3D Cell Culture Industry Overview
The global 3D cell culture market size was valued at USD 1.5 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 3.48 billion by 2028 registering a CAGR of 10.7% during the forecast period.
As 3D cultures can closely mimic a typical morphology and microarchitecture of organs, they are widely used in studies that require in vivo model systems to analyze the effects of a foreign drug over body tissues and organs. Moreover, biomimetic tissue constructs used to generate 3D organotypic structures drove a large number of research entities to adopt 3-dimensional cell culture techniques. In addition, the usage of 3D tissue-engineered models for Covid-19, cancer, and other clinical disorders has emerged as an alternative approach to traditional techniques. This also shows great potential in providing a relatively simple and inexpensive in vitro tumor-host environment compared to 2D techniques.

The high utility of 3-dimensional models for research about Covid-19 and respiratory diseases is expected to offer significant growth opportunities to the market. Airway and air-liquid interface organoids have been used as tools for the development and discovery of antiviral drugs, and as experimental virology platforms to study the immune responses and infectivity of SARS-CoV-2. Scaffold-based and scaffold-free techniques facilitate the bio-fabrication of realistic models that can be used for the development of novel therapeutics and vaccines against Covid-19.
Several other major factors driving the market growth include the launch of new products and wide applications of 3D protocols in biological research. For instance, in December 2020, eNUVIO Inc., a Canada-based biotechnology company, launched EB-Plate, a completely reusable microplate for 3D cell culture. This is expected to reduce the wastage of single-use plastics, increase the utility of 3-dimensional microplates, and propel zero-waste movement in laboratories.
Similarly, standard 2D analysis methods can easily be applied to RAFT 3D cultures manufactured by Lonza. Since these novel technologies do not require many changes to the existing 2D culture methods, they are adopted by many laboratories across the globe. In addition, Lonza has also developed 3D cell culture models to enhance research in areas of hepatic signaling pathways and drug-induced liver injury to improve in vitro hepatotoxicity testing.
3D Cell Culture Market Segmentation
Based on the Technology Insights, the market is segmented into Scaffold-based, Scaffold-free and Bioreactors.
