The increasing application in cell culture is expected to drive the growth of the fetal bovine serum market.

Fetal Bovine Serum Market Statistics

Market Overview

The fetal bovine serum is an important component in cell culture applications in several research disciplines. It is widely used in drug delivery, regenerative medicine, stem cell research, and other areas of life sciences research. Fetal bovine serum provides necessary hormones, growth factors, and essential nutrients for the proliferation and growth of cells in culture. The increasing significance of developing novel therapeutics and understanding mechanisms has led to a growth in demand for FBS in research settings.

It is expected to enhance the growth of the market. In addition, rising technological advancements in high-throughput screening techniques and cell-based assays, as well as growing investment in research and development within the life sciences sector, are further anticipated to enhance the growth of the fetal bovine serum market during the forecast period.

  • The increasing applications in human & animal vaccine production, in vitro fertilization, and drug discovery are expected to boost the FBS market growth.
  • The increasing awareness about animal welfare across the globe is anticipated to drive the growth of the fetal bovine serum industry.
  • The high demand for sera across end-users such as academic institutes for cell culture media and drug development contributed to propel the growth of the fetal bovine serum.

Growing market participants' investments in the life science industry to fuel the market growth.

The market for fetal bovine serum is being enhanced by a growth in research & development efforts in the life science platform. Regenerative medicine is an advanced area in the life science industry that deals with growing, repairing, and replacing damaged organs or tissues. In cell-based therapy and tissue engineering, two vital fields of regenerative medicine research, FBS is continuously employed.

The need for fetal bovine serum as an essential component of these therapies increases as market players invest more in clinical trials and regenerative medicine research. This enhances the market growth and increases venture country investment, government initiatives, the rapid expansion of the pharmaceutical industries, and a strong workforce. Thus, these major factors are expected to accelerate the growth of the fetal bovine serum market.

However, increasing prices of fetal bovine serum may restrain the market growth. It has been admitted that utilizing cattle to produce fetal bovine serum has surged the price of fetal bovine serum on the market. A growing number of calves are being killed for producing FBS, which is illegal, and the manufacturers face steep fines that have gone down their market output. The significant decline in production and spike in demand for FBS are the reasons for this cost increase. Thus, these factors are expected to restrain the growth of the fetal bovine serum market.

Recent Innovations in the Fetal Bovine Serum Market by Omeat

  • In June 2024, Omeat released Plenty's white paper, which describes the performance of Plenty across various cell types as observed by users outside of the company. It served as a moral substitute for Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) following the debut of Plenty. Plenty is a nutrient-rich FBS substitute made from the plasma of living cows. Platelet lysate, namely, enriches it.

Recent Innovations in the Fetal Bovine Serum Market by IntegriCulture

  • In April 2022, IntegriCulture began selling its basal media on a commercial scale. This medium may be used to grow meat without the need for growth nutrients produced by animals. The purpose of this launch was to prepare foie gras, or fattened duck or goose liver, for use as the company's first cell-cultured product later this year. This was accomplished through the use of I-MEM and CulNet.

Market Potential and Growth Opportunity

Increasing demand for fetal bovine serum because of the shortage

The fetal bovine serum can be easily obtained from commercial vendors and is reasonably priced compared to other growth supplements. Prices may increase if there is an increasing demand for fetal bovine serum compared to the supply. FBS suppliers and manufacturers now have the chance to take advantage of the pricing difference and increase earnings and sales. Producers are also investing in increasing their production capacity to satisfy the rising benefit and demand from advantageous market conditions, which are estimated to offer growth opportunities. These factors are expected to enhance the growth of the fetal bovine serum market in the coming years.
