The cell culture market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $25.14 billion in 2023 to $28.16 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.0%. The growth observed in the past is primarily due to heightened demand for biopharmaceutical research, expansion in regenerative medicine, vaccine development, increased market demand for vaccines, a surge in chronic diseases, and amplified government funding allocated to research and development initiatives.

The cell culture market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $40.3 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The anticipated growth in the upcoming period can be linked to infectious disease research, increasing demand for biologics, research focused on rare diseases, the upsurge in personalized medicine, advancements in advanced therapies, cell-based assays, and the demand for stem cell therapies. Key trends expected in this period include advancements in cell culture technology, 3D cell culture, organoid culture, bioprocess automation, single-use bioreactors, cultured meat, drug screening and toxicity testing, artificial intelligence and machine learning, cell culture in space, and bioprinting.

The growing prevalence of chronic diseases is fueling the expansion of the cell culture consumables and equipment market. Chronic conditions like cancer, diabetes, heart diseases, obesity, and hypertension are on the rise, with some being linked to cell loss or damage. These diseases can potentially be treated by replacing damaged cells with new ones generated using cell culture consumables and equipment. Hence, the increasing occurrence of chronic diseases has created a heightened demand for such equipment that can facilitate the production of new cells outside the body's natural environment, thereby boosting market growth. For instance, as of September 2023, the World Health Organization reported that chronic diseases account for 74% of all global deaths, claiming the lives of 41 million people annually.

The primary categories within the cell culture consumables and equipment market encompass consumables and instruments. Cell culture instruments consist of various equipment used in cell culture laboratories, including cell culture vessels, bioreactors, biosafety cabinets, carbon dioxide incubators, and centrifuges. Consumables comprise essential supplies like media, sera, and reagents. These products find applications in a wide range of fields, including vaccination, toxicity testing, cancer research, drug screening and development, recombinant products, stem cell technology, regenerative medicine, among others. These tools cater to a diverse set of end-users, spanning industrial, biotechnology, agriculture, and more.

Augmented financial support for cancer research is anticipated to drive the growth of the cell culture consumables and equipment market in the upcoming period. Financial backing, particularly from government bodies like the National Cancer Institute, greatly influences the progress, evolution, and accessibility of cell culture consumables and equipment. For instance, in fiscal year 2023, the United States Congress allotted $7.3 billion to the National Cancer Institute, signifying an upsurge of $408 million from the previous year. As a result, the increased funding for cancer research is a significant driver for the growth of the cell culture consumables and equipment market.

The leading hindrance to the growth of the cell culture consumables and equipment market is the prevalence of contamination within cell cultures. This contamination involves the presence of detrimental foreign microorganisms or non-living elements that negatively affect the cell culture. The usage of contaminated cultures brings adverse effects, thereby limiting the expansion of this market. For example, as per an article published on MedCrave, Mycoplasma, one of the toughest contaminants to detect, showed a significant presence in a study conducted on fibroblast and keratinocyte cell lines. Out of the contaminated cultures, 32.35% had various types of contamination, with mycoplasma contamination accounting for 17.65%, followed by fungal (8.82%) and bacterial (5.88%) contaminants. Consequently, the substantial risk involved in cell culture practices poses a challenge to the growth of the cell culture consumables and equipment market.

Investments in 3D cell culture consumables and equipment are on the rise due to the introduction of novel and advantageous features. 3D cell culture involves the cultivation of live cells using micro-assembled devices and supportive structures, enabling the creation of a three-dimensional framework that emulates artificial environments of tissues or organs. This technique facilitates interactions of cells in all three dimensions, resulting in a higher degree of structural complexity compared to traditional 2D cell cultures. In August 2021, Amerigo Scientific, a US-based manufacturer of biomedical and life sciences products, unveiled specialized 3D cell culture solutions tailored for research purposes.

Key companies within the cell culture consumables and equipment sector are intensifying their focus on the introduction of coated microplates to gain a competitive advantage in the market. Coated microplates constitute a category of laboratory equipment utilized across various biological and chemical assays. These plates are commonly composed of plastic or glass and are coated with a range of materials, including proteins, antibodies, antigens, enzymes, or chemical compounds. For instance, in April 2022, Porvair Sciences Limited, a UK-based producer of analytical laboratory instruments, launched a new line of microplates named Sero Krystal PDL. These microplates are uniquely designed to support cell growth, attachment, and viability in serum-free media. Utilizing Poly-D-Lysine (PDL), a synthetic peptide that enhances cell attachment and growth, and constructed from ultra-pure polystyrene in a controlled environment, the Sero Krystal PDL microplates facilitate consistent cell culture, particularly with challenging cell types. Their applications span various uses, including cell-based assays, high-throughput screening, and drug discovery.

In July 2021, Sartorius, a laboratory instrument manufacturer headquartered in Germany, completed the acquisition of Xell AG for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition was aimed at broadening Sartorius' existing range of media products and expanding their cell culture product line. Xell AG, based in Germany, specializes in cell culture.
