Cell culture consumables and equipment are designed to support scientists in growing cells in culture media for applications such as drug discovery, tissue engineering, gene therapy, vaccine production, and toxicity testing.
The main products in cell culture consumables and equipment include consumables and instruments. Cell culture instruments comprise equipment required to support cell growth and maintenance in laboratory environments. The instruments include cell culture vessels, bioreactors, biosafety cabinets, carbon dioxide incubators, and centrifuges, while consumables include media, sera, and reagents. The applications include vaccination development, toxicity testing, cancer research, drug screening and development, recombinant product manufacturing, stem cell technologies, regenerative medicine, and others, and are used by end users such as industrial, biotechnology, agricultural, and other sectors.
Tariffs are impacting the cell culture consumables and equipment market by increasing costs for imported instruments such as bioreactors, incubators, and high-quality consumables like culture media and reagents. Segments like advanced cell culture instruments and high-grade reagents are most impacted, particularly in Asia-Pacific regions including China and India. This has led to higher production and operational costs, but tariffs also encourage domestic manufacturing, innovation in consumables, and investment in local laboratory infrastructure.
The cell culture consumables and equipment market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides cell culture consumables and equipment market statistics, including cell culture consumables and equipment industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a cell culture consumables and equipment market share, detailed cell culture consumables and equipment market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the cell culture consumables and equipment industry. This cell culture consumables and equipment market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The cell culture consumables and equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $14.69 billion in 2025 to $16.05 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to limited availability of specialized cell culture instruments, reliance on conventional culture media, growing academic and industrial research activities, rising vaccine and biologics development, increasing awareness of regenerative medicine potential.
The cell culture consumables and equipment market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $25.49 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to advancement in bioreactors and automated incubators, increasing investment in stem cell and gene therapy research, growth of biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, adoption of high-throughput screening technologies, integration of smart and automated laboratory equipment. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for advanced cell culture consumables, expansion of stem cell and regenerative medicine research, increasing adoption of automated cell culture instruments, growth in drug screening and development applications, focus on high-quality culture media and reagents.
Increased funding for cancer research is anticipated to support the expansion of the cell culture consumables and equipment market going forward. Funding refers to the allocation of financial resources to support research, development, and innovation initiatives. Adequate funding plays a crucial role in advancing cell culture technologies and improving the availability and performance of consumables and equipment used in cancer research. For example, in September 2023, the National Cancer Institute, a US-based government agency, received a budget allocation of $7.3 billion from the United States Congress for fiscal year 2023, reflecting a $408 million increase compared to 2022. Consequently, increased funding for cancer research is reinforcing growth across the cell culture consumables and equipment market.
Leading companies operating in the cell culture consumables and equipment market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as in-unit dry hydrogen peroxide fogging sterilization, to significantly reduce contamination risk and downtime in GMP cell culture production. Dry H2O2 fogging sterilization is a vapor-phase decontamination method that delivers effective sterilization without condensation or water pooling. For example, in March 2025, Caron Scientific, a US-based provider of controlled-environment incubators and bioprocess equipment, launched its 7406 Series Incubator Shaker. The system offers high single-chamber capacity within a compact vertical footprint and provides precise control of temperature, CO2, humidity, and shaking parameters. Its integrated dry H2O2 decontamination cycle prevents condensation and allows immediate reuse after sterilization, improving operational efficiency and contamination control in high-throughput GMP-compliant biologics production.
In June 2025, STEMCELL Technologies, a Canada-based provider of cell culture media, cell separation technologies, instruments, and contract assay services, acquired Cellular Highways Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, STEMCELL aims to strengthen its cell therapy and research instrumentation portfolio by integrating a gentle, high-speed, GMP-ready cell-sorting technology. Cellular Highways Ltd. is a UK-based biotechnology company that develops advanced cell-sorting solutions for fragile cells used in cell and gene therapy, drug discovery, and fundamental cell research.
