Allogeneic human chondrocyte is an emerging therapy, which can be used for cartilage repair and other indications. Currently, very few market players are developing these therapies, wherein the studies are in clinical trial phase and are expected to soon receive approval from the regulatory agencies. For instance, Invossa, from Kolon TissueGene, Inc., is expected to be the world’s first cell-and-gene therapy for osteoarthritis. This therapy is going to be a cartilage cells extracted from human cartilage (first fluid of HC) and transformed cells with TGF-β1 (second fluid of TC) by the ratio of 3:1. The product is currently in phase 3 clinical trial phase. This is expected to create lucrative opportunity for players to develop such therapies in the near future.
The Europe allogeneic human chondrocyte market is expected to be valued at US$ 3,440.5 million in 2027 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 10.2% during the forecast period (2020-2027).

Europe Allogeneic Human Chondrocyte Market Restraints:
As the research for human allogeneic chondrocyte is ongoing and products are majorly in the development phase, the research cost and procedures are considerably high and tedious, which can affect the development of such products and is expected to hinder growth of the market.
Moreover, the disadvantages of allogeneic transplantation as compared to autologous transplantation is expected to limit the adoption of allogeneic transplantation, thereby hindering the Europe allogeneic human chondrocyte market growth.
Key Players
Major players operating in the Europe allogeneic human chondrocyte market include Kolon TissueGene, Inc. and ISTO Technologies Inc.
Allogeneic human chondrocyte cell therapy is anticipated to be a good alternative to autologous chondrocyte implantation in the near future. Increasing product approvals by regulatory authorities is expected to fuel the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in July 2017, Kolon TissueGene, Inc. received the South Korea Ministry of Food & Drug Safety (MFDS) for Invossa-K Inj. The product is currently available in the South Korean market and is marketed by Mundipharma and Kolon Pharmaceuticals.
Market Dynamics
Most of the pharmaceutical manufacturers operating in the Europe allogeneic human chondrocyte market are engaged in adoption of inorganic growth strategies such as collaborations, partnerships, and agreements to strengthen their market presence and expand its geographical footprint. In June, Kolon TissueGene, Inc., a manufacturer and developer of advanced cell and gene therapies, announced the extension of license agreement with Kolon Life Science, Inc., for the sales of Invossa-K Inj, a cell and gene therapy for knee osteoarthritis. The agreement is expected to expand the geographical footprint of Kolon Life Science, Inc. in the Middle East region with the grant of license for Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates (UAE) by the year 2024.
