Culture Media Market to Reach USD 13.33 Billion by 2030, Driven by Vaccine Expansion and Automation Trends
Introduction
The culture media market is witnessing significant growth, with its size projected to jump from USD 6.81 billion in 2025 to USD 13.33 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 14.38%. This expansion is fueled by increased demand for bioprocessing inputs, mRNA vaccine production, and the commercialization of biosimilars. North America currently holds the largest market share, supported by established regulations and strong funding, while Asia-Pacific is expected to grow fastest due to policy-driven facility expansions. Laboratories are increasingly shifting toward automation-ready media, including chromogenic and serum-free formats, to enhance efficiency and consistency.
Key Trends
- Rapid, Large-scale mRNA / Viral-vector Vaccine Capacity Expansions
- Shift from Serum-based to Animal-component-free Media
- Biosimilar Manufacturing Boom Creating Bulk-Media Demand
