The global 3D cell culture market size is projected to grow at an exponential CAGR during the forecast period 2020-2027. The market growth is attributable to growing preference of 3D cell culture over the 2D cell culture techniques owing to their ability to overcome technical flaws associated with the 2D monolayer cell cultures. Moreover, increasing focus on the oncology-related drug research, enhanced resemblance of 3D cultures to the in-vitro environment, enabling cost-effective drug discovery and growing demand for personalized and regenerative medicine are some of the key factors driving growth in 3D cell culture market globally.

3D culture systems on the account of their ability to mimic in-vivo environment of tumor cells play a vital role in studying the fundamental cross-linkage between diverse intercellular pathways responsible for tumor formation. For instance, 3D Multicellular Tumor Spheroid system (MCTS) – a scaffold-free spherical 3D model of self-assembled tumor cells is utilized as a promising biological tool for demonstrating phenotypic and the tumor heterogeneity aspects of the in-vivo tumor growth. In addition, high availability of R&D funding for doctoral academic projects focused on advancing 3D cell culture technique is further anticipated to boost the demand for three-dimensional cell culture systems, thereby aiding market growth.
