The global microbiology culture market size was estimated at USD 10.25 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 22.33 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 9.16% from 2025 to 2033. The market growth is primarily driven by factors such as the rising prevalence of infectious diseases, increasing demand for rapid diagnostic solutions, and the growing adoption of advanced microbiological techniques in clinical, pharmaceutical, and research laboratories.
Advancements in microbiology techniques
Advances in microbial practices have notably accelerated the growth of the global microbiology culture industry. The traditional culture practice has received more interplay with automation, increased speed, specimen throughput systems, and molecular microbiology instruments, allowing laboratory users to culture and process larger volumes of more specific sample types. In addition, automated culture systems lessen human error, improve repeatability, and ease workflows in collecting complex clinical, research, and industry quality tests, accelerating usability. The technical growth aspect alone has made culture-based diagnostics quicker, more reliable, and accessible, further supporting the growth of high-quality culture media worldwide.
Aspects of modern molecular techniques, including PCR-based assays and genetic analyzers, can aid in rapidly identifying pathogens and novel drug-resistant strains. Advanced techniques in traditional microbiology cultures can increase diagnostic accuracy and speed critical thinking and decision-making in clinical and research settings. The growth of these laboratory applications for improved efficiency, speed, and accuracy will likely increase the demand for advanced and high-quality culture media, with technological advances continuing to support the growth of the global microbiology culture industry.
