Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/87sbsm/cell_culture) has announced the addition of the "2013 Report on the International Cell Culture Market - Trends and Forecasts to 2018" report to their offering.

Cell culture is the process of removal of living cells from a plant or animal and growing such cells in an artificial, controlled environment. The trend of adoption of cell culture in the field of pharmaceuticals is rapidly picking pace. In 2011, the global market for cell culture was worth USD 8,500 million and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.3% from 2012 to 2018. Manufacturing of biopharmaceuticals involves use of cell culture systems as a unique method of product development as such products are difficult to be produced by conventional pharmaceutical development processes.

Research and development in the field of biopharmaceuticals that concentrates on discovery of new therapeutics for rare diseases and new mechanisms of drug actions has increased the scope for cell culture in biologics.

Cell culture is used in a wide range of applications such as development of model systems for research, analysis of cellular structures and their mechanisms, drug discovery for treatment of diseases such as Alzheimer's, stem cell research, drug evaluation, genetic engineering and production of biologics such as antibodies, vaccines and proteins. Applications such as stem cell research have huge potential for the cell culture market in the future. Stem cell culture assists in standardization of drug production and enables production of a wide variety of cell lines and related products.
