The cell culture plates market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $2.21 billion in 2024 to $2.31 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to biopharmaceutical research growth, increasing incidence of chronic diseases, advancements in cell biology, drug screening and toxicology studies, and academic and industrial research activities.
The cell culture plates market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.96 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rise of personalized medicine, expansion of stem cell research, biotechnology industry growth, shift towards 3d cell culture, automation and high-throughput screening. Major trends in the forecast period include increased use of coated and functionalized plates, focus on automation and robotics compatibility, incorporation of advanced materials, and emphasis on sustainable and biodegradable materials.
The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is anticipated to drive the growth of the cell culture plates market in the coming years. Chronic diseases are health issues that persist for a year or more, requiring ongoing medical attention and limiting daily activities. Cell culture plates facilitate the integration of various cell types into organized systems, aiding in the understanding of disease progression, optimizing cell culture conditions, testing new therapies, and evaluating drug efficacy in research and development. For example, in June 2024, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, a government agency in Australia, reported that the death rate linked to chronic conditions rose from 459 deaths per 100,000 population in 2021 to 490 deaths per 100,000 population in 2022. Thus, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is propelling the growth of the cell culture plate market.
The expanding biotechnology sector is expected to further enhance the growth of the cell culture plates market. The biotechnology sector is noted for its interdisciplinary approach, merging biology, chemistry, genetics, microbiology, and other scientific fields. Cell culture plates are essential tools in biotechnology, supporting various applications and promoting continual advancements and innovation. For instance, in May 2024, GOV.UK reported that in 2021/22, the UK experienced a gradual rise in life sciences businesses, totaling 7,910 sites, which represents a 1% increase from 2020/21. Significantly, the biopharmaceutical core sector was the industry leader in turnover, accounting for 43% of the total revenue generated by the life sciences sector during that time. Therefore, the growth of the biotechnology sector is driving the expansion of the cell culture plate market.
Product innovation has become a prominent and increasingly popular trend in the cell culture plates market, with major companies actively developing innovative products to bolster their market positions. A notable instance is Porvair Sciences, a UK-based manufacturer of microplates and microplate instrumentation, which, in April 2022, introduced the Sero Krystal PDL-coated microplate. This product is designed to enhance cell adhesion, growth, and proliferation in serum-free media across various cell types. The Sero Krystal PDL microplates, available in 96- and 384-well configurations, feature an even coating with a 70-150 kDa Poly-D-Lysine (PDL) polymer, achieved through unique processes. The coating creates a homogeneous net positive charge on the plate well surface, contributing to improved cell culture conditions.
Major players in the cell culture plate market are concentrating on creating advanced products like 3D Cell Culture Plates to strengthen their market position. These 3D cell culture plates address the demand for sophisticated, physiologically relevant models, making a significant impact on the cell culture plates market across various research and development applications. For example, in May 2024, TheWell Bioscience, a US-based biotechnology research firm, introduced VitroPrime Spread-Attach Plates. These plates are engineered for hydrogel-based 3D and 2D cell cultures, providing enhanced hydrogel spreading and adherence to facilitate cell attachment. They ensure uniform gel distribution, reduce edge effects, and promote rapid cell growth for high-throughput applications.
In June 2022, Bio-Techne Corporation, a US-based biotech firm, acquired Namocell Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition aims to bolster Bio-Techne's product range by incorporating Namocell's cutting-edge single-cell sorting technologies, thus enhancing capabilities in cell and gene therapy applications while leveraging Bio-Techne's established sales force and market presence for commercial synergies. Namocell Inc. is a US-based biotechnology research company that specializes in the development of fast and user-friendly single-cell sorting and dispensing platforms.
