Tissue Culture Incubator Market Forecast, Trend Analysis & Competition Tracking - Global Market Insights 2018 to 2026

A tissue culture incubator is designed to maintain constant temperature along with high humidity that allows the growth of tissue culture cells or microbiological culture under a CO2 atmosphere with constant temperature. A majority of companies manufacturing tissue culture incubators are bringing in their new technologies and advanced engineering techniques to yield the well-established growth of cell culture. Standard tissue culture incubators, in a broad category, include air-jacketed incubators, water-jacketed incubators, and direct heat incubators. Companies are strategizing their sales by carrying out merger and acquisition activities in order to maintain their dominance in the industry. A standard tissue culture incubator offers a CO2 range of 0.3% to 19.9%, temperature of +4°C to 50°C, along with humidity levels superior than 80% RH. Tissue culture incubators find a large range of applications in end-use settings, including research and clinical laboratories, where these incubators are used to lead tissue culture and cell culture work. Tissue culture incubators are also used for cell cultivation, and IVF and stem cell applications. Newly launched tissue culture incubators are embedded with different kinds of sensors, usually thermal conductivity (TC) sensors and IR sensors. This innovation is capable of preventing contamination and desiccation, and also promoting energy efficiency and temperature control. The increasing adoption of this proven technology, coupled with enhanced user-friendly firmware techniques, including programmable controls with password protection, door opening alarms, CO2 alarms, temperature alarms, has enhanced security for the users of incubators. This is leading to the growth of the tissue culture incubator market. 

Tissue Culture Incubator Market: Drivers and Restraints

Increasing technological advancements in tissue culture incubators, such as the introduction of CO₂ incubators equipped with an infrared radiation control systems, coupled with increased funding for tissue-based research, is expected to be a major factor driving for the growth of the tissue culture incubator market over the forecast period. The increased demand for tissue culture incubators in research laboratories, pharmaceutical testing or production laboratories, and in those laboratories where tissue engineered medicinal products or advanced therapy medicinal products are manufactured, has necessitated the need for an increased supply of tissue culture incubators. Thus, with the growing demand for tissue culture incubators, manufacturers are focused on manufacturing high quality tissue culture incubators, thereby aiding revenue generation in the global tissue culture incubators market. The launch and addition of new products due to the presence of special expertise in tissue culture incubator production, along with growing applications in microbiology, are other important factors contributing to the growth of the global tissue culture incubator market. Also, the increasing adoption of automation over manual technology within the framework of microbiology is further expected to drive revenue generation in the global tissue culture incubator market. However, the high costs associated with these incubators are restraining revenue growth in the global tissue culture incubator market.
