Global Microbiology Culture Market: Overview

Intensifying antibiotics demand for handling the rising incidences of myriad microbial infections is predicted to propel the expansion of the microbiology culture market within the years ahead.  Besides this, massive investments in R&D activities associated with medical research are anticipated to drive the expansion trajectory of the microbiology culture market in an upward direction within the years ahead. Additionally, to the present, the inception of the latest foodborne ailments is projected to reinforce the microbiology culture market demand over the forthcoming years.

Rising antibiotics costs alongside drug resistance, however, are forecast to hinder the microbiology culture market surge within the ensuing years. Nevertheless, extensive research & development activities administered across the healthcare domain are predicted to create lucrative opportunities for the industry within the near future, normalizing the impact of hindrances on the microbiology culture market.

Microbiological culture is a well-established research tool used in molecular biology for the culture of bacteria and yeast organisms. It is a process of multiplying microbial organisms by allowing them to reproduce in fixed culture media under appropriate laboratory conditions. It is one of the primary diagnostic methods of microbiology and used as a tool to determine the cause of infectious disease by letting the agent multiply in a predetermined medium. Microbial cultures are also used to determine the type of organism present in the culture.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis  

The arrival of COVID-19 and its impact on microbiology should be systematically investigated to formulate growth strategies in the future. Furthermore, the rising demand for antibiotics to treat a range of diseases is expected to provide fertile grounds for growth for companies operating in the microbiology culture market.  The lockdowns imposed by various countries to contain the spread of Covid-19 has impacted the global operations and supply chain which had negative consequences on the microbiology culture market as global sales declined.

The major reason for the decline in the market during the pandemic outbreak was a decrease in patient volume in hospitals, owing to rescheduling and delaying procedures for safety reasons. Furthermore, delays happened after a careful review of patient history and if feasible, healthcare providers rescheduled procedures to minimize the risk of getting exposed to COVID-19 during hospital visits.

Microbiology Culture Market: Growth Factors

Significant developments within plant cell culture-based productions and soaring demand for superfoods worldwide are a number of the first factors that are likely to reinforce the expansion of the microbiology culture market within the coming years. The many developments in the pharmaceutical biology space, alongside a surge in demand for antibiotics and an increase in the number of research activities, are a number of the leading factors that are anticipated to propel the expansion of the microbiology culture market during the assessment period.

Globally, microbiological culture market has been accelerated by increasing/rising demand of antibiotics. Moreover, an increase in medical research and funding are the key factors for fueling the growth of microbiological culture market. Furthermore, increase pandemics of microbial infection coupled with various food borne diseases are also considered prime factors for the growth of microbiological culture growth market. However, rising price of antibiotics coupled with the resistance to antibiotics against infection is such limitation which directly affects the growth of the market. Nonetheless, ongoing research and development in the healthcare sector technologies are expected to open growth avenues for the microbiological culture market over the years.

Microbiology Culture Market: Report Scope

Microbiology Culture Market: Segmentation Analysis

Based on culture type, the global market of microbiological culture is bifurcated into two types: bacterial culture and eukaryotic culture. The segment of eukaryotic culture is further segmented into eukaryotic algal cultures, yeast cultures, and others. Bacterial culture accounted for the largest market share in terms of revenue in 2015. This is due to increase usage in pharmaceuticals, disease research, and food microbiology.

Based on media type, the global market of microbiological culture is bifurcated into four types: simple media, complex media, synthetic media and special media. Complex media dominated the microbiology culture media market in 2015 followed by special media. Complex media accounted for the largest market share in terms of revenue, because it offers a full range of development factors require for the cultivation of nutritionally complex bacteria or any kind of unknown bacteria.

Microbiology Culture Market: Regional Analysis

Geographically, North America has been leading the worldwide microbiology culture market and is anticipated to continue in the dominant position within the years to come. The presence of a well-established medical and healthcare infrastructure and skilled healthcare service providers is the main factor behind the dominance of the North American microbiology culture market. The rising preference for antibiotics within countries like the U.S. and Canada is predicted to impel the microbiology culture market progress in the future.
