The cell line development market is expected to cross USD 6.07 Billion in 2030at a CAGR of 10.10% during the forecast period.
Market Overview:
Cell Line Development (CLD) is a process that is being used for a variety of research and drug development and production application such as drug target identification and biologic drug production. The process begins by selecting host cells; the most commonly used host cells are Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO)or HEK293 cells. The cell line development market growth can be attributed to the growing vaccine production globally, the developing biotechnology sector, and rising demand for monoclonal antibodies. However, there are pitfalls in the cell line development market, such as complex regulatory scenarios and stem cell research issues.
Impact of COVID-19
The rising prevalence of COVID-19 is projected to influence cell line development market growth over the forecast period. As the coronavirus outbreak continues, the majority of the pharmaceutical companies experienced a significant loss, thereby hampering the cell line development market. The COVID-19 pandemic has highly affected the economy across the globe; this severely impacts the production process and demand across numerous verticals and disrupts the supply chain.
Many companies halted their manufacturing and supply operations in the initial phase of the pandemic. However, the current situation of COVID-19 is expected to reach normalcy since the medical professionals and health authorities in the countries are taking the necessary steps to fight against the virus. Furthermore, pharmaceutical companies and research institutions worldwide have shifted their research activities in finding vaccine for COVID-19, thereby putting the development of other therapeutics on hold.
Market Dynamics
The increase in spending on healthcare research activity supports market growth. For instance, according to the US Department of Health and Human Services 2019, the National Institutes of Health spends USD 39.2 billion on medical research in the US. Moreover, according to the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers Association (PhRMA), the biopharmaceutical business has a significant economic influence in the US. The total economic impact includes USD 558 billion in revenue from biopharmaceutical businesses and USD 659 billion from suppliers and worker spending. According to Research!America, a non-profit medical and health research advocacy alliance, in 2018, total estimated U.S. medical and health R&D expenditures accounted for about USD 194,175 million, of which USD 129,488 million was invested by the industry and USD 43,016 million by the federal government. Moreover, there was a 35.65% growth in the total expenditure between 2013 and 2018.
Companies with a global market presence, such as Pfizer (US), Novartis (Switzerland), Cellectis (France), and bioMérieux SA (France), are involved in the development of innovative cell therapy products. In recent years, owing to the increasing demand for cell therapy, several new technologies, including closed and automated production platforms, have been adopted, and several others are in development. Increasing research & development in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry to cater to rising needs for treatments of various chronic diseases has driven the growth of automated cell culture equipment. Such innovation is expected to be the critical driving factor for the cell line development market.
Developing stable and authentic cell lines involves highly complex techniques and substantial time and effort for generating stable cell lines. Hela is the first immortal cell line that was used in scientific research. The chances of contamination are higher as this line can grow over other cell lines and undergo mutation rapidly. Hence, the increasing cases of cell line mutation are likely to restrict the adoption of cell line development equipment.
The human cell lines used for the vaccine production include established animal cells, such as Vero, Madin Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK), or Chicken Embryo Fibroblasts (CEFs). These cell lines require proper maintenance as they grow and multiply at a very fast rate. The vaccines developed by using animal cells are used for the treatment of polio, rotavirus, smallpox, and Japanese encephalitis.
Thus, the complexity involved in developing a stable strain of cell line and maintaining and preventing it from contamination are factors restricting the growth of the global cell line development market during the forecast period.
Opportunity
The cell line development process is initiated via organs or tissues collected from mammalian or non-mammalian sources. The source of this process is a prerequisite for the development of stable cell lines for commercial purposes. Therefore, the rising adoption of mammalian sources for the production of antibodies and the increasing demand for expressing complex proteins similar to those expressed in human beings are anticipated to provide significant growth opportunities.
