The market is driven by the growing demand for biosimilar products and advancements in stem cell research, which requires high-quality consumables and equipment to support cell culture techniques and basic biology and biochemistry studies, serving as crucial components in model systems for bioproduction, drug screening, and addressing chronic diseases in the biopharmaceutical market. There are multiple factors influencing market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, market growth and trends, and challenges.
The rise in the prevalence of chronic and infectious diseases is driving growth in the market. Across the world, the incidence of infectious and chronic diseases is increasing significantly. The prevalence of numerous infectious diseases such as influenza, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is increasing worldwide. The instance of chronic diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, and neurological diseases, is also increasing across the world.
However, treating infectious and chronic diseases is a need for the development of new drugs, which led to the R&D of antiviral drugs, vaccines, and cell-based therapies by using cell culture methods. Several media and reagents are needed for the cell culture method. Hence, the rising prevalence of chronic and infectious diseases is promoting the demand for cell culture media and reagents, fueling the growth of the global Market during the forecast period.
The shift to serum-free cell culture media from serum-based media is a primary trend in the market. The purpose of recapitulating human disease environments such as cancer tumours, is because the cell cultures are often used in laboratories. However, the market is gradually witnessing a shift from serum-based supplements to serum-free supplements in cell culture media. Serum-free media increasingly benefit end-users by saving costs by eliminating the risk of infectious agents while supporting the growth of different types of cells.
Moreover, the protein concentrations are low in serum-free media, it is possible to purify target proteins quickly and easily through several steps by knowing their composition, which allows for easy control of interactions between cells and serum-free media. As serum-free media have several advantages over serum media and for ethical reasons, the market for serum-free media is increasingly being accepted.
The lack of skilled personnel is a major challenge in the market. The procedure for cell culture requires expert professionals like pharmacologists and cell culture scientists to resuspend cells from cold storage, prepare sterile media, cryopreserve cells, perform cell counting, and calculate the growth curve. Another factor driving down the number of students who are graduating in this field is a lack of quality training and courses about cell culture in emerging economies.
Moreover, in developed economies, the lack of basic skills among students on cell cultures, like maintenance of aseptic techniques, preparing media with the appropriate characteristics, passaging, freezing and storage, recovering frozen stocks, and counting viable cells, are leading to a shortage of skilled professionals. The lack of adequate knowledge and a limited number of such professionals to carry out cell cultures is hampering the growth of the market.
