The global organoids and spheroids market size was USD 405.8 Mn in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 2100 Mn by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 22.6% during 2023–2031. The market growth is attributed to the increase in the demand for cell therapy and tissue engineering.
Organoids and spheroids are 3D cell culture units that are cultured with various techniques. These 3D cell culture units are majorly used as building blocks in the generation of complex organs and tissues. 3D spheroids are considered to be essential aspects in the field of regenerative medicine science and tissue engineering. Organoids are used for therapeutic purposes such as insulin production, misfiring stem cells, and examining brain neurons.
With the help of organoids, researchers study several processes that happen in the body. Organoids and spheroids have a similar structure to original organs and carry human genetic information. Organoids are replicas of human organs such as lungs, intestines, kidney, brain, stomachs, and livers. This type of organoid model shows phenotypic traits of the organ they are grown from and exhibits self-regulation potential.
Organoids are derived from embryonic or adult stem cells. These cells divide and produce various types of cells. Organoids are complex clusters while spheroids are well-designed cell aggregates used as engineered cancer models. Moreover, spheroids are derived from mammary glands, tumor tissue, hepatocytes, and embryoid bodies.
Spheroids have importance in cancer treatment as it mimics the main therapeutics resistance patterns of solid tumors. It recapitulates the basic 3D structure of tumors, such as central necrosis, multicellular structure, and proliferation gradients depending on tumor type. This 3D cell culture is produced in vitro cultures in optimum lab scenarios and used in various applications to study the biological process on a cellular level.
The COVID-19 pandemic has moderately affected biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. Moreover, increased R&D for developing regenerative medicines for treating COVID-19 patients and rapid development in stem cell therapy research propel the market growth. For instance, scientists have developed miniature lungs to study the mechanism of the entry of SARS-CoV-2. Organoids aid in the study of the defense mechanism of tissue against SARC-CoV-2. This has a great impact on vaccine development.
Rising demand for organoid cultures in the drug development process is anticipated to fuel the market growth during the forecast period. Organoid technology has applications in genetic mutation, gene assessment, and tumor modelling. Moreover, organoid 3D cell cultures are used in cancer research as cancer prevalence is rising. Cancer research is rising due to the rising investments in R&D activities.
Complexity in the reconstruction of complex in vivo cellular diversity and signaling of organs or tumors is expected to hamper the market. In addition, high cost of implementation is anticipated to hinder the market during the forecast period.
Rapid technological developments in 3D spheroid technology are expected to fuel market growth. For instance, AMS Biotechnology (AMSBIO) introduced Cultrex Organoid Progenitor Cells, which can be optimized by the use of different sets of extracellular matrices. Researchers are able to direct cell activity by controlling the culture microenvironment. Cultrex spheroid proliferation/viability and invasion assays provided by the company stimulate the development of cohesive spheroids even in low adhesion environments.
Organoids-on-a-chip technology and the development of high throughput Organoids-on-a-chip technology propel the use of patient-derived organoids in clinical practice and facilitate therapeutic decision-making. Organoids-on-a-chip technology is microfabricated cell culture devices. Organ chips have microfluidic channels lined by living human organ-specific cells. The construction of any organ-on-a-chip system is guided by design principles based on a reductionist analysis of its target organ.
