Global Cell Sorter Market Report Segment Insights:
Based on technology, the global cell sorter market is divided into FACS-based droplet sorting, MACS, and microfluidics. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) is anticipated to have a dominant market share in this segment. FACS provides various attributes such as physical separation of cells of specific interest and quantitative recording of fluorescent signals from each cell. It is a specialized cytometry which is helpful in analyzing biomarkers and fluorophore on individual cells and then sorting them on the basis of required phenotype. It is limited in clinical applications due to its antibody-dependent technology.
Micro-electrochemical systems - Microfluidics is expected to grow at a rapid pace as it offers easy multiplexing abilities which results in low cost operations and higher throughput, hence reducing the usage of skilled labors. It operates fluids on a microscopic level to facilitate isolation of single-cell which has numerous benefits such as smaller volumes of samples and reagents required for use. It is mainly used in ‘lab-on-a-chip’ devices as microchips.
In terms of products, the market is categorized as cell sorters, reagents, and consumables. Cell sorters segment is anticipated to have a dominating market share in the forecasted period due to growing research activities worldwide and surging technological advancements in development of cell sorters. Increasing adoption of cell sorters in numerous research applications including stem cell research, immunology research, and drug discovery is propelling the growth of the cell sorting market.
In terms of applications, the market is bifurcated into research and clinical applications. The research application is the key segment possessing the higher market share in the segment. The rising adoption of cell sorters for numerous research applications and fund-raising facilities are key factors boosting the growth of this segment.
Based on End-user, the market is classified as research institutes, biopharma companies, and medical schools. The research institutions are set to have a major share in the segment in the forecasted period due to huge investments by government in the improvement of R & D for the institutes. Medical schools and academic institutions are also expected to have substantial growth as a result of rising collaborations between pharma and biotech companies.
On the basis of regions, the global cell sorter market is segmented into Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. North America is the dominant region in the segment due to increasing adoption of cell sorting technique in cancer treatment and high investments in biotech and pharmaceutical industries. Another factor responsible for the rapid growth is the sorting instruments advancements, leading to high demand in the segment. Asia Pacific is expected to have a substantial CAGR in the forecasted period owing to the increasing prevalence of cancer and HIV. As stated by WHO in 2018, occurrences of cancer in Asia was 48.4% of the global incidences. Therefore, advancements in the industries is set to boost the global market.
Competitive Landscape:
Major companies in the global cell sorter market include Becton, Dickinson and Company, Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc, Beckman Coulter, Inc, Sony Biotechnology Inc, Miltenyi Biotec GmbH, On-Chip Biotechnologies Co Ltd, Cytonome/St LLC, Union Biometrica Inc, and Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.
In April 2019, TTP, one of the leading British product and technology development company, introduced Cellular Highways in order to commercialize it Vortex-actuated Cell Sorting (VACS) technology and also fast tracked the development of Highway1 (its first launched product). TTP invested USD 2.4 million in the development funding.
