Abstract
Introduction
The growth and propagation of mammalian cells in culture is a routine but
critical precursor to the investigation of such fundamental cellular processes
as gene expression and protein function and to the development of
therapeutics. Cell culture products are widely used not only by scientists
working with traditional cell lines but also by researchers engaged in
experiments with such emerging model systems as stem cells and engineered cell
lines.
This Cell Culture Dashboard was developed based upon the aggregated responses
to a 22-question survey completed by more than 480 scientists actively engaged
in mammalian cell culture predominantly located in North America and Europe.
This Dashboard reveals key market indicators for the research market for cell
culture products as a whole as well as for the following product segments:
- Basal media
- Fetal bovine serum
- Animal sera
- Balanced salt solutions
- Serum free media
- Dry powdered media
- Growth and attachment factors
Percepta' s 2010 Cell Culture Dashboard™ the third in a series of reports
that examines the characteristics and dynamics of the market for cell culture
products. This 2010 Dashboard provides a snapshot of the current market
landscape that can be compared with data from the 2008 and 2007 Cell Culture
Dashboards, providing an ongoing story of how the market is adapting to new
products, new competitors, new culture methods, and new sales and marketing
strategies.
Survey Methodology
In June of 2010, Percepta fielded the Mammalian Cell Culture Survey to a
subset of the Percepta BioAnalytix™ Panel of life scientists.
Individuals were invited by e-mail blast to click through to a webpage at
perceptabioanalytix.com where the survey was hosted. Invitations were
delivered on June 15, 2010 and results collected through June 30, 2010. A
total of 570 scientists participated in the survey, of which 481 are actively
engaged in performing mammalian cell culture and 4 plan to culture mammalian
cells in the next 12 months. Results based on the aggregate of collected
responses are revealed in this Cell Culture Dashboard.
Important Note: This report only includes analyses related to the
research market for cell culture products and not the market for products used
in bioproduction or pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Respondent Demographics
Respondents from the academic, government and commercial market segments are
well represented. 54.2% of respondents work at universities, colleges, or
medical schools, while 9.2% are employed at hospitals or medical centers.
18.4% of respondents work for biotechnology companies, while 9.4% are employed
by pharmaceutical companies. Overall, 28.5% of respondents work in industrial
laboratories.
75.7% of respondents are from North America (68.9% in the United States and
6.8% in Canada), while 23.9% reside in Europe.
Junior (Lab Tech, Grad Students), mid level (Post-Doc, Lab Manager) and senior
(Professor/PI, Group Leader) scientists are well represented in the data set,
with the most cited job titles being Scientist/Senior Scientist (29.6% of
respondents) and Professor/Principal Investigator (17.1%).
A wide variety of scientific areas of specialization is also evident, led by
cell biology (indicated by 25.8% of respondents as their primary area of
expertise), biochemistry (13.2%), immunology (9.8%), microbiology / infectious
disease / virology (8.5%) and oncology (7.4%).
Small (1-5 scientists), medium (6-20 scientists) and large (>20 scientists) laboratories are well represented. 46.3% of respondents are from laboratories
where between 1 and 5 scientists perform cell culture. 44.9% of respondents
work in labs where between 6 and 20 people culture mammalian cells, while the
remaining 8.8% are from labs where more than 20 people perform this technique.
