Single Cell Analysis Market Size, Trends

Single Cell Analysis Market Statistics, 2031

The global single cell analysis market size was valued at $2.64 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $13.62 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 17.8% from 2022 to 2031. Increase in demand for single cell analysis is anticipated to increase globally during the forecast period, owing to technological advancement in single cell analysis coupled with increase in R&D in pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry whci also boost single cell analysis market growth.

Single Cell Analysis Market

Single-cell analysis (SCA) is of critical importance in revealing population heterogeneity, identifying minority sub-populations of interest, as well as discovering unique characteristics of individual cells. Microfluidic platforms of single cell analysis work at the scale comparable to cell diameter and are suitable for single-cell manipulation. A microfluidic trapping array which is able to rapidly and deterministically trap single-cells in highly-packed microwells. As the single-cell trapping efficiency is determined by the channel design instead of the flow rate, this trapping array can be coupled with different microfluidic sample processing units with different flow rates for various single-cell analyses. In addition, SCA is widely applied to immunology, microbiology, neurobiology, prenatal diagnosis, embryogenesis, and plant biology.

Growth in stem cell research, rise in focus on personalized medicines and surge in prevalence of cancer further drive the growth of market. However, high cost of single cell analysis products is anticipated to hamper the market growth. Conversely, high growth potential of single cell sequencing is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for the key player in the market during single cell analysis market forecast.

Impact of COVID-19 on Single Cell Analysis Market

Coronavirus (COVID-19) was discovered in December 2019, in Hubei province of Wuhan city in China. A virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, causes the disease (SARS-CoV-2), which transmitted among humans. The disease rapidly spread to other parts of the globe post its discovery in Wuhan. Moreover, this virus causes various symptoms in patients, which range from common symptoms to serious symptoms. For instance, common symptoms include fever, dry cough, and fatigue. However, serious symptoms include difficulty in breathing or shortness of breath, chest pain, and loss of speech or movement. Furthermore, the virus has high potential of lethality in geriatric population.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared it as a pandemic. In addition, there are only a few vaccines that received emergency approvals for COVID-19 prevention. Thus, social distancing is observed as the most important measure to limit the spread of this disease. Furthermore, to maintain social distancing in various countries across the globe have led to adoption of lockdowns. The COVID-19 outbreak had a positive impact on the single cell analysis industry. Governments all over the world have increased financing for vaccine development and manufacturing as a result of the pandemic's economic and social costs, which has led to an increase in the usage of single-cell analytic tools for COVID-19 research. Although the government imposed a number of restrictions that had an impact on overall production and sales, the demand for single-cell analysis products surged.

A deeper comprehension of the host immune response during illness progression is essential in order to more accurately construct prognostic and diagnostic indicators and establish suitable therapeutic approaches for patients with severe disease presentation. Researchers can gain a better understanding of immune cells at the single-cell level and how functional cells contribute to immune protection by using the single-cell analysis, how the development of more efficient vaccines and immunotherapies is made possible by understanding how functioning cells contribute to immune protection and disease.

Therefore, the market is anticipated to have significant possibilities for growth during the pandemic and provide single cell analysis market opportunity, owing to increase in product demand and continuous research activities (by examining the application of the single-cell analysis approach in the SARS-CoV2).
