Cord Blood Banking Industry Opportunities Growth 2013

This report is available at a flat 25% Discount on all license types till April 30, 2013. Listed above are original prices and the discount is applicable on the same.

The cord blood banking industry is one of the fastest growing industries in the world. There were only 23 active cord blood banks as of 2005, and now there are 485 worldwide. Cord blood banks now exist in nearly every developed country, as well as within most developing nations. That is a 21-fold increase (2,100%) in the companies involved in the industry, over only a seven year period. This rapid market growth represents both an opportunity to profit, as well as swarming competition.

BioInformant’s recently launched industry report "Capitalizing on Opportunities in Cord Blood Industry Growth" addresses this issue by strategically positioning cord blood banks to expand, profit, and outmaneuver the competition.

The report also reveals strategies for dominating the global cord blood banking industry, including tactics for global expansion, patterns in regional dominance, and methods for investing in the sector. A distinctive feature is a global survey of expectant parents who reveal their deepest fears, core expectations, and critical factors influencing buying decisions. It is designed to guide the decision-making of cord blood banks worldwide, as well as to advise private, corporate, and institutional investors entering into the global cord blood banking market.

It differs from "The Complete U.S. 2012-13 Cord Blood Banking Industry Report," in that it is a strategic overview of how to profit from the global cord blood banking market, rather than from the U.S. markets alone.

Critically, it also explores strategies of fast-growth companies and compares their attributes to slow-growth companies, providing a comprehensive road-map to industry dominance. To guide industry competitors, this section considers the following questions:

·         What factors are causing a substantial number of new cord blood banks to open up business?

·         What will be the effect of these new entrants to the cord blood banking industry?

·         How can existing competitors maintain a position of dominance among this trend?

The third and final part of the report, titled “Comprehensive Parent Survey - Continuing to Grow by Listening to Expectant Parents,” contains survey results from more than 200 parents worldwide.  Key findings from this survey include how to:

·         Strategically position cord blood and cord tissue services

·         Understand why expectant parents bank publicly, privately, or not at all

·         Communicate successfully with parents

·         Effectively educate parents

·         Prioritize an advertising budget

·         Sell more effectively

A Fast-Growth Industry, Driven by Medical Necessity and Consumer Demand

The field of cord blood banking is a fast-growth field, driven by medical necessity and consumer demand. It is a recent industry, as it was not until 1974 that it was first proposed that stem and progenitor cells were present in human cord blood and 1983 that umbilical cord blood was proposed as an alternative source of stem cells for transplant. In 1988, the first successful cord blood transplant occurred, but it was not until 1995 that the first private cord blood bank began operations.

Furthermore, it was not until 2009 that a Taiwanese company, HealthBanks Biotech Company, Ltd., begane the first private cord blood bank to offer umbilical cord tissue storage. HealthBaby, a Hong Kong based company subsequently launched the service in 2009, and another Hong Kong based company, Cryolife, also added the service in 2009. As such, Asia is recognized as the geographic region that pioneered umbilical cord tissue preservation as a private service, but it has since has rapidly spread around the world.

For instance, nine U.S. cord blood banks now offer cord tissue storage. While the first U.S. company to offer cord tissue storage was the Cord Blood Registry, who launched it in July of 2010, the number of U.S. cord blood banks offering cord tissue storage has since risen to nine. This represents an average of one new U.S. cord blood bank adding cord tissue storage every 3-4 months. Similar trends have been observed within Europe, to a slightly lesser extent, the Middle East.
