(PharmaNewsWire.Com, July 02, 2019 ) According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Global Cell-Based Assay Market Research Report and Forecast 2019-2024”, the global cell-based assay market reached a value of US$ 14 Billion in 2018. The cell-based assay is an analytical method used to determine the concentration of a substance by observing its effects on living organisms (in vivo) or tissues (in vitro). Unlike biochemical assays, they study intact or fixed cells instead of quantifying cell lysate. They are widely utilized in sub-cellular localization, monitoring environmental pollutants and testing cytotoxicity. Apart from this, they are also employed to evaluate a vast array of biochemical, functional and biological effects including gene activation, cell signaling, cell proliferation, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), apoptosis and necrosis.
The increasing incidence rates of chronic diseases like cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases is driving the demand for cell-based assays. For instance, they are widely used for screening mutagenesis in chronic myeloid leukemia. Moreover, owing to technological advancements, they are now widely used for drug discovery and toxicology studies. The advent 3D cell-based assays is expected to create new growth opportunities for the market. Apart from this, manufacturers are continually engaging in research and development (R&D) activities to formulate safer drugs using this technique, thus further contributing to the market growth. On account of the aforementioned factors, the global cell-based assay market size is projected to reach US$ 23 Billion by 2024, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.6% during 2019-2024.
