Biopharmaceutical production led applications in 2025, while sera, media and reagents dominated consumables. Asia-Pacific is expected to record the fastest growth through 2031. Key players include Thermo Fisher Scientific, Danaher, Sartorius, Merck and Corning.
Dublin, July 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Cell Culture Market by Consumables, Vessels, Equipment, Application, Competition – Global Forecast to 2031” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The global cell culture market is projected to reach USD 58.42 billion by 2031, rising from an estimated USD 33.07 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate of 12.1% during the forecast period. Increasing investment and funding for cell biology research, the rising incidence of chronic diseases such as cancer, and growing demand for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine are expected to support sustained market expansion.
Additional growth factors include increasing demand for serum-free and animal component-free media, the expanding use of monoclonal antibodies and biosimilars, wider adoption of single-use technologies, and continued development of advanced therapy medicinal products. Cell and gene therapy activity, vaccine manufacturing, and next-generation therapeutic research are also increasing demand for cell culture equipment, consumables, and advanced bioprocessing solutions.
Biopharmaceutical Production Leads the Application Segment
Biopharmaceutical production accounted for the largest share of the global cell culture market by application in 2025. This segment encompasses vaccine production, monoclonal antibody production, and other therapeutic protein production. The growing prevalence of infectious diseases is increasing demand for vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, and therapeutic proteins, strengthening the role of cell culture technologies across research, process development, and commercial manufacturing.
Other applications covered by the market include diagnostics, drug screening and development, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, cell and gene therapy, and additional research and manufacturing applications.
Sera, Media, and Reagents Dominate Cell Culture Consumables
The sera, media, and reagents category represented the largest share of the cell culture consumables market in 2025. Its market position reflects recurring bulk procurement by biotechnology companies, pharmaceutical manufacturers, research laboratories, and production facilities. Continuous experimentation, testing, process development, and manufacturing require regular purchases of media, reagents, sera, culture vessels, accessories, and related consumables.
