Cell culture media storage containers are vessels specifically engineered to preserve the quality of cell culture media. Equipped with securely sealing lids or caps, these containers effectively prevent evaporation and sustain ideal conditions for cell proliferation. Available in a range of sizes and shapes, they can accommodate diverse volumes of media and seamlessly integrate with various laboratory apparatus.
The primary products within the realm of cell culture media storage containers include storage bags, storage bottles, storage bins and drums, among others. A storage bag, characterized by its flexibility and composed of materials such as plastic, cloth, or paper, serves the purpose of storing and transporting various substances or goods. Its applications span across biopharmaceutical production, tissue engineering, diagnostics, and regenerative medicine. End-users encompass pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, contract research organizations and contract manufacturing organizations, as well as academic and research institutes.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp increase in U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the medical equipment sector, especially for imported components used in imaging machines, surgical-grade stainless steel, and disposable plastics. With hospitals and clinics pushing back against price increases, manufacturers are facing margin pressure. The situation is further complicated by regulatory challenges, as switching suppliers due to tariffs often necessitates re-certification of medical devices, leading to delays in market entry. In response, companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing key components, ramping up domestic production of standardized items, and accelerating research into more cost-effective materials.
The cell culture media storage containers market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides cell culture media storage containers market statistics, including the cell culture media storage containers industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with cell culture media storage containers market share, detailed cell culture media storage containers market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the cell culture media storage containers industry. These cell culture media storage containers market research reports deliver a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The cell culture media storage containers market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.51 billion in 2024 to $2.88 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the increase in research activities in the life sciences, rise in demand for cell-based therapies, heightened demand for personalized medicine, growth in the biopharmaceutical industry, and expansion of the biotechnology sector.
The cell culture media storage containers market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.92 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expanding regenerative medicine applications, emerging cell therapy technologies, growing demand for 3D cell culture systems, adoption of automated cell culture processes, and increasing focus on cell-based assays. Major trends in the forecast period include increased adoption of single-use systems, development of eco-friendly packaging options, integration of smart technology for monitoring and control, customization and modular designs for flexible use, and emphasis on traceability and quality assurance in storage solutions.
The forecast of 14.3% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.9% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through tariffs on sterile multilayer film pouches and aseptic connector systems, sourced from key regions such as Italy and Denmark, which could lead to media contamination risks and higher cell therapy manufacturing costs.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The increasing emphasis on personalized medicine is anticipated to drive the growth of the cell culture media storage containers market in the future. Personalized medicine, also referred to as precision medicine, is an approach to healthcare that customizes treatment and medical practices based on the individual characteristics of each patient. This heightened focus on personalized medicine stems from the demand for more precise and efficient treatments, as well as advancements in genomics and precision healthcare technologies. Cell culture media storage containers play a crucial role in personalized medicine by preserving and maintaining cell cultures, enabling the development of patient-specific therapies and tailored treatments. For example, in February 2024, as reported by the Personalized Medicine Coalition, a US-based organization advocating for personalized medicine adoption, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved 16 new personalized treatments for rare disease patients, compared to 6 in 2022. Thus, the increasing emphasis on personalized medicine contributes to the growth of the cell culture media storage containers market.
Major players in the cell culture media storage containers market are innovating their product lines, introducing solutions such as single-use bioprocess containers to address biopharmaceutical fluid management needs and enhance their competitive position. Single-use bioprocess containers are specialized vessels tailored for the biopharmaceutical sector, facilitating the storage, manipulation, and transportation of biological materials such as cell culture media, cell suspensions, and drug substances throughout various stages of bioprocessing. For example, in October 2022, Single Use Support GmbH, an Austrian company specializing in fluid and cold chain management solutions, unveiled the IRIS single-use bioprocess containers. This line of innovative bags is engineered to provide robust storage and transportation solutions for drug substances, offering customizable features to meet specific customer requirements.
In January 2022, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., a biotechnology company headquartered in the US, purchased PeproTech, Inc. for $1.85 billion. This acquisition is intended to strengthen Thermo Fisher's position in the cell culture media storage containers and gene therapy markets by incorporating PeproTech's portfolio of recombinant proteins into its existing biosciences division. As a result, Thermo Fisher will be able to offer a broader array of solutions to pharmaceutical and biotech clients. PeproTech, based in the US, is a biotechnology firm that specializes in the development and production of cell culture media storage containers and recombinant proteins for life science research.
