Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are adult somatic cells reprogrammed to a pluripotent state, enabling them to differentiate into various cell types. iPSCs play a transformative role in regenerative medicine, disease modeling, drug screening, and personalized therapies. Their non-embryonic origin offers ethical advantages, spurring increased R&D investment globally.

The global induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) market was valued at USD 2.1 billion in 2023, growing at a CAGR of 9.6% from 2024 to 2033. The market is expected to reach USD 5.2 billion by 2033.
