Report Scope
The scope of the report encompasses the major types of 3D cell culture that are being used by industry, academic researchers, government labs, and independent research groups. This includes the main inputs such as cell lines, media, sera, reagents, software, and instrumentation. It analyzes the current market status, examines future market drivers, and presents forecasts of growth over the next five years. The previous edition had a separate section on patent analysis. Here patents have been included by type of technology instead.
The market structure has been re-organized for this edition. Also, more research was done on base case data for different product areas. The greater emphasis is on the different products used for 3D cell culture, but the report also investigates the market in terms of types of applications, end users and geographic regions.
