Live Cell Imaging Market: Segments
Software segment to grow with the highest CAGR of 6.32% during 2019-30
Live Cell Imaging Market is segmented by product as equipment, consumables, and software. The greater market share of XX% in 2018 was accounted for by the equipment Live Cell Imaging segment of the Live Cell Imaging market which was followed by consumables. Microscopes, cell analyzers, image capturing systems, and standalone systems are part of the equipment segment. Consumables play a significant role in optimizing the results produced. For time-lapse imaging in which the cells are exposed for a long duration, the optimal dye, probes, and medium are critical. The strength of cells may be adversely influenced by the wrong choice of medium. Many players in the industry are active in the market, such as Thermo Fisher and Enzium Inc. The overall industry trend is shifting towards automation, systems integration, and the maximization of microscope data generation. This shift has resulted from the increasing use of live-cell imaging among cell biologists to understand the fundamental nature of cell function and structure.
Stem Cell & Drug Discovery Segment to grow with the highest CAGR of XX.X% during 2019-30
Live Cell Imaging Market is segmented by Application into cell biology, developmental biology, stem cell & drug discovery, and others. Cell biology dominated the application segment due to the rising number of researchers working on molecular interaction networks. Innovations such as filter techniques and advanced illumination devices further enable the procedure. Live-cell imaging is used by cell biologists to understand basic cellular structures and their tissue-level interaction. In order to further boost the market, advantages such as clarity of structural components and spatial heterogeneity of a cell offered by live-cell imaging are anticipated. Because of the use of live-cell imaging in observing cell embryogenesis and studying the physiological state of the cell, developmental biology has also closely followed cell biology in terms of application. It allows researchers throughout the developmental process to view the activity and proliferation of cells.
Live Cell Imaging Market: Market Dynamics
Drivers
Rising Prevalence of Chronic Disease
Global demand for live-cell imaging is largely affected by the increasing incidence of chronic diseases and the corresponding need for quick diagnostic techniques. The availability of accurate and precise live-cell imaging techniques also helps speed up the processes of drug discovery and other biotechnology research. In the future, growth in expenditure and funding for the development of advanced cell imaging is also expected to boost the market for live-cell imaging. Collaborations between market players and research and academic institutions for the development and introduction of breakthrough products have recently gained pace. In order to strengthen their stronghold in the market, small players are increasingly acquired by large incumbents for the procurement of breakthrough technologies.
Government Funding for Cell-based Research
Over the forthcoming years increasing funding for the development of efficient live-cell imaging techniques is also expected to boost the market. Over the forecast period, extensive research being carried out to develop microscopes of higher resolution is likely to boost the market. The growth of the market has been augmented by recent technological advances in microscopes. An inverted research-grade microscope, for example, has supported imaging of adherent cells and organelles and yields results of less than 5 um thickness for tissue sections. The overall industry trend is shifting towards automation, system integration, and maximizing microscope data generation. New developments also allow the cells to be imaged within a time range at spatial resolutions.
Restrain
High cost of high-content screening systems
High-content screening (HCS) tools are equipped with advanced functionalities and features and are therefore priced at a premium. As they have limited budgets, academic research laboratories find it hard to afford such high-priced tools. As they require multiple HCS systems in their R&D activities, the high price of these tools is also a concern for several pharmaceutical companies. In addition to the high cost of procurement, the total cost of ownership of these instruments is increased by maintenance costs and several other indirect costs. This is one of the major factors limiting the adoption of live cell imaging tools, particularly in emerging countries, in clinical and research applications.
