Driver: Adoption of Cell-based assays for discovery of drugs

The cell-based assays offer many advantages as compared to biochemical assays such as consistent tissue-specific responses, greater efficiency, cost effectiveness and shorter lead time. Therefore, many pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are adopting cell-based assays in place of biochemical assays for drug discovery. Cell-based assays can be used for lead identification and optimization in drug discovery process.

Restraints: High instrument cost

The technologies of high-throughput screening and high-content screening are highly costly. The cost of these technologies can increase with an increase in the complexity of a molecule to be assayed. Academic institutions can't afford to own these technologies for research due to budget constraints. In biopharmaceutical companies, cost of production increases significantly due to the adoption of such systems, maintenance charges and indirect costs.

Opportunity: Emerging markets in Asia

Asian countries such as India, China are economically emerging countries which offer significant growth opportunities to cell-based assays market. The labor and raw material cost is comparatively cheaper in these countries. The pandemic risk is also higher due to large population. Moreover, supportive government initiatives, rising focus on life science research and increasing R&D funding also attracts small and large players of cell-based assays market to these countries.

Challenge: Restrictions on reagents usage

There are many factors that restrict the growth of reagents in cell-based assays market. Product end-user license restricts the usage of reagents for specific assays only. In such case, the better reagents available in the market are not adopted even when they are of superior quality. This can pose a challenge to the growth of this market in reagents segment.
