and Rest of the World).

The first attempt to culture cell artificially dates back to 1907, where Dr. Ross Harrison, an
Anatomy Professor, developed hanging drop technique to grow three-dimensional (3D) frog
embryonic nerve fragments via a cover slip. Since then, life science researchers have
depended on primarily adherent, two-dimensional (2D) cell culture techniques where cells of
interest are cultured in plastic or glassware for study of human cells, tissues, and disease
models. As intricacies of these techniques are understood advanced 3D models have been
developed which greatly influence the in-vitro culturing and driving cell culture market. In
contrast to 2D environment, cells grown in three-dimensions display higher degree of
intercellular interactions, assume more physiologically relevant morphologies and preserve
higher-order tissue processes. Tools, technologies, and protocols are making in-vitro 3D
analysis simple, cheap, reproducible and scalable-enough for adaptation in drug
development. As these tools have become more accessible and validated, researchers in
both academia and biopharma are shifting their attention from 2D to 3D cell culture. As
estimated by IQ4I Research, the 3D cell culture global market is expected to grow at a low
double digit CAGR to reach $1,485.1 million by 2024.

Rising investments in research and development, increasing need for organ transplantation,
use of 3D cell culture models as a tool against animal testing, use of microfluidic technology,
and increasing focus on regenerative medicine are some of the factors that are driving the
market growth. The entry of new players with novel technologies and introduction of
technology driven products are creating an opportunity in the global 3D cell culture market.
Whereas, Lack of experienced and skilled research professionals, lack of consistency in 3D

cell culture products and budget restriction for small and medium-sized laboratories are
hindering the market growth. Stringent regulatory process controls and ethical concern over
animal source usage are the major threat to the market.

The recent progress in microfluidic technology, scaffolds, spheroids and gels-based systems
is making lot of difference in the market as they provide micro-scale complex structures and
well-controlled parameters to mimic the in vivo environment of cells and thereby gives an
opportunity for scientists to explore new applications such as tissue engineering, stem cell,
drug discovery and regenerative medicine. The rapid advancements in the field of cell
culture such as 3D bioprinting, organ-on-chip, and single use bioreactors is advancing day-
by-day and has been accepted as the future direction of 3D cell culture market. Now-a-days,
ultra low attachment micro-plates (ULA) applications are increasing as researchers are
focusing on single spheroid and microtissue production for downstream assay compatibility
driving demand for ultra low attachment microplates. For instance, InSphero AG
(Switzerland), Corning Incorporated (U.S.), Perkin Elmer (U.S) are some the major
companies manufacturing these plates.

Geographically, 3D cell culture market is divided into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific
and Rest of the world. North America dominated the market with largest share in 2017, due
to increased government funding, rising incidence of cancer, development of new models for
candidate drug screening and cytotoxicity testing, expanding biopharmaceutical industries
and high healthcare expenditure. Europe accounts for second largest share followed by
Asia-pacific region and it is expected to grow at the highest rate due to increased healthcare
awareness, improved economic growth, low operating cost and increased outsourcing.
Significant new product launches, collaborations and partnerships joint ventures are some of
the industry trends that are playing a major role for the market growth.

Some of the major companies that manufacture 3D cell culture products include, Becton
Dickinson & Company (U.S.), ThermoFisher Scientific (U.S.), Corning (U.S.), Lonza
(Switzerland), Merck KGaA (Germany), Kuraray Co. Ltd. (Japan), Insphero (Switzerland),
Nano 3D Biosciences (U.S.), JSR Corporation (Organogenix Inc.) (Japan), and Organovo
Holdings Inc. (U.S.).

Emerging players in the 3D cell culture market include, 3D Matrix Co (Japan), AMSBio LLC
(U.S.), Ascendance (U.S.), BioCellChallenge (France), Biolamina AB (Sweden),
CellecBiotek AG (Switzerland), CelVivo IVS (Denmark), Cytoo (France), Fujifilm (Japan),
Hurel Corp (U.S.), Nanopahrma AS (Czech Republic), Prodizen (Korea), etc.
