Global Microbiology Culture Market Size Likely to Expand at a CAGR of 6.4% By 2033

Global Microbiology Culture Market size was valued at USD 8.1 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 14.6 Billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period 2024 – 2033.

Microbiology Culture Market: Overview

Microbiology culture is the process of cultivating and developing microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, fungus, and parasites under controlled laboratory conditions. In this technique, a sample of microorganisms is inoculated onto an appropriate medium for development, which provides the nutrients and environment for the bacteria to multiply.

An important global trend in microbiology culture is the increased use of modern technology and procedures to improve efficiency, accuracy, and automation in testing for microbes and identification operations.

Traditional methods based on culture are being supplemented or substituted with rapid microbiological methods (RMMs), which produce faster results, require less hands-on time, and have higher accuracy and specificity. This trend is being driven by the need for quicker turnaround times in medical diagnostics, food safety testing, and pharmacological quality control, as well as rising demand for point-of-care testing and real-time monitoring solutions.

Furthermore, there is a growing emphasis on personalized medicine and precision microbiology, which is encouraging the development of novel culture-based methods for researching the microbiome and microbial interactions in a variety of contexts. In summary, sophisticated microbiological culture methods are being adopted leading to more efficient workflows, improved product quality, and better public health outcomes.

By culture type, the bacterial culture segment held the highest market share in 2023 and is expected to keep its dominance during the forecast period 2024-2033. A major development in bacterial culture is the growing desire for rapid and automated culture methods, including modern molecular techniques such as PCR and NGS, which allow for quicker and better detection of pathogens and diagnosis.

By media type, simple media segment held the highest market share in 2023 and is expected to keep its dominance during the forecast period 2024-2033. A noticeable trend in simple media is the growing need for ready-to-use, pre-made culture media formulations, which simplify laboratory operations and provide uniformity in microbiological testing and research applications.

By application, the food and beverage segment held the highest market share in 2023 and is expected to keep its dominance during the forecast period 2024-2033. Growing public understanding of health, sustainability, and ethical issues has led to a surge in demand for plant-based and substitute protein products in the food and beverage industries.

A prominent development in the Asia-Pacific area is the increased use of quick microbiological testing technologies, which are being pushed by the need for faster and more efficient food safety and clinical diagnostics solutions.

Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. is an American company that develops and manufactures specialized technical solutions for the life science research and clinical diagnostics sectors. Bio-Rad is a prominent blood typing product vendor, offering a comprehensive range of platforms, reagents, organizing data, and connection solutions to meet various volume blood typing requirements.
