INTRODUCTION Animal testing has been the most common method in various experimental studies in biomedical research, given their resemblance to humans in terms of genetics, anatomy, and physiology.

New York, May 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "3D Cell Culture Market by Scaffold Format, Products, Application Areas, Purpose, and Key Geographical Regions : Industry Trends and Global Forecasts, 2022-2035" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06272714/?utm_source=GNW
Specifically, mice genome has 80% similarity with humans, which makes them excellent models for various research purposes. However, the use of animals in scientific research is associated with several ethical concerns, which led to the establishment of the principle of 3Rs- Replacement, Reduction and Refinement, to address the ethical concerns related to animal welfare and limit the use of animals in scientific research. As of 2018, this initiative led to 50% reduction in the use of animals as compared to the statistics noted in 1985. Further, the process of animal breeding / housing for scientific purposes is also associated with high costs and requires skilled labor. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that animal cell cultures are unable to accurately mimic the natural (in vivo) microenvironment as the cells cultured in monolayers are both morphologically and physiochemically different from their in vivo counterparts. These concerns have necessitated a transition from animal-based testing to the use of 3-dimensional (3D) cell culture models. Over time, advances in biotechnology and materials science have enabled the development of a variety of 3D cell culture systems in order to drive research across different application areas, including cancer research, drug discovery, tissue engineering and others.

At present, more than 140 companies offer 3D cell culture systems in a variety of formats, including scaffold-based products, scaffold-free products and 3D bioreactors. These systems have demonstrated to be capable of more accurately simulating the natural tissue microenvironment, offer increased cell-to-cell and cell-to-ECM interactions, more accurate evaluation of drug toxicity and cellular responses, and co-cultuirng of multiple cell types together. Moreover, there are certain complex 3D cell culture models that can even replace animal models exhibiting reproducible results and thereby, serving as better in vivo models across multiple application areas. Given the various benefits of such systems, the field has garnered the attention of various venture capital firms and strategic investors that have been providing financial support to drive research efforts focused on exploring different formats of 3D cell culture systems, including organoids and organ-on-chips across multiple application areas. Moreover, there has been an increase in scientific literature on 3D cell culture systems and collaborations for 3D bioreactors and cell culture products. Given the ongoing innovation in this field, and the paradigm shift from 2D cell culture systems and animal testing to 3D cell culture models, the market is likely to witness a significant growth in the foreseen future.
