Market Player Outlook

Key players of the global 3D cell culture market are Biogelx., Corning Inc., Lonza, Merck KgaA, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. among others. To survive in the market, these players adopt different marketing strategies such as product launches and collaboration. For instance, in June 2020, KIYATEC, Inc. had set forth the data for its ex vivo tumor 3d cell culture model in response to solid tumors. This data was being presented by the company in annual meeting of American association for cancer research as through this unmet need and requirement would be fulfilled in both preclinical drug development and clinical decision making in oncology.  

In October 2019, Corning Inc. had brought two of its products offering in their portfolio of 3d cell culture. One of them is elplasia having the technology that is microcavity that supports analysis, formation along with culture of high-volume spheroid as it is a 3d cell culture microplate. Additionally, the other one is matrigel which is the matrix that supports organoid growth and differentiation. Moreover, this would lead to fulfill the demand in the industry related to spheroids in high densities.  

In May 2018, Nano 3D Biosciences, Inc. was being acquired by Greiner Bio-One International GmbH. According to the company this strategic acquisition was done in order to bring enhancing technology in 3d cell culture to provide best products across the globe through research assess.
