Flow Cytometry Market Forecasts to 2030 – Global Analysis By Product (Reagents and Consumables, Instruments, Services and Other Products), Technology (Cell-based Flow Cytometry and Bead-based Flow Cytometry), Application, End User and By Geography

Flow Cytometry Market Forecasts to 2030 – Global Analysis By Product (Reagents and Consumables, Instruments, Services and Other Products), Technology (Cell-based Flow Cytometry and Bead-based Flow Cytometry), Application, End User and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Flow Cytometry Market is accounted for $5.17 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $10.14 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 10.1% during the forecast period. Flow Cytometry is a laser-based technique which is used to detect and analyze chemical or physical characteristics of cells or particles, which is most commonly used to evaluate bone marrow, peripheral blood and other fluids in your body. Flow cytometry is continuously going through new developments with availability of robust photo detectors and new laser emitters, use of LED lamps as emitter, and changes in analytical capacity (multidimensional analysis software).

According to a World Health Organization report, cancer became the major cause of death in 2020, with 10 million in approximation, where often cases were of breast cancer (2.26 million), lung (2.21 million), colon and rectum (1.93 million); prostate (1.41 million), skin (1.20 million) and stomach (1.09 million).

Market Dynamics

Driver

Instrumental improvements in flow cytometry technology

The development and commercialization of technologically cutting-edge flow cytometry solutions that offer streamlined workflows, simplicity of use, and quicker turnaround times is becoming the focus of major businesses operating in the global market. Especially in developed markets where the adoption rate of technologically cutting-edge items is high, such innovative products are anticipated to have significant demand rise during the projection period. For instance, CellMek SPS, a fully automated sample preparation system for clinical flow cytometry, was introduced by Beckman Coulter, a Danaher Corporation division.

Restraint

High product costs

Several flow cytometry instruments are needed by the majority of end users, including clinical laboratories, significant research institutions, and pharmaceutical corporations, in order to conduct numerous research studies at once. The capital cost of purchasing and maintaining these gadgets consequently rises significantly as a result. Additionally, the overall increase in the total cost of ownership of these instruments is brought on by maintenance charges and a number of other indirect expenses. In light of this, high product installation costs and associated costs impede the best use of flow cytometry devices in clinical and research applications, particularly in emerging nations. Furthermore, flow cytometry equipment costs more money because it has more sophisticated features and functionalities. The cost of cell sorters using flow cytometry is higher than that of cell analyzers.

Opportunity

Public-private funding initiatives in stem cell research

Global stem cell research activities are driven in part by favorable regulatory environments in developing nations, a large number of stem cell product pipelines, and an increase in the use of stem cells in the treatment of various diseases. Additionally, this is supported by the growing number of research initiatives and monetary contributions from public and commercial entities in the stem cell research sector. Three researchers from Stanford University (US) have received a USD 31 million grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (US) to begin the first-ever clinical studies using stem cells to treat heart failure, stroke, and a particular form of brain and spinal cord malignancy.

Threat

Limitations in sample preparation and handling

Sample stability is a crucial consideration. Some samples, especially certain cell types or biomolecules, may be inherently unstable or prone to degradation, leading to changes in their characteristics over time. This instability can affect the accuracy and reproducibility of flow cytometry measurements, resulting in unreliable data. Proper storage conditions, appropriate fixatives, and handling techniques are necessary to maintain sample stability, but these requirements can be demanding and time-consuming. Furthermore, the variability in sample processing techniques can introduce inconsistencies in results. Different researchers or laboratories may employ diverse protocols for sample preparation, including sample staining, cell isolation, and purification.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic had a favorable effect on the prospects for the flow cytometry business during the initial COVID-19 epidemic. The increased market share of flow cytometry reagents has increased the utilization of flow cytometry technology by boosting the use of reagents in research and clinical trials. For instance, in March 2020, Cytek Biosciences Inc. assisted scientists and doctors from all over the world in their investigation of the COVID-19 virus's effects on human immune systems. Comparing COVID-19 patients to recovered donors and healthy donors, flow cytometry revealed that COVID-19 patients had lower B-cell and T-cell frequencies.

The clinical segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The clinical segment is anticipated to have a bigger revenue share over the forecast period. The rise in cancer and infectious disease research and development, especially COVID-19, is to blame for this high percentage. Additionally, growing R&D expenditures in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors are probably going to foster a favorable atmosphere for market expansion. The launch of innovative flow cytometry technologies for clinical applications and ongoing growth strategies by key players in the market are also projected to considerably support segment growth.

The bead-based flow cytometry segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The bead-based flow cytometry segment is anticipated to experience consistent revenue growth over the course of the projection period. Growth factors, cytokines, chemokines, and phosphorylated cell signalling proteins can all be measured using bead-based flow cytometry. An ideal instrument for carrying out multiplex bead-based tests is thought to be the high-throughput flow cytometry technique. Due to developments in molecular engineering and monoclonal antibody production as well as the benefits they bring, including cost effectiveness, quick turnaround times, and micro sampling capabilities, the demand for these tests is predicted to expand significantly over the anticipated period.

Region with largest share

In the global market over the forecast period, North America is anticipated to have the greatest revenue share with high penetration of flow cytometry technologies among key end users. However, this market is still expected to offer high growth opportunities because of the expanding application areas of flow cytometry in clinical settings. Factors such as the presence of a favorable business environment, growing government support through funds and grants, the high prevalence of HIV/AIDS and cancer, the growing focus on the development of treatment options for target diseases (such as cancer and immunological disorders), and the strong presence of key players are driving the growth of the market in the region.

Region with highest CAGR

The market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to rise steadily over the course of the forecast period. Asia Pacific has been experiencing rapid development in its healthcare infrastructure, with increased investments in healthcare facilities, research institutes, and laboratories. Additionally, Global flow cytometry manufacturers are establishing collaborations and partnerships with regional players and distributors to expand their presence in the Asia Pacific market. These partnerships help in enhancing product availability, providing local technical support, and addressing the specific needs of customers in the region, which propels market growth in the region over the forecast period.
