Microcarriers Market Led by the Americas
Microcarriers are sterile, ready-to-use systems which are used with bioreactors to expedite cell attachment and cell production methods. The global microcarriers market is expected to reach a market valuation of USD 1.18 Bn at a CAGR of 5.9% over the forecast period of 2018-2023, projects Market Research Future (MRFR) in an in-depth study.
Growing demand for cell-based vaccine is a key factor enhancing the growth of the global Microcarriers Market Growth. Cell culture techniques have gained widespread acceptance in the study of cell function, cell differentiation, and cell structure are vital tools in the production of biological materials such as vaccines, hormones, interferons, enzymes, antibodies, and nucleic acids. Microcarrier technology is extensively leveraged by research institutes and life science companies for various cell-based applications.
Microcarriers allow for convenient surface for the growth of adherent cells and facilitate increasing the yield of cells products. They are also applied to isolation of cells, studies on differentiation and cell function, harvesting mitotic cells, membrane studies and others. Advances in media formulation, improvement in processing technologies, and progress in cell characterization techniques have helped the global microcarriers market move ahead. Moreover, technological advancements in microcarriers has resulted in increased productivity which ultimately leads to decreased cost which is fostering the growth of the global microcarriers market.
Growing popularity of cell harvesting in drug development and stem cell therapy is expected to induce high demand within the microcarriers market. Availability of funds for R&D purveyed by funding from both public and private sector are other factors contributing to the growth of the market. However, stringent regulatory norms and restrictions on the production of high-density cell culture is likely to impede the growth of the global microcarriers market.
