The Fetal Bovine Serum Market is segmented by Application Type...
“The Fetal Bovine Serum Market was estimated at US$ 874.1 million in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.18% during 2022-2028 to reach US$ ~1190 million in 2028”.
Fetal Cow Serum (FBS) is obtained from the blood of a bovine foetus using a closed collecting system, usually done at a slaughterhouse. The serum is typically utilized in cell culture to supplement the basal growth media. Because of its high concentration of embryonic development hormones, fetal bovine serum (FBS) is the most commonly used form of serum.
In cell culture, the serum provides a wide range of benefits, including low molecular weight nutrients, macromolecular proteins, carrier proteins of water-insoluble components, and other substances required for cell growth in vitro, such as hormones and attachment factors.
Fetal bovine serum is a form of byproduct that is created in the meat processing industry. Several well-known applications, particularly in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology research industries, are used in the procedures. It is known that fetal bovine serum can be obtained from the entire blood of normal bovine fetuses. It is widely utilized in a variety of applications, including various diagnostic systems and research projects.
Market Drivers
The increasing need for fetal bovine serum for research and development projects across a variety of areas, particularly in the pharmaceutical and drug development arena, is one of the primary market drivers responsible for the growth of the fetal bovine serum market.
In addition, the rising frequency of acute and chronic diseases worldwide, as well as the efficacy of fetal bovine serum, are likely to drive fetal bovine serum adoption, hence fueling the growth of the global fetal bovine serum market during the forecast period. The growing ethical concerns associated with the collection of fetal bovine serum are likely to stifle the expansion of the worldwide fetal bovine serum market.
The global fetal bovine serum market is being driven by reasons such as a rapid increase in culture media consumption in emerging countries around the world, which is a key driver driving the market's growth and demand. Furthermore, an increase in R&D activities aimed at the launch of novel biopharmaceuticals as well as the expansion of the biopharmaceutical industry are expected to boost market growth.
Furthermore, an increase in research investments and financing in both developed and emerging countries supports market expansion.
However, ethical and scientific concerns about the potential misuse of biotechnology research procedures, as well as a scarcity of competent employees, limit the market for fetal bovine serum. Furthermore, the accessibility of alternatives such as chemically defined media, serum-free media, and others impedes market growth. Furthermore, the fetal bovine serum market is undergoing a paradigm shift as a result of considerable increases in FBS prices in recent years, which operate as a fundamental restraint.
This price increase is due to a huge increase in demand for FBS while a decrease in production. On the contrary, the untapped potential of emerging markets is expected to present attractive chances to key players in the fetal bovine serum market shortly. Other issues that may limit market expansion include volatile fetal bovine serum prices and disparities between the various geographical segments from which the serum is supplied and collected.
Several investments/guidelines in the industry have been directed in recent years, which would boost the overall market. Some of them are:
According to research published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), fetal bovine serum costs have grown by more than 300% due to increased demand and restricted availability. Nucleus Biologics developed its first premium cell culture solution in January 2017 to enable scientific advancements in research and development.
Recent Developments
The market for fetal bovine serum is highly competitive. The state of the economy and government assistance have a direct impact on the expansion of businesses. Based on their product's quality and market penetration in both the target and growing markets, these companies distinguish their fetal bovine serum driver in the industry. Furthermore, recent important mergers and acquisitions in the sector have had a big impact on the dynamics of competition. For instance:
In July 2017, GE Healthcare and Oritain revealed the debut of a serum fraud testing service.
In January 2017, Nucleus Biologics introduced the first premium fetal bovine serum to enable scientific advances while R&D projects are underway.
COVID-19 Impact
The overall impact of COVID-19 on the fetal bovine serum market remains good. Fetal bovine serum is widely utilized in cell culture preparation and vaccine manufacturing. In vitro, testing of vaccines and antivirals typically necessitates the use of culture media in which the targeted virus or bacteria is cultivated and the response is identified. Fetal bovine serum is utilized as a supplement in vaccine-growing media.
For example, Viral Transport Media is commonly constituted of Fetal Bovine Serum, according to a study publication titled 'Role of Viral Transport Media in Sustaining COVID-19 Testing' released in October 2020. (FBS).
For storing and transporting samples, a viral transport medium is utilized. A viral transport media (VTM) is favored over other varieties because it is a non-toxic blend of antimicrobials and buffered solutions capable of preserving the COVID-19 virus while removing contaminating flora that could interfere with testing.
Fetal bovine serum-based VTM is compatible with a wide range of clinical procedures, including PCR, direct antigen testing, and culture, allowing many assays to be conducted from the same sample. As a result, the fetal bovine serum market is predicted to expand rapidly.
Segments Analysis
By Application Type
The market is further segmented into drugs discovery, in-vitro fertilization, vaccine production, cell-based research, diagnostics, and biopharmaceutical manufacturing, among others.
By End-User Type
“The biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors led revenue and are projected to see significant growth”.
The market is segmented into pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies, contract research organizations (CRO), academic and research organizations, and others. The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries segment contributed the most revenue by end-user and is expected to rise significantly throughout the forecast period due to the growing usage of FBS for biopharmaceuticals and human and animal vaccine manufacturing.
Furthermore, an increase in demand from conventional serum consumers, as well as developments in research and academic endeavors by the commercial and public sectors, are important factors driving market expansion.
Regional Analysis
“North America and Europe are the leading markets for fetal bovine serum and are expected to hold a larger market share during the forecast period”.
The market is broken down geographically into areas like North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World (RoW). North America and Europe are currently the two major markets for fetal bovine serum, and they are likely to account for a higher share of the market during the forecast period.
This is because these regions have large populations of bovine and cattle to permit the production of fetal bovine serum, as well as a high share of R&D activities. Because of its vast cattle population and favorable government backing for research and development, Australia is likely to present the largest market opportunity in the Asia Pacific.
