COVID-19 Impact

 The Application in Sampling, Analysis, and Vaccine Creation Aid the Global Biobanks Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic had far-reaching health-care, economic, and societal consequences around the world. The health-care system in North America faced an immediate issue in estimating the demographics of COVID-19 impact. In the early stage of pandemic, biobanking activities in Canada were considered as non-essential health care services, but with the emergence of research operations, the disease-related studies were permitted and published. The US leveraged virtual care and remote monitoring strategy to assure patients of having full clinical support. Biobanking became a necessary service during pandemic facilitating quicker critical research operations. Global biobanks had to purchase extra personal protective equipment (PPE) kits to safeguard medical personnel from infection. Also, they communicated globally for the material required to collect and store specimens.

In Europe, biobanks proved to be extremely helpful to mitigate COVID-19 as they provided researchers with necessary samples to assess the conditions and create vaccines and therapies. Biobanks played a vital role during pandemic in research, sampling, and vaccination. It would have been impossible to make the genome of the SARS-CoV-2 virus accessible to the entire scientific community and produce vaccination in record time without samples collected from infected patients. Asia pacific biobanks market, which was plagued by ethical difficulties and infrastructure challenges, is likely to grow rapidly in future. The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) approved 16 bio-repositories to collect, store, and keep clinical samples from COVID infected patients.

Future Trends

Virtual Biobanks

A virtual repository provides data extracted and characterized from samples stored in traditional biobank.Virtual biobank’s database offers high-resolution images of samples and other characteristic data. These biobanks can be accessed via specialized software or a web portal. They allow access to recorded data formats negating the requirement of physical samples. Virtual biobanks, often used in bioinformatics, contains 2D and 3D microscopy datasets of valuable clinical biopsy specimens. This system has emerged as a practical option to improve sample visibility and access. Researchers can use virtual biobanks to identify products and services they need to simplify and manage critical phases of the biobanking process. Virtual system integration is likely to bolster the global biobanks market in future.

Drivers

Growing Funding and Genomic Research Activities for Studying Diseases

Genomic sequencing is rapidly transitioning into clinical practice and healthcare systems with an aid of substantial government investments. The national genomic-medicine initiatives are driving transformative changes in medical systems. The UK has announced world’s largest genome project as a part of 200 million public-private collaborations between charities and pharma. The project will fund researchers and industry to combine data and real-world evidence from UK health services. Boston, a Massachusetts-based company received a US$ 4.3 million in seed funding to partner with Veritas Genetics, a genome sequencing company. Biobank has been a significant resource for genomic research on infectious diseases and hosts. Data from biobanks help understand the etiology of multifactorial diseases caused by genetic mutations.

Rising Adoption of Regenerative Medicines

Regenerative therapies help induce the regeneration of cells, tissues, and organs to restore their functions. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) receives a large number of regenerative medicine applications for human clinical trials every year. Rapid advancements in regenerative medicines to bring out effective solutions for chronic conditions potentially drive the global biobanks market growth. Cell therapy is one of the fastest-growing segments of the regenerative medicine domain. Novartis Kymriah was the first cell therapy solution to treat B-cell acute leukemia. Biobank has been a major asset for regenerative medicines as it provides material for research, development, and therapy. Investing in biobanking can yield considerable cost recoveries to support regenerative medicines and tissue engineering program.

Restraints

High Cost of Automation

Expensive automation has been a major impediment to the growth of global biobanks market. The advanced features and functions have made biospecimen storage instruments high-priced. Also, since the cost of biobanking operations is not limited to automation, companies assess various factors influencing their overall financial stability. The total expenditure of automation include cost of purchasing equipment, other infrastructures, and process improvements as per demand. Automated systems can cost five to ten times the expenses of manual operations in the beginning. For completely maintained automation, the ten-year operating cost is expected to range between US$ 0.57 to 5.66 million. Research companies are paying more for the automation incorporation. Such highly expensive automated systems are likely to curtail the growth of global biobanks market.
