Live Cell Imaging Market: Overview
Live cell imaging is the use of time
lapse microscopy to study the living cells. The scientists use it to get
a better understanding of the biological functions with the help of
cellular dynamics. The live cell imaging technique is becoming
increasingly popular in the healthcare industry.
The market can be categorized by
products, by technologies, by end users and by regions. By product
types, the live cell imaging market can be segmented into instruments,
consumables and softwares. The instruments segment can be further
sub-divided into standalone systems, cell analyzers, microscopes and
image capturing devices. By technologies, the market can be segmented
into fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP), fluorescence
resonance energy transfer (FRET), high content screening (HCS),
fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), ratiometric imaging, total
iternal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TRIF), and multiphoton
excitation microscopy (MPE) among others. Furthermore, the market can be
segmented by applications into pharmaceutical industry, contract
research organization, government and academic organization and
diagnostic laboratories.
Live Cell Imaging Market: Trends and Opportunities
The rising concern of cancer is one of
the major factors behind the growth of increasing demand of this
technology. Furthermore, the government is actively taking initiatives
to fund cell based research. Moreover the live cell imaging has a wide
area of application and it can used to understand dynamic processes and
cellular structures. In addition, it can also be used to study cellular
integrity, protein trafficking, enzyme activity, localization of
molecules, exocytosis and endocytosis among others. Furthermore, the
process can also be applied to monitor the molecules in live animals.
Moreover, the pharmaceutical companies are increasingly using live cell
imaging in research and development in order to develop new medicines.
In addition, the live cell imaging is also used for high content
screening.
However, the cost of implementing live
cell imaging is very high is acting as a restraint for the market.
Moreover, the technology requires highly skilled professional in order
to study and understand the cell functions. The lack of availability of
skilled professional is also expected to restrain the growth of live
cell imaging market. However, with increasing investments in training
and development programs this factor is expected to have low impact in
the long run. In addition, the live cell imaging technique is gradually
being applied by pharmaceutical companies to develop personalized
medicine. This demand is expected to grow in future.
Live Cell Imaging Market: Geographical and Competitive Dynamics
By geography, the market can be divided
into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Rest of the world. North
America and Europe are the early adapters of technology. Furthermore,
government initiatives are being taken in this region for research and
development using live cell imaging. U.S. is the largest market for live
cell imaging in North America. However, Asia Pacific region is expected
to witness robust growth due to presence of developing nations such as
India and China.
