Immortalized cell lines are either tumorous cells that do not stop dividing or cells that have been artificially manipulated to proliferate indefinitely and can, thus, be cultured over several generations. HepaRG and Hep G2 cell lines are most frequently used for toxicity studies among the currently available human hepatic cell lines.

The immortalized cell line plays a vital role in cell biology while studying multicellular organisms and their biochemistry. The demand for immortalized cell lines is increasing and so as the applications. The increasing adoption of immortalized cell lines in stem cell therapy drives the growth of the market.

Besides, the increasing awareness regarding the use of cell lines in healthcare, rising vaccines production, increasing application of cell lines in cancer therapy, and use of innovative technology for cell lines have fueled the growth of the market. On the other hand, the high cost of equipment and difficulties in developing a stable and authentic strain have restrained the growth of the immortalized cell line market.

Moreover, continuous cell lines are widely used by numerous pharmaceutical and biotech-based companies as a specimen for testing the drug efficacy. Due to this, there is a reduction in the use of gnotobiotic animals such as mice, rabbits, and monkeys, among others. Moreover, as these cell lines have a long shelf life and can be easily preserved via cryopreservation and lyophilization techniques, several biotech and pharmaceutical companies are preferring them over other media cultures for performing their R&D activities.

For instance, as per a report published by the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Bio Manufacturing Research Institute and Technology Enterprises (BRITE), in 2014, around 1.3 USD billion capital was invested in new pharmaceuticals for drug discovery through cell line culture.

The global immortalized cell line market is segmented based on method, application, and end-user.
