INTRODUCTION

STUDY OBJECTIVES

BCC’s goal in conducting this study is to provide an overview of the current and future characteristics of the global market for media, sera, and reagents used in biotechnology. The key objective is to present a comprehensive analysis of the current market and its future direction for the next 5 years.

The improvisation of the market, the setbacks, and the needs of the market are discussed in this report. The types of cell culture and the products from cell culture technology are also portrayed. Also covered are the advantages and disadvantages of the use of various types of media.

A detailed analysis of the structure of the cell culture industry has been conducted. This includes the biotechnology reagents, media, and the sera used. Revenues are broken down by region. Sales figures are estimated for the 5-year period from 2010 through 2015.

Applications for the cell culture industry—media, sera, and reagents used in biotechnology—are also discussed separately, with an emphasis on the usage in the research, production, and contract segments. This report also covers significant patents and their allotments in each category.

REASONS FOR DOING THIS STUDY

Demand for cell culture products, namely, media, sera, and reagents, is increasing with the increasing demand for biopharmaceuticals. Cell culture, a crucial component of the life-sciences industry has witnessed major developments in the past three decades. Research and development (R&D) spending, along with increasing competition, patent expiries, new technologies, and an international marketplace are pointing this market in a new direction. During the evolution of cell culture technologies, a number of disciplines, such as cell biology, genetic engineering, protein chemistry, genomics and chemical engineering, have been successfully incorporated into the cell culture field.

Acquisition strategies and collaborations by companies are also covered in this report. This study also discusses the strength and weaknesses of types of media used in light of the new technologies, growing competition, and changing customer needs.

INTENDED AUDIENCE

This study contributes to the areas of market growth in the cell culture industry from the point of view of manufacturers and users. Biotechnological companies, physicians, the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries, hospitals, and research institutes will find this study to be of interest.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The scope of this study encompasses the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and medical markets. BCC analyzes each market and its applications by its need for development of new medications through cell culture techniques, regulatory environment, technology involved, market projections, and market share. Technological issues include the latest trends and developments.

METHODOLOGY

Both primary and secondary research methodologies were used in preparing this market research report. BCC conducted a comprehensive search of the literature, which included technical newsletters and journals, and many other sources. Data were collected through interviews and correspondence with various analytical/chemical/pharmaceutical/biotechnical experts. Projections were based on estimates such as the current number of end users, potential end users, mergers and acquisitions, and market trends.

INFORMATION SOURCES

Many companies within the industry were contacted to obtain data for this study. Included were manufacturers and end users of biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies through their production, research, and contract manufacturing/research lines. Data were gathered from various industry sources. BCC spoke with officials and physicians within the industry, consulted newsletters, company literature, product literature, and a host of technical articles, journals, indexes, and abstracts. Exhaustive investigations of databases by key terminology were completed. In addition, data were compiled from current financial, trade, and government sources.
