It
has been estimated that the global disease burden of chronic diseases would
increase to 57% by 2020, which was about 46% in 2001, as per the World Health
Organization. It is further predicted that chronic diseases would account for
three-quarters of all deaths globally by 2020.
Majority of the deaths related to chronic diseases are attributable to
cardiovascular diseases, and more cases of diabetes and obesity are being
observed. Risk factors such as obesity, high blood cholesterol, and high blood
pressure are common causes of four major chronic diseases: cancer,
cardiovascular diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and type 2
diabetes. Further, unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as tobacco smoking,
sedentary lifestyle, alcohol abuse, and poor nutrition, lead to the development
of such diseases. Therefore, with the increasing
burden of many life-threatening diseases, research activities for finding a
cure for these diseases as well as treatment using unconventional therapies,
such as organ transplantation, tissue grafting, regenerative medicine, are
witnessing a rise, thereby resulting in the high demand for biobanking methods
for the preservation and utilization of cord blood cells and stem cells.

Biobanking is used for various applications, such as regenerative medicine, clinical research, and life science & medical research. In the past, the highest demand for biobanking facilities was generated from the clinical research domain due to the requirement for specimens for establishing the safety and efficacy of medication and therapies.
The biobanking ecosystem includes software, consumables, services, and equipment. In 2014–2018, the highest demand was for the consumables, as they are required for analysis of each sample. Consumables are used for storage, analysis, and processing of the samples and specimens. Storage consumables are used for storing the samples; commonly utilized consumables are reagents, such as methanol, ethanol, and formaldehyde and storage units, such as vials and test tubes. Maxwell RSC tissue DNA kit, plasma or serum kits are used for analyzing samples. In fact, in the coming time, consumables are expected to continue generating the high demand due to their wide application in research activities.
