Market Trends of Cell Isolation Industry
Human Cell Segment is Expected to Hold a Significant Market Share in the Cell Isolation Market During the Forecast Period
Rising focus on human and cancer research and varied applications of isolated human cells in biopharmaceutical development, clinical trials, and research are among the major factors contributing to the largest share of the market. Favorable reimbursement policies for personalized medicine in developed countries also boost the demand for human cell isolation. The Cancer Facts and Figures 2022 published by the American Cancer Society, projected that the number of new cancer cases was 1.9 million in the United States in 2022. Thus, the increasing cancer cases are expected to increase the initiatives by the market players which is expected to increase segmental growth over the forecast period.
Various initiatives by key market players are expected to boost the market's growth during the forecast period. For instance, in May 2022, Akadeum Life Sciences Inc. announced the expansion of its cell isolation product portfolio with a new human B cell isolation product and updated protocol for its existing human isolation kits. Similarly, in April 2022, Applied Cells Inc. and STEMCELL Technologies announced their collaboration to deliver a new high-performance cell separation solution that combines Applied Cells' MARS platform with STEMCELL's EasySep immunomagnetic cell separation kits. This partnership will help researchers worldwide to automate and increase the efficiency of isolating high-quality cells from a wide range of sample types, such as whole blood, bone marrow, apheresis products, and dissociated tissue. STEMCELL's cell isolation reagents will broaden the applications of the MARS platform and support the specialized requirements of researchers who need to isolate extremely low-frequency cancer cells from human samples. Thus, factors such as initiatives by key market players are expected to boost the segment's growth.
North America is Expected to Hold a Significant Market Share in the Cell Isolation Market During the Forecast Period
The North American region is expected to occupy a significant share of the cell isolation market due to well-established pharmaceutical and biotech industries and the high adoption of technologically advanced solutions in the United States. Extensive research activities by research universities in the field of cell therapies have also created a huge demand for cell separation solutions.
The high prevalence of chronic and infectious diseases, including the COVID-19 outbreak, has led to an increase in the demand for cell isolation solutions for research and clinical applications. For instance, according to the 2021 report of the International Diabetes Federation, the number of people with diabetes living in North America and the Caribbean region is expected to increase from 50.5 million in 2021 to 63 million by 2045. Additionally, a report published by the Canadian Cancer Society in May 2022 estimated that 3,200 Canadians were diagnosed with brain and spinal cord cancer in 2022, and 1,850 men and 1,350 women were diagnosed with the disease. Thus, the demand for cell isolation products is anticipated to increase in North America for therapeutics and research purposes, fueling growth in the market studied.
The United States is expected to hold a significant share of the North American cell isolation market due to the presence of some of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the country, robust life sciences R&D infrastructure, and a high prevalence of chronic diseases in the country. In May 2022, the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) received a USD 56 million grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). The UTMB partnered with Novartis, dubbed the UTMB-Novartis Alliance for Pandemic Preparedness (UNAPP), focusing on the coronavirus, flavivirus, and henipavirus, three major classes of viruses with pandemic potential. Therefore, due to such developments, the United States is expected to hold a major share of the cell isolation market over the forecast period.
