Market Introduction
Epithelial cells are widespread throughout the body. These cells are covering of body surfaces, line body cavities, hollow organs, and major tissue in glands. These cells perform functions like protection, absorption, secretion, excretion, diffusion, filtration, and sensory reception. These cells are widely used in disease modeling, toxicity studies, and drug discovery, among other applications.
Market Overview and Dynamics
The Middle East and Africa epithelial cell culture media market is expected to reach US$ 13,697.01 thousand by 2028 from US$ 6,968.72 thousand in 2021; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 10.1% from 2021 to 2028. The growth of the market is attributed to some key driving factors such as rising funds for epithelial cells research and prospering biopharmaceuticals industries in different countries. However, risk of contamination, misidentification, and random alternations in cell lines is expected to obstruct the growth of the market to a certain extent during the forecast years.
Epithelial cells are valuable in biology research to understand the function of living systems. Extensive funding for supporting the research projects involving the use of epithelial cells to identify new therapeutic solutions for chronic diseases are propelling the demand for epithelial cell culture media. Hence, the increase in such grants for epithelial cell-based research projects are favouring the epithelial cells culture market growth. Also, rapid advancements in the biopharmaceuticals industry are allowing a better understanding of diseases at molecular level. Epithelial cell cultures are widely used in biopharmaceutical and biotechnology industry for drug discovery, drug transport, drug screening and other applications. For instance, researchers in Maastricht University, used respiratory epithelial cells to produce the acute phase protein lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-binding protein (LBP), which plays a fundamental role in the defense to bacterial endotoxins. Thus, the huge presence and vigorous activities in biopharmaceuticals industries in different countries is creating opportunities for research and innovation, further attracting numerous public–private investments, which are creating significant growth opportunities for the epithelial cell culture media market players.
Countries in the Middle East have also widely affected the socio-economic condition by the COVID–19 pandemic. Due to the less developed economies majority of the countries are depended on the suppliers for healthcare products. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted all phases of drug development and forced many pharmaceutical companies and clinical research organizations (CROs) to put their clinical studies on hold. Additionally, tightened financial condition is also decreasing the overall economic activities in the region. This uncertainty with normal delays often associated with regulatory approvals in low- and middle-income countries is hindering the growth of the market.
