Cell Culture Protein Surface Coatings Market Size

Cell Culture Protein Surface Coatings Market Analysis

The cell culture protein surface coatings market is expected to register a CAGR of 9.5% over the forecast period. When COVID-19 first appeared, a lot of biotech and pharmaceutical companies, governments from different nations, and research institutions began to concentrate on the creation of efficient vaccines and novel treatments to treat the problem. The creation of new vaccines for the treatment of COVID-19 was facilitated by cell culture. 

• As per the report published by the Journal of Clinical Virology in July 2022, there was a significant positive correlation between the probability of isolating SARS-CoV-2 in culture, fewer days of symptoms, and a lower RT-PCR cycle threshold value. Hence the cell culture was used during COVID-19 for proper diagnosis and was expected to grow the cell culture protein surface coatings market. As viral studies are still ongoing, it is expected to have a significant impact in the coming future.
• The major factors, such as increasing stem cell research activities, increasing demand for protein therapeutics and targeted therapy, and growing preference for 3D cell cultures over 2D cell cultures, are driving the growth of the market over the forecast period.
• The optimization of the cell culture environment enables cells to grow, function, and survive in a realistic and representative manner. The surface coating of cell culture with protein involves coating the cell culture surface with extracellular matrix or protein components to improve the proliferation and adhesion of the cells in-vitro. Increasing stem cell research activities are expected to have a positive impact on the growth of the market.
• For instance, in June 2022, the Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI) invited applications for seed grant funding for its 2022 cycle. The program's objective is to offer financial support for creative initiatives in the field of stem cell and regenerative biology to accelerate the development of new stem cell-based therapies or cures. As per the same above-mentioned source, the amounted award is USD 100,000 per project per year for up to two years. Thus the funding for the research activities increases the stem cell research activities that may drive the growth of the market over the forecast period.
• However, the high cost of cell culture protein surface coatings products and restrictions against the use of animal-source protein coating material may impede the growth of the market.
