ATP Assays

ATP Assays

ATP assays are essential tools for studying cellular metabolism, evaluating cell viability, assessing drug efficacy, and measuring microbial contamination. These assays typically involve the use of luciferase enzymes that catalyze the reaction between ATP and luciferin, resulting in the emission of light. The amount of light produced is directly proportional to the ATP concentration in the sample, allowing for quantitative measurements. The increasing research and development activities in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, along with the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases are driving the growth of the ATP assay market.

ATP Assays Market is expected to grow at a strong CAGR of 8% during the forecast period (2023-2030) owing to the rising geriatric population and the high sensitivity of the population towards contaminants. For instance, according to World Health Organisation, by 2030, one in six people in the world will be over the age of 60. By then, the share of the population aged 60 and over will increase from 1 billion in 2020 to 1.4 billion.
