North America is estimated to contribute 39% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.
The major factor that is accelerating the growth of the regional market is the presence of important companies such as Thermo Fisher Scientific. These companies are increasingly investing in new manufacturing facilities, which are highly equipped with the required bioprocessing units, and other necessary equipment required for cell culture. Furthermore, companies headquartered in other regions have been investing in the US to establish production sites. This will drive the regional market during the forecast period.
Research on stem cells and cancer is likely to propel the market growth due to an increase in the number of cancer cases. The increasing number of cancer cases is likely to trigger the need for cell-based therapies and vaccines. Additionally, the presence of sophisticated healthcare manufacturing facilities is likely to fuel demand. This will increase the product offerings by the companies and their visibility in the region, which in turn will increase the demand.
Advanced therapy medicinal products and viral vaccine production heavily rely on cell culture techniques, utilizing three-dimensional cell culture techniques and organoids in bioreactors, including Single-use bioreactors (SUBs), to meet the demands of biopharmaceutical development, enhancing vaccine production and drug discovery efforts while mitigating cross-contamination risk. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The market's expansion is driven by the significant potential in emerging regions, particularly India, China, and South Africa, where rapid growth in pharmaceutical and biotechnology infrastructure supports the development of advanced cell culture techniques and substrates for producing viral vaccines and advanced therapy medicinal products. Manufacturers are expanding production facilities in these regions to meet the demand for vaccine production and biopharmaceutical development, leveraging technologies such as three-dimensional cell culture techniques and bioreactors.
For instance, Thermo Fisher Scientific is actively pursuing opportunities in emerging markets like China and India to boost revenue, promoting the adoption of cell-based models and organoids for drug discovery efforts. These initiatives aim to address contagious virus outbreaks and enhance therapeutic and diagnostic tools, thus mitigating cross-contamination risks and meeting operating volume requirements in both single-use and multiple-use bioreactors.
A notable trend in the market is the increasing demand for monoclonal antibodies, which are identical immune cells. These antibodies have diverse applications in fields like biology, diagnostics, and medicine, addressing conditions such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, and cardiovascular disease. The rising demand for monoclonal antibodies is spurring the development of advanced production technologies.
With the prevalence of chronic diseases, the need for antibody treatments is on the rise. Leading manufacturers like Thermo Fisher Scientific are expanding their production facilities with multiple bioreactors. Thermo Fisher Scientific utilizes cutting-edge platforms, single-use methods, and rapid contamination tests for antibody production. This growing demand for monoclonal antibodies is expected to drive the market size by increasing the need for equipment and consumables.
The market faces a significant challenge due to the expensive nature of equipment, which comprises two key segments: consumables and equipment. In comparison, consumables are more cost-effective, while equipment, including CO2 incubators, bioreactors, cryostorage systems, and biosafety cabinets, entails substantial expenses. For example, a cryostorage freezer system for cell banking costs approximately USD 25,000, and a biosafety cabinet exceeds USD 9,000 in cost.
Equipment like CO2 incubators demands frequent cleaning after each incubation batch or procedure to prevent chamber contamination, which can adversely affect subsequent processes. These precision devices require meticulous attention, stable environmental conditions, and regular component maintenance, collectively increasing the total ownership costs. The high acquisition and maintenance costs may deter adoption rates, negatively impacting market growth in the forecasted period.
