The global 3D cell culture market is expected to reach USD 1345.2 million by 2021 from USD 466.8 million in 2016, at a CAGR of 23.6%. The global 3D cell culture market is broadly classified by technology, application, end user, and region. On the basis of technology, the 3D cell culture market is segmented into scaffold-based and scaffold free. The scaffold-based segment is further categorized into hydrogels/ECM analogs, solid scaffolds, micropatterned surfaces, and others. Scaffold free segment is further classified into attachment resistant surfaces and suspension cultures. Scaffold-based segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global 3D cell culture market in 2016. Due to the variety of material and structural choices for scaffold, they are widely used in various applications in the market. Also, as they provide a surface on which the cells can grow, they can easily impart 3D growth with little alteration to cell culture procedures. On the basis of type of ...
