Market
Overview:
Microcarriers are sterile, ready-to-use systems which are used
with bioreactors to expedite cell attachment and cell production methods. The
global microcarriers market is expected to reach a market valuation of USD 1.18
Bn at a CAGR of 5.9% over the forecast period of 2018-2023, projects Market
Research Future (MRFR) in an in-depth study.
Growing demand for cell-based vaccine is a key factor enhancing
the growth of the global Microcarriers
Market. Cell culture techniques have gained widespread acceptance in
the study of cell function, cell differentiation, and cell structure are vital
tools in the production of biological materials such as vaccines, hormones,
interferons, enzymes, antibodies, and nucleic acids. Microcarrier technology is
extensively leveraged by research institutes and life science companies for
various cell-based applications.
Microcarriers allow for convenient surface for the growth of
adherent cells and facilitate increasing the yield of cells products. They are
also applied to isolation of cells, studies on differentiation and cell
function, harvesting mitotic cells, membrane studies and others. Advances in media
formulation, improvement in processing technologies, and progress in cell
characterization techniques have helped the global microcarriers market move
ahead. Moreover, technological advancements in microcarriers has resulted in
increased productivity which ultimately leads to decreased cost which is
fostering the growth of the global microcarriers market.
