It will grow from $4.68 billion in 2024 to $5.26 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the rising demand for regenerative medicines, including cell therapies and tissue engineering, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases driving research efforts, the expansion of biopharmaceutical production requiring advanced culture systems, growing government funding and supportive regulatory frameworks in the life sciences, and improvements in media formulations and cell culture efficiency.

The cell culture media market for regenerative medicines market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.24 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing demand for regenerative therapies and biopharmaceuticals, rising investments in research and development for regenerative medicine, growing adoption of serum-free and chemically defined media, expanding government support and favorable regulations, and the increasing need for scalable and automated cell culture production systems. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in serum-free and xeno-free media, development of automated and high-throughput cell culture systems, innovations in personalized and precision therapies, progress in stem cell and regenerative medicine applications, and the creation of custom and chemically defined formulations.

The increasing emphasis on personalized medicine is expected to drive the growth of the cell culture media market for regenerative medicines in the coming years. Personalized medicine involves tailoring treatment and prevention strategies based on an individual’s genetic profile, environment, and lifestyle. This focus is expanding due to the growing demand for targeted therapies for rare and complex diseases, driven by advances in genomic research and broader access to precision diagnostics. The cell culture media market for regenerative medicines supports personalized medicine by providing specialized media designed to grow patient-specific cells for individualized regenerative therapies. For example, in February 2024, the Personalized Medicine Coalition, a US-based nonprofit organization, reported that the FDA approved 16 new personalized treatments for rare disease patients in 2023, compared with six in 2022. Thus, the rising focus on personalized medicine is fueling the growth of the cell culture media market for regenerative medicines.

Leading companies in the cell culture media market for regenerative medicines are developing innovative solutions, such as animal-component-free media, to improve cell growth consistency, enhance safety, comply with regulatory standards, and support scalable clinical manufacturing. Animal-component-free media are formulated without any animal-derived materials, ensuring greater consistency, safety, and regulatory compliance for research and therapeutic applications. For instance, in May 2023, Lonza Group AG, a Switzerland-based life sciences company, launched TheraPEAK T-VIVO Cell Culture Medium, a chemically defined, animal-component-free formulation optimized for CAR T-cell manufacturing. By eliminating reliance on animal or human serum which can introduce variability, risk of adventitious agents, and require extensive safety testing and batch stockpiling the medium improves process consistency, streamlines regulatory compliance, reduces costs, and accelerates time-to-market. TheraPEAK T-VIVO delivers high performance without human serum supplementation, representing a strategic step in Lonza’s mission to simplify and expedite cell therapy commercialization globally.

In January 2022, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., a US-based life sciences and analytical technology company, acquired PeproTech Inc. for $1.85 billion. Through this acquisition, Thermo Fisher expanded its biosciences portfolio by integrating PeproTech’s recombinant protein technologies, including cytokines and growth factors, into its cell culture media offerings. This strengthens Thermo Fisher’s capacity to support pharmaceutical and biotech companies in developing and manufacturing advanced cell and gene therapies. PeproTech Inc. is a US-based biotechnology company specializing in cell culture media for regenerative medicines.

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 sudden escalation of U.S. tariffs and the consequent trade frictions in spring 2025 are severely impacting the pharmaceutical companies contend with tariffs on APIs, glass vials, and lab equipment inputs with few alternative sources. Generic drug makers, operating on razor-thin margins, are especially vulnerable, with some reducing production of low-profit medicines. Biotech firms face delays in clinical trials due to tariff-related shortages of specialized reagents. In response, the industry is expanding API production in India and Europe, increasing inventory stockpiles, and pushing for trade exemptions for essential medicines.

The cell culture media market for regenerative medicines focuses on specialized nutrient solutions designed to support the growth and maintenance of cells in vitro for tissue engineering and regenerative therapy applications.
