The rising prevalence of chronic diseases is increasing the demand for pharmaceutical products, which further increases the demand for cell culture media. As per the GLOBOCAN 2020, Asia accounted for the largest share (49.5%), followed by Europe (22.8%), North America (13.3%), Latin America and the Caribbean (7.6%), Africa (5.7%), and Oceania (1.3%). Moreover, according to the World Health Organization, approximately 50 million people diagnosed with epilepsy by February 2024, globally, which is the most common neurological disease across the globe. Furthermore, the Diabetes Atlas 2021 reported that the Western Pacific had 206 million, followed by Southeast Asia with 90 million, the Middle East and North Africa with 73 million, Europe with 61 million, North America and the Caribbean with 51 million, South and Central America with 32 million, and Africa with 24 million people with diabetes. Therefore, the high incidence of the above-mentioned diseases increases the demand for innovative drugs, which certainly leads to the R&D of products for such diseases, boosting the cell culture media market.
The Cell culture supplements Market segmentation, based on product type, includes media and supplements. The media segment held the majority share in the market in 2022. The media segment is further sub-segmented into basal media, complex media, and serum-free while the supplements segment is sub-segmented into fetal bovine serum (FBS), newborn calf serum, horse serum, and others. Cell culture media generally comprise an appropriate source of energy and compounds which regulate the cell cycle. Stem cell culture is used for stem cell research and drug discovery processes that include cancer research, drug testing and development, and regenerative and cell-based therapies. Serum-Free Media (SFM) helps researchers to grow a specific cell type in the culture media. The presence of serum in the media sometimes misinterprets in immunological studies. These media are specifically formulated to boost the culture of a single cell type, such as knockout Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) and knockout serum replacement. It is also used in the production of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). Thermo Fisher Scientific provides HyClone Products, such as CCM1q, PF-MAbq, and SFX-MAbq. CCM1 is serum-free media product in the market.
The Cell Culture Media Market segmentation, based on application, includes regenerative medicine, biopharmaceutical production, and research. The biopharmaceutical production segment dominated the market in 2022. Biopharmaceutical production is the production of biologics-based therapeutic drugs, including protein-based therapeutics, vaccines, gene therapies, and cell therapies. Cell cultures form the base for the Biopharmaceutical production of many large molecule-based drugs, vaccines, and cellular therapies where cell culture media is used.

The Cell Culture Media Market segmentation, based on cell type, includes animal cells, plant cells, and bacterial cells. The bacterial cells segment dominated the market in 2022. The bacterial cultures are used for recombinant protein expression, plasmid cloning and amplification, and bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) and cosmid cloning. Bacterial cells can be altered to uptake and incorporate exogenous genes and plasmids through transformation.
By Region, the study segments the market into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World. The North America cell culture suppliments market accounted for the largest market share in 2022. North America is attributed to the presence of major manufacturers, the increasing prevalence of diseases leading to the high demand for drugs and other medications, technological advancements in the preclinical and clinical segment, increasing awareness among the population, and high disposable income. The American Cancer Society, Inc. stated that 1.9 million new cancer cases were diagnosed and 609,360 cancer deaths in the US. Thus, this increasing patient pool will enhance market growth during the forecast period.
Further, the major countries will be study are US, Canada, Germany, France, UK, Italy, Spain, China, Japan, India, Australia, South Korea, and Brazil.
