Cord Blood Banking Growth Being Driven by Education & Research
Supporters of cord blood banking received positive and unbiased support when the Transparency Market Research (TMR) firm produced an in-depth review of the industry. Their report dated July 12, 2016 summarized cord blood banking growth as a result of increased consumer awareness and governmental support.
Providers and proponents of cord blood banking services have worked diligently to educate the population on the value of cord blood. This education it turns out has been paying off.
Cord Blood Education
A growing stack of research is demonstrating the current and future potential for cord blood. You see, this cord blood contains very unique stem cells. These cells are used in regenerative medicine applications.
The collection and banking of cord blood is only possible at the time of birth. This makes proactive education critical.
Advances in medical research have also played a role in driving consumer awareness. TMR explains,
Not only is cord blood banking a public good, but having access to cord blood stem cells also increases the chances of the baby’s own successful recovery from various diseases at any point in its life. – Transparency Market Research
Contradiction in Cord Blood Banking Growth
Opponents of the industry express concern that some service providers oversell the benefits of stem cell therapies. The challenge here is that the sales strategies of a few bad apples have set a perception of the industry.
