Market Insights
The process of applying natural or controlled antimicrobials to preserve food materials to extend their shelf life is known as biopreservation. The biopreservation process is usually carried out with the help of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) as they are inhibitory to microbes responsible for food spoilage. The key agents in the biopreservation process are lactic acid bacteria, yeast, and bacteriophages. The process is carried out to preserve meat, seafood, and other food materials. The biopreservation market can be segmented as products, applications, and cell providers. The product category of the biopreservation market is segmented as media, equipment, and lab information management systems. In addition equipment segment can be further sub-segmented as freezers, refrigerators, liquid nitrogen tanks, and consumables, whereas the media segment is further sub-segmented as pre-formulated media and home-brew media. Biobanking, regenerative medicine, and drug discovery are the key applications of the biopreservation process. The key cell providers are CD19+, tumor cells, CD34+, iPSC, MSC, and hESC.
The key factors assisting the growth of the biopreservation market are government initiatives in the form of funds, grants, contracts, and other funding systems that have led to the growth in the research and development activities of companies and various research organizations. Thus, this event is expected to lead to the progress of new bio-preservation services, further expected to boost application rates during the forecast period 2016 – 2022. Periodic increase in the application areas of bio-preservation is one of the key contributors to the overall growth of the biopreservation market. North America was observed as the largest biopreservation market due to the introduction of new drug developments and therapies in biomedical research and the rise in the population requiring diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic diseases in this region.
