Global Culture Media of Microbiology Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

A microbiological culture medium is a substance that encourages the growth, support, and survival of microorganisms. Culture media contains nutrients, growth promoting factors, energy sources, buffer salts, minerals and gelling agents (for solid media)

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Culture Media of Microbiology market finds that the global Culture Media of Microbiology market reached a value of USD 1781.69 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 2431.69 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.32% during the forecast period.

Technology is constantly improving

Isolation, identification, preservation, research, development and application of microorganisms all depend on Culture Media of Microbiology. Under the background of COVID-19 epidemic, in vitro evaluation of vaccines and antiviral drugs usually needs to cultivate the target virus or bacteria in the culture medium and determine the reaction.

Investment in vaccines, drugs and testing has increased, promoting the further growth of Culture Media of Microbiology. At the same time, the increasingly modern automated production process is constantly innovating, which reduces the labor cost for enterprises.

At present, with the rapid development of science and technology industries such as food and medicine, the requirements for food and drug safety in various countries are constantly improved, and the culture medium industry also needs constant innovation, so the development space of Culture Media of Microbiology is very broad.

Influence of epidemic situation

In order to curb the COVID-19 epidemic, most countries have introduced many policies, including border blockade and social distancing. Epidemic prevention and control measures will affect personnel flow and activities, and then affect logistics. For the Culture Media of Microbiology industry, many manufacturers of raw materials imported from abroad are increasing the cost of raw materials due to the obstruction of logistics and interruption of supply chain. Social distance policy may have a great influence on the production of products, especially for some small and medium-sized enterprises. The fluctuation of raw material prices caused by the epidemic and the increase of logistics and transportation costs may increase the financial pressure of enterprises.

Increased downstream market demand

Culture Media of Microbiology is an artificially prepared nutrient medium suitable for microbial growth and reproduction or accumulation of metabolites. Due to the different requirements of various microorganisms on nutrient substrates, there are many kinds of microbial culture media, which are suitable for different applications. The excellent performance of Culture Media of Microbiology brings it a wide range of applications. Products in the field of biomedicine are constantly iterating, developing and breaking through, and are still continuously innovating at present. And the continuous development of research and development in pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries has promoted the growth of Culture Media of Microbiology industry. With the improvement of living standards and the influence of epidemic situation, consumers pay more attention to food quality, hygiene and safety. The increasing demand for experimental testing of manufacturing and processing entities in food and beverage industries also promotes the downstream demand growth of Culture Media of Microbiology.

Strict market supervision

The supervision on the use of animal-derived materials in culture medium is very strict. And the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have issued a draft guide for medical products using animal-derived materials, suggesting that enterprises using any animal-derived materials that may carry TSE (such as cattle, sheep, goats and deer) should record the animal attributes, used organizations, health information, feed ingredients and so on. FDA further recommends that enterprises keep the inspection results of each batch of materials used in the production department. The method of keeping records and the description of the inspection shall be provided in the supervision submission. Among the animal-derived materials, Culture Media of Microbiology may use animal peptone, bovine serum, hydrolyzed milk protein, trypsin and other materials with TSE risk. In 2020, China also issued the requirements for strengthening the experimental supervision of animal pathogenic microorganisms and the preservation and management of strains. The strict supervision of the use of animal-derived products in culture media is expected to become a challenging factor for the market growth of Culture Media of Microbiology.

Region Overview:

Geographically, North America held the largest market share – 38.83% in 2022.

Company Overview:

Merck Group is one of the major players operating in the Culture Media of Microbiology market, holding a share of 23.6% in 2023.

Merck Group

The company is divided into three business lines: Healthcare, Life Sciences and Electronics. Merck was founded in 1668 and is the world's oldest operating chemical and pharmaceutical company, as well as one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world.

Thermo Fisher Scientific

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. is the world leader in serving science. Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. develops, manufactures and sells a range of products. The Company operates through four segments: Life Sciences Solutions, Analytical Instruments, Specialty Diagnostics, and Laboratory Products and Services.

Segmentation Overview:

As for product types, the Simple Media segment held the largest market share in 2022.

Simple Media

Simple Media also called general-purpose media are basically simple media that support the growth of most non-fastidious bacteria. Peptone water, nutrient broth, and nutrient agar (NA) are considered basal mediums. These media are generally used for the primary isolation of microorganisms.

Complex Media

Complex media are rich in nutrients that contain water soluble extracts of plant or animal tissue (e.g., enzymatically digested animal proteins such as peptone and tryptone). Usually a sugar, often glucose, is added to serve as the main carbon and energy source. The combination of extracts and sugar creates a medium which is rich in minerals and organic nutrients, but since the exact composition is unknown, the medium is called complex.

Synthetic Media

Synthetic medium: Such media are composed of the substances that are chemically known. These media are very useful in studying the physiology, metabolic nature and nutritional requirements of microbes. Both autotrophs and heterotrophs can be grown in these media. Examples- Mineral glucose medium, Richard's solution, Raulins medium etc.

Special Media

Special media include anaerobic media and bacterial L-type media, as well as transportation media, identification media and selection media.

Application Overview:

By application, the Academic Research segment occupied the biggest share from 2018 to 2022.
