Abstract
Executive Summary:
BIO-Informant' s latest market report, "Stem Cell Research Products:
Opportunities, Tools & Technologies" was produced using a detailed end-user
survey of research scientists, in which over 400 stem cell researchers from
the U.S., Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia and other international regions
participated. The findings represent perspectives across a global audience of
researchers. As a technology company, BIO-Informant also used proprietary
data-derivation techniques to quantify and assess critical trends in the stem
cells marketplace. Since 2001, funding for research on embryonic stem cells
has been extremely limited. However, on March 9, 2009, President Obama
overturned the order signed by President Bush in 2001 that barred the NIH from
funding research on embryonic stem cells beyond using 60 cell lines that
existed at that time. This dramatic policy change represents a major
opportunity for life science suppliers.
Featured elements of this report include:
- What are novel stem cells research products that can be developed?
- What stem cells types are most frequently used by research scientists?
- Which species of stem cells do scientists prefer and what are the factors
driving this preference (access, pricing, funding, handling advantages)?
- What are the most frequently used stem cell markers?
- What are the most common research applications, and how do they differ by
segment (academic, industrial, and government)?
- Who are the leading suppliers of stem cell products?
- What stem cell product categories are already available in the marketplace?
- What are current grant, patent, and scientific publication rate trends?
- What are the major funding sources, trends, and dollar values, for
domestic and international researchers?
- What is the size of the stem cell research products marketplace and how
fast is it growing?
- What are communication strategies for accessing the marketplace?
- And much more...
In summary, the report provides detailed insight into the stem cells research
products marketplace and the needs of stem cell scientists.
