New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/11/2014 -- Cell culture is a process of removing cells from plant or animal and successive growth in an artificial and controlled environment. Cell culture is a major tool used in molecular and cellular biology. It is mainly of two types - primary cell culture and secondary cell culture.

In the cell culture process, cells may be derived from eukaryote like animals, from plants, such as fungi, from insects and microbes, such as viruses and bacteria, in the laboratory. Cell culture is used in studying normal biochemistry and physiology of cell, drug screening and development, mutagenesis, genetic engineering, manufacturing of biological compounds and carcinogenesis. Cell culture is a very complex process and need ideal condition of humidity, gaseous atmosphere and temperature to grow cells in accurate manner. In the pharmaceutical industry, cell culture is a major foundation for biopharmaceutical product development, bioprocessing and manufacturing. Some of the major application areas of cell culture are biotechnology, medicine, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, toxicity testing, microbiology, cancer research, cosmetics and food additives.

North America dominates the global cell culture market, due to presence of large number of market players and high healthcare expenditure. Asia-Pacific is expected to show high growth rate in the next five years in cell culture market. Some of the factors driving the growth in emerging markets are increasing outsourcing of biopharmaceutical products and lower operating cost as compare to developed markets such as the U.S.

In recent times there is increased use of cell culture due to rapid growth of biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industries. Increasing demand for biopharmaceuticals products, increasing drug discovery and evaluation, rising healthcare expenditure, growing demand for advanced biologics and increasing demand for automated cell culture process and systems are some of the drivers for global cell culture market. However, use of transgenic animals and plants, limitations of 2D culture, ethical concern over use of animal sources and increasing emphasis on efficiency and cost reduction in research and development are some of the factors inhibiting the growth for global cell culture market.

Increasing risk of various diseases and use of cell culture model system are some of the major opportunities for global cell culture market. However, complex structure of biopharmaceutical molecule and higher manufacturing cost are some of the challenges for global cell culture market. 3D cell culture technologies are recent trend for global cell culture market. Some of the major companies operating in global cell culture market are Corning Inc., Lonza Group, Merck, BD Biosciences, Eppendorf, Promocell, EMD Millipore, GE Healthcare, Becton, Dickinson and Company, Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, Sartorius and Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.
