Additional contributing factors are the improvement in healthcare infrastructure, increased investments in life sciences research, and growth in biopharmaceutical manufacturing capabilities. Key trends anticipated in the forecast period encompass biotechnology advancements, the emergence of cell and gene therapies, the use of organ-on-a-chip technology for drug testing and toxicity screening, the implementation of animal-free and chemically-defined cell culture media formulas, along with the integration of innovative cell culture systems, microfluidics, and bioreactor technologies.
What Are the Critical Driver Fuelling The Cell Culture Media Market's Growth?
The expansion of pharmaceutical drug production is projected to spur growth in the cell culture media market. By definition, pharmaceutical drugs are substances or medications utilized to prevent, treat, or diagnose health conditions in humans or animals. The rise in the production of these drugs could be linked to the growing prevalence of chronic and infectious diseases, along with an increasing aged population that requires more medication to manage age-related diseases and illnesses. Cell culture media are crucial in providing the necessary nutrients and environment for cellular growth and maintenance used in pharmaceutical drug production, thus ensuring ideal cell growth and the production of desired therapeutic proteins or molecules. For example, the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA), a Belgium-based European trade group representing the pharmaceutical industry, reported that the total bio-pharmaceutical production in Europe totalled $384,200 million (€340,000 million) in 2022, demonstrating a growth of around 4.95% from $366,267 million (€323,950 million) in 2021 as of June 2023. Consequently, the rise in pharmaceutical drug production is fuelling the cell culture media market's expansion.
