Fetal Bovine Serum Market Research, 2030
The global fetal bovine serum market size was valued at $796.25 million in 2020, and is projected to reach $1,375.53 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.4% from 2021 to 2030. Fetal Bovine serum is a nutrient-rich fluid derived from the blood of bovine fetuses. Fetal bovine serum (FBS) is a major component of animal cell culture media, which is obtained from bovine fetuses of cows. It has several nutritional and macromolecular factors that are essential for cell growth. Besides this, it also comprises amino acids, sugars, lipids, hormones, and low gamma globulin content. As a result, it is widely utilized in a range of applications, such as providing essential nutrients and facilitating cell survival and proliferation in eukaryotic cell culture. It is also used in research, manufacturing, biotech drugs, and controlling human and veterinary vaccines.
FBS is used in a wide range of applications. One of the primary uses of FBS is in eukaryotic cell culture, with concentration, where it provides many essential nutrients and growth factors that facilitate cell survival and proliferation.
The global fetal bovine serum market is driven by factors such as rapid increase in culture media consumption in developing countries across the world is key factor driving the growth and demand of fetal bovine serum market. Furthermore, rise in R&D activities toward the introduction of novel biopharmaceuticals and expansion of the biopharmaceutical industry is anticipated to drive the growth of market. Moreover, an increase in investments and funding for research interventions in both developed and developing countries drives market growth.
However, ethical & scientific concerns associated with the potential misuse of biotechnology research practices and dearth of skilled personnel restrict the fetal bovine serum market. In addition, ease of availability of alternatives such as chemically defined media, serum-free media, and others hampers the market growth. In addition, the fetal bovine serum market is experiencing paradigm shift, due to significant rise in prices of FBS over the recent years, which acts as a key restraint. This increase in price is attributed to the significant surge in demand for FBS while decrease in its production. On the contrary, untapped potential of emerging markets are anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities in the near future to the key players operating in the fetal bovine serum market.
Impact Of Covid-19 On Fetal Bovine Serum Market (Pre And Post Analysis)
The World Health Organization (WHO) on January 30, 2020 declared COVID-19 outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. COVID-19 has affected around 210 countries across the globe. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, governments across the globe announced country-wide lockdowns as well as social distancing measures to prevent collapse of the healthcare system. Governments have also issued limitations and bans on medical procedures and elective surgeries. These restrictions continue to impact the growth of various industries, and the immediate impact of the outbreak varies from industry to industry.
The distribution, production, and supply chain have been affected, due to the implementation of lockdown across the globe.
The overall impact of COVID-19 remains positive for fetal bovine serum market. As fetal bovine serum is used extensively in in-vitro cell-culture preparation and vaccine production. The in vitro evaluation of vaccine and antivirals generally requires a culture media in which the targeted virus or bacteria is cultured and the response is identified. Fetal bovine serum is used as a supplement in the growth media for vaccines.
For instance, according to a research article titled 'Role of Viral Transport Media in Sustaining COVID-19 Testing' published in October 2020, Viral Transport Media is generally composed of Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). A viral transport media is used for preserving and transporting samples. A viral transport media (VTM) is preferred over other types, as it is a non-toxic mixture of antimicrobials and buffered solutions that can preserve the COVID-19 virus while eliminating contaminant flora that might interfere with testing. Fetal bovine serum-based VTM has proven compatibility with a wide range of clinical tests from PCR to direct antigen testing to culture, allowing different tests to be run from the same sample. Thus, the fetal bovine serum market is expected to experience rapid growth.
