MEA Cell Culture Market

MEA Cell Culture Market Size (2023 to 2028)

The size of the Cell Culture Market in the Middle East & Africa is projected to reach USD 1.33 billion in 2023 and grow USD 2.14 Billion by 2028. It is estimated to be growing at a CAGR of 9.99% during the forecast period.

Cell culture is the maintenance and growth of cells of animals, plants, or microbes outside the body in specially designed environments under precise conditions of temperature, humidity, nutrition, and pH. In a much broader sense, when complete tissues or even organs are isolated and maintained in a laboratory, it is called tissue culture. Both have some similarities, but cell culture has more influence than tissue culture.

Cell cultures are divided into three categories, namely primary, secondary, and cell line cell culture. The techniques associated with cell culture have helped scientists to use cultures of cells for various experimental studies and biological assays of many types. The laboratory technique of maintaining cell lines developed during the mid-20th century. It involves growing a population of cells descended from a single cell and hence have the same genetic makeup.

The significant factors affecting the Middle-East & Africa Cell Culture market include the rise of infectious diseases in the region and the subsequent demand for drugs and antibodies. The 3D cell culture is another branch that has shown promise in the area. Smaller companies entering the market due to this is another factor that bolsters market growth in the region.

Despite the positives associated with it, the market is not thriving in the region mainly due to the high costs associated with the research as well as the equipment; being a not so economically rich region, the governments of most nations in the area are not willing to spend the massive amounts of money that are required for the industry to thrive in the region.
