Several industries, including pharmaceutical and cosmetic, among others, are increasingly leveraging the technological advancements in the microbiology culture market to launch sustainable and natural products. As the manufacturing sector continues to lean toward sustainable alternatives, microbiology culture has gained a noteworthy popularity over the past couple of decades and the trend is expected to continue during the forecast period. The tectonic shift toward sustainability within the manufacturing industry played an important role in bringing plant cell suspension cultures into the limelight. Moreover, due to advancements in technology and research, the first plant cell culture-based food supplement ingredients, including Toeside and Echigena Plus are now produced commercially.

Significant developments in the plant cell culture-based productions and soaring demand for ‘superfoods’ worldwide are some of the primary factors that are likely to augment the growth of the microbiology culture market in the coming years. Conventional culture media are expected to grow in demand, as they have emerged as the backbone for several microbiological activities in different fields, including research, industrial, and clinical. The significant development in pharmaceutical biology space, along with a surge in demand for antibiotics and a rise in the number of research activities are some of the leading factors that are anticipated to propel the growth of the microbiology culture market during the assessment period. At the back of these factors, the global microbiology culture is expected to reach a market value of ~US$ 10 Bn by the end of 2027.

Soaring Demand for Microbiology Culture from Food and Healthcare Industries to Drive Global Market

Technological advancements in the microbiology culture market have led to a significant rise in demand for the same from various industries, including healthcare and food, among others. Within the food industry, progress in food and dairy microbiology is expected to drive the demand for microbiology culture. Technological advancements in starter cultures will play an important role in widening the applications of the microbiology culture in the coming years. With stringent regulations and guidelines being laid down across the world pertaining to food safety and food preservation, innovative microbiological techniques wherein microbiology culture are extensively being used have gained a notable amount of popularity. Recent breakthroughs in biological processing are expected to play an important role in boosting the prospects of the market for microbiology culture during the forecast period. Strides taken by molecular techniques, wherein technological and analytical approaches have been deployed is another factor that is expected to influence the growth of the microbiology culture market.

Plant Tissue Culture Technology Likely to Enhance Crop Quality

Research and activities within the microbiology culture market will play a key role in accelerating the demand. The field of biotechnology continues to evolve at a rapid pace due to which, the market for microbiology culture is expected to witness considerable growth. Over the past decade, plant tissue culture for callus regeneration and induction have emerged as a prerequisite to improving the quality of the wheat via Embryo culture, improving regeneration capabilities, and in vitro mutagenesis. In the past few years, plant tissue culture methods are increasingly being used to enable plant biologists to improve the overall yield and quality of the crops. In addition, multiple cutting-edge technologies and tools are being deployed to improve the efficiency of the breeding process, thereby improving wheat germplasm and develop innovative genetic variations to improve the quality of crops. Conventional breeding techniques have gradually become incompetent and inefficient. Microbiology culture is anticipated to play an imperative role in the production of abiotic and biotic stress-resistant crops that are likely to have an exceptional coping mechanism against climate change. Plant tissue culture has emerged as an important component of biotechnology breeding and offers a great amount of push to crop improvement initiatives worldwide. While microbiology culture was primarily used for extensive research of cell division, biochemistry, and cell growth, at present, its applications extend beyond research. Companies operating in the current microbiology culture market are expected to focus on commercializing the use of plant tissue culture to propagate an array of horticulture crops.

Microbiology Culture Market: Overview

This report analyzes the current scenario and future prospects of the global microbiology culture market. Microbiology culture is the process of culturing microbiological organisms, wherein microorganisms are allowed to reproduce and multiply (grow in number) in a predetermined culture media and controlled laboratory conditions. Various culture methods with a vast range of culture media have been developed for the identification and characterization of microorganisms and are increasingly being used across the world. Presently, these microbiology cultures are used by microbiologists on a large scale in food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, research, cosmetics, and several other industries.

Increase in demand for improved antibiotics, improving food microbiology, rise in life science research funding, and high prevalence of foodborne and other infectious diseases are key factors driving the global microbiology culture market. Moreover, the microbiology culture market is witnessing strong growth due to rise in food safety concerns; increase in number of food recalls; evolving pathogens; growing press coverage and public awareness; and increase in demand in other industries.

Additionally, the industry is expected to expand at a rapid rate during the forecast period. This can be attributed to increased food sourcing due to rise in global food demand and supply. This, in turn, would require advanced culture methods and media for fast and accurate microbial analysis. Microbiology culture methods are the principal diagnostic methods used to determine the cause of infectious diseases by culturing the pathogen in a preset medium.
