Piribo: New Report Provides 4-Year Forecast of the World Market for Cell Culture

PRLog (Press Release) - May 10, 2009 -
Piribo, the online destination for business intelligence for the biotech and pharmaceutical industry, has added a new report offering an outlook of the cell culture world market for media, sera and reagents.

“Cell Culture: The World Market for Media, Sera and Reagents: 2nd Edition”, available at http://tinyurl.com/dltjvq highlights that cell culture is a major foundation of biopharmaceutical development, bioprocessing and manufacturing. As the biopharmaceutical market grows, so should interest in the cell culture products market. Biopharmaceutical products are developed from large, complex protein molecules, which require equally complex manufacturing methods and an array of analytical techniques. As growing cells for biopharmaceutical production is slow, expensive and complicated, optimising cell culture development is of paramount concern to companies developing biopharmaceuticals.

This 221-page report has focused on culture used in the research and production of biopharmaceuticals, analysing the world cell culture market and the major trends driving this market in three specific segments: media, sera and reagents. In addition to a thorough discussion of the technologies and techniques currently employed and emerging in the cell culture area, the report provides specific information on:

•   Market size, growth, and forecasts of the segments through 2013
•   Competitive market share by leading supplier as of 2008.
•   Estimated market share by media type (not available in other reports)
•   Key market drivers and restraints for suppliers, including discussions of biopharmaceutical pipelines, biomedical R&D directions, and the future of transgenic plant and animal production.
•   Review of the various expression systems (bacteria, yeast, insect, and mammal) and the biopharmaceutical product manufactured by these systems
•   Discussion of the preferences in media types vying for dominance in the market, including the following:
•   ADCF - animal derived component free media
•   CD - chemically defined media
•   CSFM - complete serum free medium
•   PF - protein free media
•   SF - serum free media
•   SFM - serum free medium
•   Major trends impacting the market stem cell research, cell culture-based vaccine production and generic biopharmaceuticals
•   Profiles of 27 leading suppliers and information about M&A activities since 2005.
