The 2020 market for stem cells will be $8B, and 35-40% percent of that market will have direct orthopedic applications
Over the past 5 years, ~ 60,000 patients have been treated with either allograft or autologous stem cells in the US
Not one single patient has reported an adverse reaction to FDA, not one!
1 in 10 surgeons have tried or are intending to try to incorporate some form of therapeutic stem cells in their practice.
In 2009, allograft stem cell products were used in ~ 24,600 cases in the clinical setting. In 2010 it is estimated that number will increase to ~ 34,000.
By 2013, it is estimated the number of cases using mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) will exceed those using BMP – the original allograft therapeutic.
