Executive Summary

The global market for cell lines and membranes was valued at $5.7 billion in 2024 and is estimated to increase from $6.3 billion in 2025 to reach $11.4 billion by 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5% from 2025 through 2030.

The term “cell line” refers to a culture of cells with an even genetic structure developed from single cells. A cell line is also defined as an indefinitely developed cell culture proliferating indeterminately in an appropriate fresh space and medium. In vitro cell-free systems can replace cell cultures in some fields, but cell lines are still used for diagnostic assays, therapeutic screens and biomedical research. In the 1950s, HeLa, the first human cell line, was created. Cell line development rates have grown over time due to genetic mutation and growth condition adjustment, making the technique more straightforward and more accessible for research labs. Several cell line models are currently available to the scientific community.

Cell lines and membranes find vast applications, including drug discovery and development, basic research, toxicity screening, biopharmaceutical production, drug screening, forensic testing and tissue engineering. Cell lines and membranes have proven highly beneficial across drug discovery applications.
