Cell Culture Market by Equipment, by Reagent, by Application - Global Forecast to 2018

The report segments the cell culture market into two distinct market segments, namely, the cell culture equipment market and the cell culture media, sera, and reagents market. The segments of the cell culture equipment market included in this report are bio-safety cabinets, consumables, lab equipment, sterilization equipment, and storage equipment. The lab equipment segment consists of four subsegments, namely, cell counters, centrifuges, fermentors and bioreactors, and incubators. The storage equipment segment consists of two subsegments, namely, cryogenic storage and refrigerators and freezers.

The segments of the cell culture media, sera, and reagents market included in this report are contamination detection kits, cryoprotective agents, lab reagents, media, serum, and other reagents. The lab reagents segment consists of four subsegments, namely, balanced salt solutions, buffers and chemicals, cell dissociation reagents, and supplements and growth factors. The media segment consists of three subsegments, namely, basal media, reduced serum media, and serum-free media.

Cell culture has its applications in a large number of fields. On the basis of application, the report is segmented into biopharmaceutical production, cancer research, drug screening and development, gene therapy, tissue culture and engineering, toxicity testing, vaccine production, and other applications. The geographic segments included in this report are North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World.

The key drivers for this market are rapid increase in the demand for biopharmaceuticals and increased adoption of single-use technology. According to IMS Health, biopharmaceutical is expected to be the fastest growing pharmaceutical product segment by2017. Biopharmaceuticals are pharmaceutical products isolated from living organisms. Cell culture is one of the most important and widely used techniques for biopharmaceutical production. It was also the largest application segment of the cell culture market in 2013. Growth in the biopharmaceutical market will drive the growth of the cell culture market.

A combination of bottom-up and top-down approaches were used to calculate the market sizes and growth rates of the global cell culture market and its subsegments. Secondary information was used to identify the overall revenues, geographic reach, and product portfolios of the market players. Estimates of their cell culture segment revenues were validated through primary interviews. Primary interviews with key opinion leaders were also used to determine percentage shares of each subsegment and the relative differences in the growth rates.

The report provides qualitative insights about key market shares, growth rates, and market drivers for all important subsegments.
