Microbial Culture Market Segmentation:

Culture Type Segment Analysis

The bacterial culture segment is set to account for largest market share by 2035. The segment growth can be attributed to increasing application in pharmaceutical microbiology for developing antibiotics and vaccines, food microbiology, and disease research. Bacterial cultures are performed to diagnose any sort of bacterial infection by using various types of samples such as blood, spinal fluid, stool, mucus, urine, skin, and others. Hence, the presence of various types of bacteria and viruses causing infectious diseases is also estimated to drive market growth. For instance, in 2019, it was anticipated that nearly 1 thousand species of viruses and bacteria existed in this world.

Media Segment Analysis

The complex media segment is expected to garner a significant share by 2035, due to capacity of the complex media to provide a full range of growth factors required to cultivate an unknown bacteria or bacteria with complex nutritional requirements. Further, demand for ready-to-use, off-the-shelf items in dehydrated and prepared culture media has increased substantially which is expected to propel the segment growth. Complex media has plenty of nutrients containing water-soluble extracts of animal or plant tissues. Common instances of complex media are chocolate agar, nutrient broth, tryptic soy broth, and others. Complex media is added to microbial strains to add particular characteristics.
