Microbiology Culture Market to exceed US$7.59 bn by 2023, Bacterial Culture Media to Lead Growth

The microbiology culture market has grown significantly in the last few decades in terms of demand in various end-user industries. Academia, clinical research organizations, and commercial end-user industries such as pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and food and beverage are providing impetus to the global microbiology culture market. The increasing potential of bioprocessing and biopharmaceutical applications has driven demand for microbiology culture media products.

The microbiology culture media market is witnessing strong growth due to factors such as increasing food concerns worldwide, rising number of food product recalls, and growing impact of press coverage on food processing industries. The bacterial culture media segment accounted for the larger share of the global microbiology culture market in 2014. Moreover, the segment is likely to continue its dominance during the forecast period from 2015 to 2023 due to expected rise in application in food microbiology, pharmaceutical microbiology, and disease research. In terms of culture media, the complex media segment held the largest share of the global microbiology culture market in 2014, followed by other market segments such as synthetic media, special media and simple media. Demand for complex media is likely to witness continuous growth during the forecast period as it provides full range of growth factors required to cultivate unknown bacteria or bacteria with complex nutritional requirements. Additionally, demand for ready-to-use, off the shelf products in dehydrated and prepared culture media has increased significantly. This is expected to propel the segment in the near future.

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.
Key factors driving the global microbiology culture market are high demand for improved antibiotics, increasing food microbiology, rising life science research funding, and high prevalence of foodborne and other infectious diseases. 


Moreover, the microbiology culture market is witnessing strong growth due to rising food safety concerns, increasing number of food recalls, evolving pathogens, growing press coverage and public awareness, and increasing demand in other industries. Additionally, the industry is expected to expand at a rapid rate due 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.
