The agar plates market size was USD 241.8 million in 2022. As per our research, the market is projected to touch USD 407.8 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 9.1% during the forecast period.

Agar plates are Petri dishes used to cultivate microorganisms that contain a growth medium that has been made solid by agar. Sometimes selective compounds are added to influence growth, such as antibiotics. In the microbiology lab, agar plates—a thin layer of nutritional gel in a Petri dish—are used to cultivate bacteria and fungi. polysaccharide produced from the cell walls of red seaweed. To make some bacteria grow more favorably on the agar, several nutrients can be supplied.

COVID-19 Impact: Imposed Restrictions in the Economy Resulted in Decline in the Market

The COVID-19 outbreak caused temporary business closures as well as supply chain and manufacturing disruptions, which in turn reduced the development of telecom infrastructure and had a negative effect on the sales and marketing efforts of rugged phone companies competing in the market. The effects were severe, particularly for startups and small- to medium-sized businesses operating in this industry. Companies did, however, make a lot of restructuring efforts to address the supply chain difficulties and improve collaboration with suppliers and partners to lessen the negative market impact.

LATEST TRENDS

The report facilitates an overall understanding of the Global Agar Plates. The market estimates that are presented in the report are the results of more thorough secondary research, primary interviews, and internal proficiency reviews. The impact of different social, political, and economic elements as well as the market's current market dynamics are considered when considering market estimates. The pour plate method is typically used to determine how many colony-forming bacteria are present in a liquid specimen. A larger volume can be employed than the spread plate since the sample is combined with the molten agar media.

DRIVING FACTORS

"The Utilization as a Catalyst to Boost the Market Growth"

The microbial mixture is transferred to the edge of an agar plate with an inoculating loop or swab and then streaked out over the surface in a zig zag pattern. At some point during the procedure, as the loop is rubbed along the agar surface, individual cells fall from it and grow into distinct colonies. For isolating aerobic microbes, it is helpful. Cultures are never subjected to temperatures of melted agar at 45 °C. A mixture of cells or of a cell culture is spread out over the Agar surface of a Petri dish, with the use of a flame-sterilized glass rod-made cell spreader and incubated over a defined time period - usually between 12 and 48 hours. Surface-dispersed cells develop form colonies, which are recognisable cell groupings.

"Extensive Application in Laundering Process to Multiply the Production and Market Growth"

Using a sterile pipette, a predetermined volume of inoculum (typically 1 ml) from a broth or sample is poured into the centre of a sterile Petri dish in the pour plate method. The Petri plate holding the inoculum is then filled with molten, cooled agar (about 15mL), which is stirred thoroughly. After the solidification of the agar, the plate is inverted and incubated at 37°C for 24-48 hours. Microorganisms will grow both on the surface and within the media. Colonies that grow within the medium generally are small and maybe confluent; the few that grow on the agar surface are of the same size and appear like those on a streak plate. Using a magnifying colony counter, each colony—large and small—is meticulously tallied.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Several Challenges Associated with the Local Irritation to Restrain the Market

Compared to the streak plate/and/or spread plate approach, the pour plate method requires more time to prepare. Heat-sensitive organisms that meet heated agar lose their viability. The organism to be counted must be able to endure brief exposure to the temperature of molten agar (∼45°C to 50°C). Compared to colonies that are on the surface, embedded colonies are much smaller. As a result, it is important to count them carefully to ensure that none are missed. The slower rate of growth of obligate aerobes in the agar's depth.
