The cell culture protein surface coating market size is estimated to be USD 956.85 million in 2022 and is expected to witness a CAGR of 15.98% during the forecast period 2023-2033. The growing interest of scientists and biotechnology businesses in stem cell research, rise in demand in 2D and 3D cell cultures and demand for targeted therapy and protein therapies are projected to drive the market growth in near future. Additionally, surging expenditure by the government and industry players in stem cell research and development activities is also supporting the market growth. However, high price of cell culture protein and prohibited usage of coating made from animal-sourced protein by a number of laws and social norms are predicted to limit market growth are expected to restrain the market growth.

Surging expenditure by the government and industry players in stem cell research and development activities is supporting the market growth. Every year, Becton, Dickinson and Company provides ten scientists working on stem cell research with reagents worth a combined USD 100,000. Similar to this, the Seventh Framework Program for Research and Technological Development supported four stem cell research projects.

Rise in demand in 2D and 3D cell cultures and demand for targeted therapy and protein therapies is projected to propel the market growth. Growing biological cells under regulated conditions such that they can interact with one another in all directions is known as 3D cell culture. The instruments with protein coatings provide a 3D microenvironment for achieving appropriate cell adhesion and growth. For instance, Agilent Technologies, provides automated imaging technologies that could yield useful data for enhancing standard culture practises and enhancing the reliability and efficacy of ensuing cell-based tests.

Segmentation

By Coating Type

The market is categorized into precoating and self-coating. In 2022, the self-coating accounted for the highest revenue share due to the increase in R&D spending. The development of monoclonal antibodies, protein therapies, induced pluripotent stem cell research, and cryobanking are the main areas of focus for the biotechnology and biopharmaceutical firms. As a result, it is anticipated that during the research period, there will still be a significant demand for self-coating. However, Precoating, is anticipated to increase at the fastest rate during the projection period. Multiwall/microwell plates, flasks, Petri dishes, slides, and cover slips are other subcategories for this market area. Precoated culturewares have a number of benefits, including being ready for use, saving time, delivering consistent quality, and enhancing isolation and cultivation. Precoating culturewares is becoming more and more common as a result. In consequence, it is estimated that this will accelerate the precoating market’s growth.

By Protein Source

The market is categorized into human-derived, plant-derived, animal-derived, and synthetic. In the global market, the animal-derived segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2022 owing to widespread use in the manufacture of biopharmaceuticals, such as monoclonal antibodies and recombinant proteins. However, during the projected period, the synthetic material industry is expected to develop at the quickest rate. One of the main factors driving the expansion of this market is the rising demand for components made without using any animals. Synthetic protein coatings are increasingly being used as a result of ethical and religious restrictions on the use of animal-derived protein.

Regional Markets

In 2022, North America region accounted for the highest revenue in the cell culture protein surface coating market and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. This is attributed to its highly developed healthcare and research infrastructure and its emphasis on medication discovery. Additionally, country’s rapid technological development, rising government support, elevated funding for cell-based research, increasing prevalence of diseases such as cancer, rising authorization for vaccines based on cell culture, growth in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries are other factors contributing to market growth in this region. For instance, Blue Water Vaccinations, Inc. and the Multidisciplinary Center for Research and Development in Immunobiologics worked together in May 2022 to create influenza vaccine candidates based on cell culture and adjuvant formulation-based vaccines. As a result of unexplored prospects in the region, Asia Pacific is anticipated to have the highest CAGR during the study period due to existence of numerous biopharmaceutical businesses and clinical research institutions working on drug discovery and development in China.

Competitor Insights

Some of the key players operating in the cell culture protein surface coating market are PerkinElmer, Inc., Merck KGaA, Corning, Inc., Thermo Fisher Scientific, Greiner Bio-One International GmbH, Merck Millipore, Promega Corp., BioVision, Inc., Sartorius AG, Trevigen, Inc., and Viogene.

For instance, PeproTech was acquired by Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. in January 2022. Thermo Fisher’s cell culture products are enhanced by PeproTech’s line of recombinant proteins, which will enable Thermo Fisher to provide customers with significant advantages through a joint offering.

This comprehensive research report focuses on the global and regional market size and forecasts of diverse segments including coating type and protein source from 2022 to 2033.
