The Europe microcarriers market is expected to grow from US$ 417.19 million in 2022 to US$ 1,035.52 million by 2030. It is estimated to record a CAGR of 12.0% from 2022 to 2030.
Strategic Initiatives and Innovative Products by Microcarrier Manufacturers Drive Europe Microcarriers Market
Companies operating in the microcarriers market focus on strategic developments such as collaborations, expansions, agreements, partnerships, and new product launches, which help them improve their sales, expand their geographic reach, and enhance their capacities to cater to a larger than existing customer base. A few of the noteworthy developments in the microcarriers market are mentioned, In October 2023, Kuraray Co., Ltd. developed PVA hydrogel microcarriers for cell cultures used in regenerative medicine. The product is scheduled for launch in January 2024 in Japan and overseas, beginning in the US. In June 2023, Teijin Frontier introduced new nonwoven microcarriers that enable speedy, large-scale, high-quality cell culture. The new nonwoven microcarriers combine Teijin Frontier's proprietary fiber process and nonwoven design technology, and fiber-related biomedical expertise by the Faculty of Engineering, University of Fukui, Japan. In October 2023, Semarion, unveiled the Early Adopter Programme for its SemaCyte Microcarrier Platform. SemaCytes developed by Semarion are cell carrier materials created using microchip fabrication technologies, nanomagnetism, and smart materials. These assaying microcarriers are flat and function as ultraminiaturized, magnetically steerable wells that carry small colonies of adherent cells into suspension to improve cell-based experiments. In January 2021, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc acquired Henogen S.A., a Belgium-based viral vector manufacturing business of Groupe Novasep SAS. Henogen provides vaccine and therapeutics manufacturing services to biotechnology companies and large biopharmaceutical customers. With this acquisition, Thermo Fisher Scientific expanded its capabilities in the cell and gene vaccines and therapies category. In November 2020, researchers from the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Science and Technology (SMART) developed a novel microcarrier for large-scale cell production and cell expansion. Employing this microcarrier would allow businesses to have higher yields in a more cost-effective way than traditional methods while lowering the number of steps involved in the cell retrieval process. This newly developed dissolvable Gelatin microcarrier from SMART can be used in cell expansion for treating various ailments, including bone and cartilage defects, and graft vs. host disease, i.e., the rejection of foreign bone marrow and cells. Therefore, introducing products such as PVA hydrogel microcarriers, nonwoven microcarriers, and SemaCyte microcarrier platform, and the initiation of new businesses through collaborations and partnerships to remain competitive in the market would create significant growth opportunities in the microcarriers market.
