The growth of this market can be attributed to growing investments and funding for research in the field of cell biology. The rising incidence of chronic diseases such as cancer is boosting the demand for advanced therapies such as tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. This trend is expected to drive the growth of the cell culture market in the coming years.
The biopharmaceutical production segment accounted for the largest share of the application segment in 2024.
In 2024, the biopharmaceutical production segment accounted for the largest share of the application segment in the global cell culture market. The biopharmaceutical production segment is further categorized into vaccine production, monoclonal antibody production, and other therapeutic protein production. The growing prevalence of infectious diseases is boosting the demand for biopharmaceuticals such as vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, and therapeutic proteins, which is promoting the growth of biopharmaceutical production in the cell culture market.
The sera, media, and reagents segment accounted for a major share of the consumables market in 2024.
The cell culture consumables market is categorized by type into sera, media, and reagents; vessels; and accessories. The sera, media, and reagents segment accounted for the largest share of the cell culture consumables market in 2024. The large share of this segment is attributed to the repeated bulk purchase and requirement for consumables in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. Research labs and production facilities often require large quantities of sera, media, reagents, vessels, and accessories to sustain continuous cell culture activities. This leads to frequent and substantial procurement for experimentation, testing, and manufacturing processes.
