Global Cell Sorting Market Overview
The key driver impacting the cell sorting market is the rapidly expanding pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries across the world. The rapidly growing pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries are estimated to boost demand for cell sorting techniques in drug discovery and other research applications in the coming years. For instance, As per the Biotecnika Organisation, Globally, the United States is the leading biotech player, with over 112 billion U.S. dollars of revenue, and the total market capitalization of the industry is 700 billion U.S. dollars. Indian biotechnology is growing at a high pace globally. As per the India Brand equity foundation, the Indian Biotech industry accounts for US$ 63billion in 2019 and is estimated to reach US$ 150 billion by 2025, with a 16.4% CAGR. By 2025, the Indian biotechnology industry's contribution to the global biotechnology market is likely to grow to 19% from 3% in 2017. Moreover, the growing research in cell sorting technology leading to substantial technological advancement in cell sorters is estimated to be a significant factor that adds growth to the market.
According to Value Market Research, the global cell sorting market was valued at around USD 390 million in 2020 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of about 15% during the forecast period of 2021 to 2027.
The growing prevalence of cancer and HIV is expected to accelerate the cell sorting procedures for cancer research, thus estimated to improve market demand in the forecast period. for instance, according to a WHO report, globally, cancer is the second leading cause of death and accounts for 9.6 million deaths in 2018. there are 1 in 6 deaths that take place due to cancer. as per the UNAIDS organization 2020 report, globally, around 38.0 million people were living with HIV in 2019. since the coronavirus epidemic (end 2019), approximately 75.7 million people have become infected with HIV. however, cell sorting products' high costs may hamper the global cell sorting industry in the long run. also, the lack of technical knowledge and awareness regarding cell sorters use is negatively impacting the growth of the market. the current industry trends, such as the emergence of microfluidics technology for cell sorting, and increasing research in stem cells, are expected to provide beneficial market opportunities for the market players.
The cell sorting market is vast, with many local and global players. the key leaders follow several strategies to improve their market position, such as mergers, acquisitions, expansions, product innovations, and extending product portfolio, to boost their market share globally. for instance, in 2018, Becton Dickinson Company introduced its new BD FAC Symphony S6 cell sorter to offer an enhanced cell population sorting to evaluate cell phenotypes for multi-omics immunology research purposes.
