For instance, millions of people are affected by the influenza virus infection.
Hence, vaccination development programs for seasonal influenza infection cater to the increasing demand of millions of doses within short duration. Novel production systems employ mammalian or insect cell culture techniques to overcome the limitation of the egg-based production system. Growing demand for cell culture-based production of vaccines, through the mammalian cell culturing process, increases the demand for cell culture flasks.
Market Restraint
High Costs of Biology Cell Research
Cell culture process is expensive, as it requires state-of-the-art facilities and an artificially controlled environment. Researchers invested millions of dollars in funded research on the cell culturing processes to evaluate and assess the study of cancer. Cell culture uses its different types of cell culture vessels such as flasks in cellular biology, offering an effective model system for studying the biochemistry of cell.
The cell culture process and its flasks are used for assessing drug screening and its development process. Thus, high cost of biological cell research and investments by research institute, inhibits the market.
Market Opportunity
Technology Advancements
The cell culture process focuses on the incorporation of technology in the production process for enhancing the diagnosis of diseases. Manufacturers use cell culture derived from plants, as the natural phytochemicals or compounds ae gaining preference in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries.
The in-vitro plant cell culture technology is adopted in the production of medicinal herbs and secondary metabolites to reduce the challenges of mass production, including the issues in quality and quantity of metabolite production. Technological advancements in the cell culture technique is estimated to boosts the usage of cell culture flasks during the production of secondary metabolite, thus creating opportunities in the market.
