The cryopreservation equipment market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $11.01 billion in 2025 to $12.74 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to limited availability of ultra-low temperature freezers, reliance on manual sample preparation methods, growing stem cell banking activities, increasing research in regenerative medicine, adoption of standard cryogenic safety protocols.
The cryopreservation equipment market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $22.53 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to technological advancements in automated freezing and thawing systems, rising investment in biobanking and stem cell research, growing demand for embryo and oocyte preservation, increased regulatory compliance and quality certifications, integration of smart monitoring and IoT-enabled cryogenic devices. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for ultra-low temperature freezers and cryogenic equipment, increased adoption of automated sample preparation systems, expansion of stem cell and embryo preservation applications, growth in temperature monitoring and safety compliance solutions, enhanced focus on portable and modular cryopreservation equipment.
The increasing demand for regenerative medicines is expected to propel the growth of the cryopreservation equipment market going forward. Regenerative medicines refer to therapies that repair, replace, or regenerate damaged tissues or organs to restore normal function. The rise in demand for regenerative medicines is driven by their potential to restore damaged tissues, offering long-term solutions and reducing the need for repeated treatments. Cryopreservation equipment supports regenerative medicines by enabling the long-term storage of cells, tissues, and other biological materials without compromising their viability or therapeutic potential. For instance, in January 2025, according to the catapult, a UK-based biotechnology company, clinical trials, including gene therapies, cell therapies, and tissue-engineered products, in 2024 accounted for 9.5% of global trials and nearly 50% of all European trials. These clinical trials support the expansion of regenerative medicine. Therefore, the increasing demand for regenerative medicines is driving the cryopreservation equipment market.
Major companies operating in the cryopreservation equipment market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as one-stop hubs for cell and gene therapy, to streamline the preservation, storage, and transport of biological materials, enhance process efficiency, and support the rapid commercialization of advanced therapies. One-stop hubs for cell and gene therapy refer to integrated facilities that provide comprehensive services from processing and cryopreservation to storage and distribution within a single location. For instance, in October 2024, Cryoport Inc., a US-based temperature-controlled supply chain solutions provider for life sciences, launched its IntegriCell cryopreservation services. The service is offered through Cryoport Systems at a newly opened, advanced facility on its Houston supply chain campus.
