Cell-Based Assay Market Size (2023 to 2028)

According to our report, the global cell-based assay market size was valued at USD 17.84 billion in 2023. This value is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.31% to reach USD 30.48 billion by 2028.

Cell-based assays are majorly used by biotechnology companies, academic research institutes, contract research organizations, government institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and others to detect or measure the effects of a substance or treatment on the cells and are often used in drug discovery and development as well as in basic research to study cellular processes and the mechanisms of disease. The cell-based assay is a technique for examining living cells based on diverse parameters. Cell-based assays are used to determine the functions of cellular or biochemical processes. In cell-based assays, functional cells are used as analytical tools in research for novel drugs. In addition, cell-based assays ease research in immunology, stem cells, cancer, and others.

MARKET DRIVERS:

The growing drug development R&D activities, increasing adoption of technological advancements, rising demand for biological treatments, growing government funding, and increasing need for drug toxicity screening propel the cell-based assays market growth.

In the drug development process, cell-based tests are essential. However, in-vitro biochemical assays have various advantages over cell-based techniques. For example, in contrast to biochemical experiments, they provide consistent tissue-specific responses in a physiologically relevant milieu. Also, not every target for biochemical measurement can be prepared or purified, which is a significant factor restricting biochemical assay uses. As a result, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and contract research organizations (CROs) are replacing biochemical tests with cell-based assays in their drug discovery lead identification and optimization procedures.

Traditional toxicity and drug safety assessment approaches (which involve animal testing) are costly, time-consuming, and low throughput. In this way, modern cell-based assays combine the advantages of cell cultures with animal models, allowing researchers to identify problems with lead compounds earlier in the drug development process, resulting in enhanced efficiency. As a result, cell-based assays' physiological relevance has increased their popularity among end-users, as has their ability to provide efficient, cost-effective, and accelerated drug development options.

The advantages associated with cell-based tests, continuous innovation in technologically advanced products, and the goal to lower drug discovery cost further fuel the growth rate of the global cell-based assays market.

The cell-based assay market is further predicted to rise during the forecast period due to growth prospects such as untapped markets in emerging nations, increasing cell-based assays in immunology, cancer, and stem cells, and growing acceptance for label-free cell-based assays. Emerging Asian countries are projected to offer significant opportunities for companies in the cell-based assays market. In addition, low labor and raw material prices, the threat of pandemics (such as swine flu and COVID-19), growing R&D activities, and technological advancements in the end-use sectors for cell-based assays in these countries are contributing to the growth of the market.

Several Asian nations have increased their focus on life science research. For instance, in Japan, the Global Health Innovative Technology (GHIT) Fund is a public-private partnership that funds numerous R&D projects for drug discovery, including compound library screening for various infectious diseases. R&D spending for novel pharmaceutical development is a significant growth driver for the worldwide cell-based assays market. According to World Bank estimates, R&D spending in rising countries in Asia and the Rest of the World has overtaken North America and Europe. Additionally, in these nations, the growing number of pharmaceutical companies and contract research organizations (CROs)—key end-users of cell-based assays—is likely to provide prospective growth possibilities for cell-based assay producers.

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

However, the lack of skilled professionals, severe intellectual property rights, and the high cost of instruments restrain the growth of the global cell-based assays market. The reliability of cell-based assays has improved due to the high-throughput screening (HTS) and high-content screening (HCS) technologies. Furthermore, the length and price of any HTS approach are proportional to the target molecule's complexity; hence, the higher the complexity, the higher the cost. The overall cost of developing biopharmaceuticals has risen dramatically due to the employment of these expensive procedures. Academic research facilities cannot purchase such pricey tools due to funding constraints. Maintenance costs and other indirect expenses raise these instruments' total cost of ownership.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global cell-based assays market:

The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 pandemic an emergency public health hazard, disrupting numerous sectors and the medical community. Creating a coronavirus vaccine is a big challenge for pharmaceutical companies trying to stop the disease from spreading. The need for cell-based assays has increased due to a focus on creating an effective vaccine utilizing the most up-to-date techniques and making it available to the public quickly. Cell-based test approaches are used extensively in research and development to determine the structure of COVID-19 in the human body. As a result, the growth of the global cell-based assay market is expected to continue in the same direction during the forecast period.
