Global Cell Line Development Market Size (2024 to 2029)

Between 2024 to 2029, the global market for cell line development is predicted to rise at a CAGR of 16.12% and be worth USD 16.84 billion by 2029 from USD 7.97 billion in 2024.

A cell line is a permanently established cell culture that multiples indefinitely given proper media and space and is frequently used to investigate biological processes in place of primary cells. Cell line development is the process of creating stable cell lines for use in various applications, including the creation of biologicsdrug screening, and functional gene investigations. Cell lines are one of the most important research tools for investigating cell physiology and biochemistry, pharmacological and hazardous substance effects on cells, drug screening, and the production of biological compounds. Cell lines, also known as sub-clones, are a subculture of primary culture.

Global Cell Line Development Market Drivers:

Emerging economies and underdeveloped countries are lucrative regional markets for cell line development worldwide, and these countries are anticipated to offer numerous growth possibilities to the market players. The growing usage of regenerative medicine, increasing spending on healthcare, and rising investments in biotechnology are predicted to have a favorable impact on cell line development market growth. Cell culture, drug discovery, and gene therapy are some of the established applications for cell line development in the biotechnology industry. The demand for biosimilars is increasing due to the patent expiry of branded medicine and recombinant proteins, which is projected to result in the cell line development market growth.

In addition, the increasing involvement of several CDMOs in the cell line development market are fuelling the market's growth rate. For instance, AGC Biologics, a leading biopharmaceutical CDMO was named the Leading Innovator in Mammalian Cell Line Development for the USA in 2022, supporting market growth.

Global Cell Line Development Market Restraints:

Cell line development is a time-consuming and labor-intensive operation, which has lowered its appeal among several companies, resulting in reduced adoption and inhibiting the market growth. Developing stable and authentic cell lines remains a key challenge despite the market's innovative technologies. In the coming years, factors such as misidentification, random alterations, and contamination in cell line development are anticipated to showcase a negative impact on market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global cell line development market:

The COVID-19 pandemic had a detrimental impact on the healthcare industry, resulting in the closure of many manufacturing sites and a drop in product demand worldwide. Over the forecast period, the increased prevalence of COVID-19 is expected to impact cell line development market growth. The coronavirus outbreak, which has hampered the cell line development market, has caused significant losses for most of the drug industry. However, once global activities resume and government lockdowns in a few nations are lifted, the global market may get some relief over the analysis period. In addition, with more biopharmaceutical companies embracing cell line development techniques, the global market is expected to rise steadily during the forecast period.

This research report on the global cell line development market has been segmented and sub-segmented based on type, source, application & region.

Global Cell Line Development Market – By Type:

  • Recombinant Cell Lines
  • Hybridomas
  • Continuous Cell Lines
  • Primary Cell Lines

Based on type, the primary cell line segment is the fastest-growing segment among all in the worldwide market due to its vast application in genetics, cell morphology, cell metabolism, and physiology. Embryonic, normal, and malignant tissues are used to start cell culture. The recombinant cell lines segment is also expected to witness growth during the forecast period due to the several applications of the cell lines in therapeutical applications for conditions like cancer, diabetes, and even autoimmune disorders. Furthermore, recombinant cell line has applications in gene activations, drug testing, production of biologics,etc., leading to growth for the segment.

Global Cell Line Development Market – By Source:

  • Mammalian Cell Line Development
  • Non-Mammalian Cell Line Development

Over the forecast period, the mammalian segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR based on the source. On the other hand, the non-mammalian segment is anticipated to hold a considerable share of the worldwide market during the forecast period. The non-mammalian segment has been experiencing several developments all these years and is yet to be a prominent process. SF-RVN cell line developed by MilliporeSigma was the first ever non-mammalian cell line development.

Global Cell Line Development Market – By Application:

  • Drug Discovery and Research
  • Bioproduction
  • Tissue Engineering & Regenerative Medicine
  • Toxicity Testing

Due to increased antibiotics and vaccine production, the bioproduction segment accounted for the major share of the global market in 2023. The bioproduction segment includes the production of biologics-based therapeutic pharmaceuticals such as vaccines, therapeutic proteins, cell therapies, and gene therapies. Antibiotics and vaccines are the most prevalent bioproduction products, and segmental growth is expected to rise considerably in the future due to the rise of pandemics and infectious diseases, particularly in developing countries.

However, cell line development has varied applications in drug discovery and research. Cell lines help determine the toxicity and efficacy of a drug. They are beneficial in various research procedures as they are the base material for cell research. For example, cancer cell lines are extensively used in drug discovery and pathological treatment regimes. Cell line therapeutics s also used to produce antibody-based therapeutics supporting the growth of the segment.

Global Cell Line Development Market – By Region:

  • North America
  • Europe
  • Asia-Pacific
  • Latin America
  • Middle East and Africa

Because government and private sector companies are spending more money on healthcare, the Asia Pacific regional market is expected to rise rapidly. As a result, the biotechnology industry in developing economies is expected to increase significantly during the forecast period. Government measures such as public healthcare programs and enhanced healthcare infrastructure are helping the biotechnology sector growth in developing economies. Additionally, the growing research and development in biologics in countries like China, India, Japan, South Korea, etc., are expected to support the market growth.
