Cell culture protein surface coating is performed to mimic in vivo environment that more closely resembles the natural biological environment of the cells, improving the chances for success during in vitro isolation and cultivation. This technique further improves the adhesion and proliferation of cells in culture. In surface coatings, the inner surface of culture vessel is coated with extracellular matrix components and proteins such as collagen, fibronectin, osteopontin, laminin and vitronectin. These components are derived from various sources that support the growth of endothelial, fibroblasts, epithelial, myoblasts and muscle cells, leukocytes, neurons, and various cell lines. However, culture contamination or control of cell interaction with the surrounding environment is a major challenge surrounding the market.

North America generated the highest revenue in the cell culture protein surface coatings market in 2018. Increased demand for cell culture and analysis products from biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, research institutes, and clinical laboratories propelled the growth in this region. Nevertheless, vendors have huge opportunities to expand their business in the APAC and MEA regions as they are emerging as the fastest clinical hubs due to the availability of R&D expertise, skilled technicians, and significant cost advantages.

The players in the cell culture protein surface coating market offer wide range of coated vessels in order to suit a variety of cell culture applications. Their major focus is on providing consistent quality products. They are also coming up with improved and innovative products with specific and corrective features, which will fuel the cell culture protein surface coating market growth. The market is highly competitive with the presence of many global and local players that are targeting each other’s products and trying to steal market share. Moreover, the consumers enjoy low switching costs.

The cell culture protein surface coatings market has been segmented based on type and source. Based on product types, the market has been classified into self-coatings and pre coatings. Pre coatings are further divided into multi well plates, petri dishes, flasks, slides and coverslips. Based on source the market has been divided into animal derived sources, human derived sources, plant derived sources and synthetic sources.

Self-coatings dominated the market in 2018, generating USD 294.02 million. However, pre coating is expected to grow at a highest pace during the forecast period. The choice of whether to opt for pre coatings or self-coatings in the lab largely depends upon many factors. These include the need for optimization and customization, the flexibility to use different coatings, together with the available time, facilities, space, and budget. Overall, self-coating is preferred while working with non-chemically defined coatings and when regular modifications to coating factors are required. Self-coating allows a high degree of elasticity and aids the use of short lifecycle coatings such as the biological coatings. On the contrary, pre-coated culture ware offers significant benefits in consistency and lab efficiency. Moreover, with the increased popularity of xeno-free or animal-free culture conditions, synthetic pre coatings can provide a user friendly, reliable, and chemically-defined substitute to self-coating.

Among the coating sources, synthetic source is anticipated to show lucrative growth during the forecast period. There is an increased demand from the Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology industries for synthetic sources. Biopharmaceutical industries are at greater risk of production failure due to product contamination. Therefore, animal-free synthetic protein surface coating is particularly helpful as it decreases the risk of contamination. As a result, the market players are concentrating chiefly on the development of animal-free synthetic protein surface coatings to meet the increasing demand from the industry.

Regionally, North America dominated the global cell culture protein surface coatings market in 2018, which was closely followed by Europe. However, Asia Pacific is expected to grow at a highest CAGR of 14.2% by 2025.

Asia Pacific has numerous comparative advantages in terms of research and development (R&D) knowledge, facilities, skills, and cost effectiveness. In Asia, about 64% of the biotech companies operate in the bio-pharma sector, followed by bio-services, bio-agriculture, bio-industrial and lastly the bio-informatics sector, providing a huge market for cell culture products. Japan has one of the most developed biotechnology sectors in the world, as demonstrated by the high number of patents filed. An upsurge in the number of bio venture start-ups was seen in 2013, with numerous foreign companies now trying to enter the market. Likewise, the government is also keen on supporting the sector’s growth and has passed many laws backing it; and is being observed as a national strategy.
