Due to the large number of potential patients targeted by tissue engineering and organ regeneration products, and the major healthcare costs associated with existing treatments for these patients, the potential dollar volume for tissue engineering and organ regeneration products is great, with many applications representing multibillion-dollar opportunities. In the U.S. alone, the total potential market for all applications of tissue engineering and organ regeneration exceeds $85 billion. Although the current developing market is at a fraction of its potential, advances in our understanding of genetic and cellular information are expected to drive this market over the forecast period covered by this report.

This comprehensive new report by Medtech Insight and Windhover Information presents a detailed overview of the tissue engineering and cell transplantation market. Major topics covered by this report include an overview of tissue engineering and organ regeneration technologies, artificial organs, biomaterials, bone grafts, cell transplantation, gene therapy, nerve regeneration, stem cells, and tissue scaffolds. This report includes 12 company profiles and market analyses of tissue-engineered cardiac and vascular products, musculoskeletal products, neurologic products, urologic products, organ regeneration products, and skin replacements and substitutes.
