The growing occurrences of long-term health conditions are speculated to stimulate the expansion of the cell culture plate market in the future. Chronic diseases, which persist for over a year, necessitate continuous medical attention and can limit daily activities. Cell culture plates, which amalgamate various cell types within a self-regulated and unified system, play key roles in analyzing disease evolution, creating ideal environments for cell culture, examining innovative treatments, and gauging the effectiveness of drugs in research and development initiatives. For example, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare reported in June 2024 that the mortality rate linked to chronic conditions rose from 459 per 100,000 population in 2021 to 490 per 100,000 population in 2022. As such, the escalating incidences of chronic diseases are catalyzing the growth of the cell culture plate market.

The rise of product innovation is a noticeable trend in the cell culture plates market. Major players in this market are innovating product offerings in an attempt to solidify their market presence. For example, Porvair Sciences, a UK-based microplates and microplate instrumentation manufacturer, unveiled the Sero Krystal PDL-coated microplate in April 2022. This product enhances cell adhesion, growth, and proliferation in serum-free media for diverse cell types. Poly-d-lysine, a synthetic (non-animal) extracellular matrix often utilized in cell culture, is used to augment cell adhesion. The innovative Sero Krystal PDL microplates, accessible in 96- and 384-well configurations, feature an even coating of a 70–150 kDa PDL polymer using exclusive processes. This coating results in a uniform net positive charge on the plate well surface.
