3D Cell Culture Market Expected to Reach USD 3.26 Billion by 2031, Driven by Oncology, Regenerative Medicine, and Organoid R&D
Chicago, 31th May 2025 — The global 3D cell culture market is projected to grow from USD 1.32 billion in 2024 to USD 3.26 billion by 2031, marking a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.7%, according to Clearview Market Insights (CVMI). 3D cell cultures accurately replicate physiological tissue architecture more than 2D monolayers, offering higher translational value in drug discovery, cancer biology, stem cell research, and personalized medicine.
"Three-dimensional culture systems are revolutionizing how we
predict therapeutic responses and model disease," said Dr. Sabrina Moreau,
Cell Biology Lead at CVMI. "Organoids, spheroids, and scaffold-free models
are rapidly becoming standard tools in translational research."
