Cell Isolation Market

Global Cell Isolation Market Size (2023 to 2028)

The size of the global cell isolation market is expected to be growing at a CAGR of 16.23% from 2023 to 2028 and worth USD 14.66 billion by 2028 from USD 6.91 billion in 2023.

Cell isolation separates cells from a diverse population of cells, cell suspension, or tissues. During the analysis of certain types of cells or cell characterization, the cell isolation technique is critical. It is used to conduct cell biology research, cell counting, and the preservation of specific cells. Individual living cells are isolated from a solid block of tissue or a cell solution in the process of cell isolation. Some types of cells are naturally separated, whereas others are present in solid tissue, requiring specialized procedures to separate them into individual cells.

MARKET DRIVERS:

The rising number of infectious disease patients, increased government support for cell-based research, a growing focus on personalized medicine, and technical improvements are majorly driving the global cell isolation market expansion.

Because of its importance, various government agencies worldwide have boosted their support for the expansion of such research initiatives. Factors driving the cell isolation/cell separation market include the rising incidence and prevalence of chronic diseases due to an aging population, the growing need for biopharmaceuticals, and increased stem cell research. In addition, the cell isolation technique is widely employed in the efficient manufacturing of various biopharmaceuticals, including recombinant proteins, biosimilars, and monoclonal antibodies, which is driving up demand for cell isolation methods around the world.

Cell therapy has a tremendous opportunity for treating a variety of diseases. For example, the rising prevalence of cancer disease has necessitated intensive diagnostic and clinical research, with human cells playing an important role. Furthermore, significant investment by key companies in the development of cancer treatments based on human cells is a significant factor driving the global cell isolation/cell separation market forward.

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

Various institutes and small-scale businesses are unable to afford expensive products due to budget constraints. This is particularly true in undeveloped nations, where a lack of technology and low healthcare spending prevent advanced equipment from being used. As a result, these countries' usage of automated kits and equipment is restricted. This is one of the primary restraints on the cell isolation instruments market's growth.

The growth of the global cell isolation market is projected to be challenged by ethical concerns about the isolation of embryonic stem cells and the high cost of cell separation tools. The lack of qualified personnel to carry out this process may potentially limit market expansion. Furthermore, ethical issues and limits on the use of cells for study severely limit cell biology research in many nations worldwide. The move from lab-based diagnosis to home-based testing, owing to increased customer awareness, lower risk of challenges, and technological developments, is expected to slow the growth of the cell isolation market.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global cell isolation market:

COVID-19 is a newly identified novel coronavirus that causes an infectious disease. COVID-19, which was primarily unknown before the outbreak in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, has gone from a regional problem to a global pandemic in a couple of weeks. The COVID-19 pandemic has provided a lucrative opportunity for researchers to explore and understand this new infectious virus and develop cures and diagnostic tools. Several pharmaceutical and biotech companies have created innovative vaccinations, treatments, and testing kits at rapid speed. Researchers can use T cells to perform a variety of infectious disease tests by isolating them. Cells implicated in the SARS-CoV-2 virus and COVID-19 disease can be studied to learn how to combat them. Infected cells are less plentiful, necessitating gentle, precise cell separation techniques to remove large quantities of viable cells. The demand for cell separation techniques in research applications has risen dramatically as a result of this.

REPORT COVERAGE:

This research report on the global cell isolation market has been segmented and sub-segmented based on product, cell type, technique, application, end-user, and region.

Cell Isolation Market – By Product:

• Consumables
• Instruments

In 2022, the consumables segment held the most significant proportion of the global cell isolation market. The expansion of this market is fuelled by companies' rising efforts in developing technologically advanced products and the more frequent usage of consumables compared to instruments.

Cell Isolation Market – By Cell Type:

• Human Cells
• Animal Cells

In the global cell isolation market, the human cell segment is expected to hold a significant share during the forecast period. Human cell therapy is a type of treatment in which living cells are injected into a patient using a cell isolation/separation technique to cure several disorders. T-cells, for example, are injected into a patient to treat cancer because they are capable of fighting cancer cells during immunotherapy. As a result, in the human cell segment, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases and technological improvement and innovation in cell isolation are the primary driving forces.

Cell Isolation Market – By Technique:

• Centrifugation
• Surface Marker
• Filtration

Based on the technique, the centrifugation segment had the largest share of the global cell isolation market in 2022. Cell isolation by centrifugation is widely employed in many laboratories and is also used clinically regularly. A significant number of cells are separated by density in the centrifugation-based cell isolation process. The most frequent technique for separating distinct components of the blood is centrifugation-based cell isolation.

Cell Isolation Market – By Application:

• Biomolecule Isolation
• Cancer Research
• Stem Cell Research
• Tissue Regeneration
• In Vitro Diagnostics
• Therapeutics

In 2022, the biomolecule isolation segment dominated the global cell separation market based on the application. The increased emphasis on biopharmaceutical production, such as biosimilars, monoclonal antibodies, and recombinant proteins, is the most significant reason for its large proportion. Additionally, increased government financing for new drug development fuels market expansion.

Cell Isolation Market – By End-user:

• Research Laboratories and Institutes
• Hospitals and Diagnostic Laboratories
• Cell Banks
• Biotechnology and Biopharmaceutical Companies

In 2022, the research laboratories and institutes segment had the highest share, which is predicted to continue during the forecast period. This is due to increased R&D initiatives by research institutes to create novel oncology and neurological medicines.

Cell Isolation Market – By Region:

• North America
• Europe
• Asia-Pacific
• Latin America
• Middle East and Africa

Because of its well-established infrastructure for life science research and a well-organized regulatory environment for firms focused on discovering novel medicines, North America is likely to dominate the worldwide cell isolation market throughout the forecast period. Furthermore, increased private and public spending on research and development would help to boost the market's growth. Because of the region's well-established healthcare system, higher acceptance of advanced technologies, rising non-communicable diseases, rise in pharmaceutical and biotech research, increased stem cell research funding, and presence of key players, North America, including the United States and Canada, is expected to be the largest market.

Due to rapidly developing economies, a growing aging population coupled with an increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases, ongoing capacity expansions by pharmaceutical and biotechnology manufacturers, and investment from government and non-government bodies in the biotechnology sector, Asia Pacific is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR. Furthermore, due to the rising pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors in emerging economies like China and India, cell separation in the Asia Pacific market is expected to increase significantly.
