Over the years, the use of mice models has increased rapidly. Mice have become the animals of choice for preclinical research in academic institutions as well as in pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. The market has seen many innovations in the last few years, as companies have introduced new models for studying diseases like cancer and AIDS. The global market (models and services) is valued at $1,115.2 million in 2013 and is expected to reach $1,819.9 million by 2018, growing at a CAGR of 10.3% from 2013 to 2018.

This report categorizes the market into two broad segments, namely, mice models and services. By type, the market comprises of inbred, outbred, knockout, conditioned/surgically modified, hybrid/congenic, and spontaneous mutant mice. The inbred mice segment holds the largest share of 58% of the mice model market in 2013. This high share of inbred mice is attributed to their ability to reproduce the same results in different laboratories over a period of time.

The market for mice model services is segmented into breeding, cryopreservation, quarantine, rederivation, genetic testing, model in-licensing, and other services (surgical and line rescue). The breeding services market holds the largest share of the services market and is expected to grow at the highest CAGR of 15% from 2013 to 2018, to reach $521 million by 2018. The mice care products market is categorized into cages, bedding, feed, and others. The caging market accounts for the largest share of the mice care products market, growing at a CAGR of 2.8% from 2013 to 2018 to reach $67.1 million in 2018.

High investments and grants, which are leading to rising innovations in mice models, is a key factor that is likely to drive the growth of this market. In addition, the increase in the number of R&D activities in pharmaceutical industries, which are the prime users of mice models, is also responsible for driving this market. Furthermore, the high genetic similarity between mice and humans is another factor that is driving the use of mice models, globally.
