The APAC cell isolation market is expected to register the fastest growth during the forecast period, owing to the high presence of clinical research organizations and biopharmaceutical companies. Developing economies, presence of giant biotechnology companies, and rise in the prevalence of chronic diseases are some of the other factors boosting the market growth in the region.

Factors Governing Cell Isolation Market

Cell separation or isolation techniques are used for the early detection of diseases and in the production of biopharmaceuticals, such as monoclonal antibodies, biosimilars, and recombinant proteins. Owing to hassle free production of biopharmaceuticals as compared to other pharmaceuticals, cell isolation is highly being used in healthcare industry. The cells are primarily obtained from human, animal, and plant sources, and hence require a more scrutinized filtration system in order to avoid contamination from viruses and bacteria. This facilitates the enhanced treatment of patients.

These biopharmaceuticals are used for the treatment of chronic diseases, mostly cancer. The high prevalence of cancer and other chronic diseases has led to an increase in the demand for biopharmaceuticals. The use of biopharmaceuticals in the early detection of cancer is gaining widespread attention in the medical industry. In addition, monoclonal antibodies are being used more commonly as these target irregular pathways and antigens that are generally present in cancers. Early diagnosis in such cases is the key to saving millions of cancer patients globally. Hereby, all these factors drive the growth of the cell isolation market.

Furthermore, the growing biopharmaceutical industry in developing nations, such as China and India, contributes as a key factor to market growth as these countries have a large population base. Thus, increased efficacy, ability to treat a wide range of diseases, and the development of the biopharmaceutical industry in the APAC countries are the major factors driving the demand for these biological structures.

Cell Isolation Market Segmentation Analysis

The consumables category led the cell isolation market in 2017 and is expected to grow faster during the forecast period. This leading position is mainly due to the requirement of various reagents, kits, media, sera, beads, and disposables for carrying out the process of cell isolation.

The human cell isolation category is expected to witness faster growth during the forecast period, owing to the advancement in stem cell technologies for the treatment of various diseases.

The centrifugation technique category accounted for the largest share in the cell isolation market in 2017. This is due to the low cost of centrifugation as compared to other techniques for cell isolation.
