cord blood transplantation procedures, costing from $200-300K each
• Difficulty with educating obstetricians about cellular therapies
• Poor press coverage in many regions worldwide, including major news outlets

Other uncontrollable factors that could threaten the industry include: new legislation, changes in transplant reimbursement, continually evolving accreditation requirements, the potential for competitive approaches to be shown as more optimal, patent challenges for processing or transplant technologies, changes in public perception of private vs. public banking, shift in policy recommendations by influential medical organizations, and changes in government support.

Marketing pressures are also impacting the industry, with the term cord blood becoming one of the 20 most expensive search terms on Google, reaching more than $20 per click for global search traffic and over $70 per click for U.S. search traffic.

However, there are also emerging opportunities, including:

• The potential to expand market size through increasing public awareness
• New clinical trial data supporting applications for hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from cord blood and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from cord tissue
• Improving public perception toward stem cell therapies
• Substantial deal-making within the industry, including mergers, acquisitions, and funding rounds
• The potential for cross-organizational collaboration through formation of Cord Blood Industry Associations (occurring in within U.S. and South America)
• A trend toward diversification within the industry, with cord blood banks effectively becoming stem cell banks through the storage of cord blood, cord tissue, and in some cases, placental tissue, amniotic fluid, and more

Within this rapidly evolving ecosystem, those who choose to commit to understanding current opportunities and threats will be positioned for a substantial strategic advantage.
