Culture media is a special type of media that is used in the microbiological laboratories for growing several different kinds of microorganisms. A culture or growth media consists of several types of nutrients that are mandatory for microbial growth. Microorganisms happen to exist in different forms with unique properties and they require specific nutrients for their growth.
Culture media are prepared based on what type of nutrients are present. Culture media preparators are used for preparation of culture media. Culture media preparators are used for different purposes like for preservation of the culture media, for enrichment of the culture media, for selective culture media, for differential culture media and for resuscitation culture media.
When large volumes of media is processed, there is a difficulty in sterilization of culture media preparation. Culture media preparators cut down the problem of sterilization and help with better heat penetration to the entire media. Culture media preparators also reduce the heat sterilization period. Culture media preparators are highly preferred for minimal damage and higher efficiency of the culture media.
Growing geriatric population and higher prevalence of infectious diseases are the major factors fueling the market growth for culture media preparators market. Culture media has wide applications in food industry, molecular biology, environmental analysis and several other industrial applications.
Increasing applications of culture media is also expected to contribute to the market growth for culture media preparators over the forecast period. Growing prevalence of several chronic diseases and increase in demand for indication-specific diagnosis and treatment is also expected to drive the market for culture media preparators over the forecast period.
However, certain temperature increase in the heating stage could lead to digestion and liquefaction of the culture media which might further hinder the market for culture media preparators. Lack of awareness of these culture media preparators and consistent use of traditional manual way of culture media preparation could also hamper the market growth for culture media preparators over the forecast period.
Global Culture Media Preparators market is expected to grow significantly owing it to the increase in incidence and prevalence chronic diseases and growing demand for disease diagnosis and treatment. Growing technological advancements in the field of molecular biology, microbiology is expected to be a boon for the culture media preparators market.
Culture media preparators for food and beverage industries have also constantly contributed to the culture media preparators market. By the product, automated culture media preparators are expected to grow at a robust rate owing it to less risk of errors like temperature errors and contaminations involved with the culture growth. Automated culture media preparators balance the consistency, composition and purpose of the culture media involved.
Geography wise, Culture Media Preparators market is divided into eight regions viz. North-America, Asia- Pacific excluding China & Japan, China, Japan, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Latin America and Middle-East & Africa. North America’s Culture Media Preparators market is expanding because of high adoption rate and it will remain dominant over the period of forecast due to growing microbiology facilities and improved healthcare expenditure for chronic disease diagnosis and treatment.
The incidence of these chronic cases is increasing which also contributes to the share in the region. Europe’s Culture Media Preparators market is also expected to grow at a significant rate due to improved product range of the Culture Media Preparators.
