Cell Line Development Market Analysis
The Global Cell Line Development Market is expected to register a CAGR of 10.6% during the forecast period.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) classified COVID-19 as a pandemic. Since that time, the mortality rate from chronic diseases has grown dramatically. As a result of the rising demand for vaccine development, COVID-19 is seen to have a positive effect on the cell line development industry. According to the study titled "Scientists develop suitable human cell line for anti-SARS-CoV-2 drug screening" published in the Journal of Virus in March 2022, Researchers have described the creation of a suitable human cell line for the high-throughput testing of antiviral medications that target the coronavirus 2 that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2). Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2), two essential host proteins required for viral entry, were engineered to express high levels in the human lung carcinoma cell line A549. As a result, more cell lines are being developed to manage COVID-19, which had a significant impact on the market under study during the pandemic.
The market is driven by the growing biopharmaceutical industry, rising demand for monoclonal antibodies and cancer therapeutics, and growing production of biosimilars due to the patent expiry of branded therapeutics.
Due to changes in dietary practises, a lack of physical activity, and general changes in lifestyle, cancer has become more prevalent over the past ten years. In addition, the demand for cell line development will rise as vaccine production expands and technology advances. According to the GLOBOCAN 2020 report, the total number of people in the world affected by cancer in 2020 accounts to around 19.29 million cases. The number is estimated to rise to 28.89 million cases by 2040. The use of cell lines in the production of biological cancer drug substances is increased due to increasing in cancer burden hence the cell line development market is expected to grow over the projecting period.
Moreover, growing production of biosimilars due to the patent expiry of branded therapeutics is expected to drive the growth of the market. cell line development play an important role in manufacturing and development of the biosimilars. Biosimilars increase market competition and facilitate patient access to life-saving medications. The primary objective of biosimilar producers is to lower treatment costs. For instance, according to the study titled "Expected Impact of Biosimilars on the Pharmaceutical Companies" published in the Iranian Journal of Medical Science in September 2021, In the markets of France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK, patients now have a 44% greater access to these products as a result of the introduction of biosimilars in the European Union (EU). Therefore, it is anticipated that the development of biosimilar products will increase, making therapeutics more accessible to the individual and accelerating market growth. Moreover, growing launch of the biosimilars expected to accelerate the market growth. For instance, in June 2022, Biogen and Samsung Bioepis reported that Byooviz (ranibizumab-nuna) has been launched on the United States market as ophthalmology biosimilar.Thus, increasing biosimilar launches and patent expirations both had positive effects on market growth.
The above-mentioned statistics indicate the high burden of cancer across the world, which is expected to drive the growth of cell line development market, as there is been an increasing demand for the novel therapeutics to deal with cancer.
Cell Line Development Market Trends
Mammalian Cell Line Development is Expected to Register Rapid Growth Over the Forecast Period
The mammalian cell line development segment is anticipated to experience profitable growth in the future. This is because more mammalian cell sources are being used to create monoclonal antibodies. These cell lines produce intricate proteins that are reminiscent of those in the human body, aiding in the creation of customized medications. Additionally, human tissues and other biological components can easily adapt to mammalian cell lines, lowering the risk of infection. It is anticipated that these benefits of mammalian cell lines will increase the demand for cell line development. According to the study titled "Methods for transient expression and purification of monoclonal antibodies in mammalian cells" published in the Advances in Protein Molecular and Structural Biology Methods in March 2022, the production of human antibodies in animals (mouse or rabbits) from polyclonal to Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), from murine to chimeric antibody, and finally modified to fully humanized mAbs, serves as a desirable therapeutic tool for clinical research and academic study. Thus, increased development of the mammalian cell line to create the monoclonal antibodies which are used in the treatment of various chronic diseases expected to boost the growth of the segment.
According to the Pharma Manufacturing Updates in July 2021, nearly 20 medications, including a few blockbusters like Novartis' Entresto and Biogen's Spinraza, are expected to have their patents expire in 2023. In addition, the expiration of branded drugs has given rise to the emergence of biosimilars. As a result, there has been a growing demand for cell line development. Most of the biopharmaceutical companies that develop mammalian cell lines are based on either the methotrexate (MTX) amplification technology or the glutamine synthetase (GS) system.
With the utilization of mammalian cell lines, the cell clones obtained are highly heterogeneous and large numbers of cell clones have to be screened to identify rare stable high producer cell clones. To make the screening process easier, there have been several advances done in mammalian cell line development, which has been making it the more preferred source for cell line development. For Instance, in May 2022, ProteoGenix, a contract research organization specializing in biologics discovery and bioproduction launched its XtenCHO Transient Expression System. Due to its enhanced plasmid stability and optimized metabolism, the new proprietary mammalian cell-based expression host achieves up to ten times higher yields with less hands-on time compared to existing solutions. The new CHO host aims to simplify recombinant protein production and accelerateearly-phasee drug screening
Therefore, with the advancements being done in mammalian cell lines, the segment is expected to witness healthy growth in the future.
