Cell cultures are essential tools that are used in a wide range of clinical in vitro research studies. 3D cell culture provides an artificial environment which permit biological cells to grow in three dimensions to provide better result than 2D cell culture which is grown in petri dish. Ongoing trend in the development of novel therapies that are more effective, reliable, and safe is prevailing in 3D cell culture market. The global 3D cell culture market is expected to grow with a CAGR of 23.7% during 2016-2023.
The 3D cells cultures are usually grown in a small capsule or bioreactor in which the cell can grow in any shape 3D or spheroid. 3D culture exhibit a higher degree of structural complexity a homeostasis which is analogous to tissues and organs. Advantages of 3D cell culture are proximity of other cells on all side behavior similar to invivo condition and more accurate representation of cyto architecture. These type of culture can also be used as stimulators of tumor characteristic such as hypoxia, anti-apoptotic and dormancy. From past several years tremendous efforts has been put in development of as well as use of 3D cell culture in stem cells study, drug discovery, tissue implantation cancer study etc. 3D cell culture is widely used in research labs, hospitals, and pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical & biotechnology firm and their use is expected to increase in forecast period. Cell biologics, and increasing incident of various chronic diseases such as hepatitis, HIV, cancer etc. are expected to drive 3D cell culture market. New innovations in tissue engineering and 3D printing technology have increased organ harvesting and transplant. Cell based therapies in hospitals and diagnostic centers for oncology patient are set to propel 3D cell culture market for the forecast period. Increasing cell based research, new innovations in cell culture, technological advancements in cell biology research and rising funding for research related activities are some drivers for the market. High investments for cell biology research and shortage of infrastructure for cell based research in emerging countries are few restraints hindering the market growth while factors such as growing demand for organ transplant and increasing R&D investments providing opportunities in forecast period.
