CELL-BASED ASSAY MARKET ANALYSIS

Cell-based assay refers to experiments based on living cells and is an influential tool in the research lab. Cell-based assays are vital for understanding cellular mechanism in a biological context as these assays provide information about intracellular molecular targets. There are variety of assays used to measure motility, toxicity, cell proliferation, production of a measurable product, and morphology. Cell-based assays provides accuracy in obtaining the data of various parameters of the real-life model as live cells are used, cell-based assays are now used in drug discovery and checking the toxicity of new or old drugs used by population. With the rapid growth of pharmaceutical and biotechnological sector worldwide and emerging development of new drugs, the demand for cell-based assay is expected to witness a rapid increase. Companies are adopting the cell-based assay order to reverse the costly late-stage drug failure and thus the rising surge of cell-based assay is expect to have a positive effect on market growth in near future.

Cumulative growth in drug discovery is expected to boost cell-based assay market in forecast period

Rapid growth in drug discovery is expected to increase the demand for cell-based assay as it is mainly used in checking toxicity of drugs. For instance according to FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) in 2016, CDER approves averagely 30 novel drugs per year and the development of novel drug discovery is expected to increase in future. Many companies are involved in the drug discovery needs cell-based assay for testing new drugs that is expected to boost the cell-based assay market in forecast period. Since pharmaceutical market have become a billion-dollar business, many pharmaceutical and biotechnological companies are adopting cell-based assay in order to reduce the chances of failure of batch which lead to a high loss to company. Thus, the adoption of this method by companies is expected to fuel its market in near future. However, high maintenance, need for skilled personnel and high-cost of operation for the cell based assays are expected to hinder the market growth.
