The global biological stains market is expected to grow during the forecast period (2018–2023) at a CAGR ~7.1%.
Stains provide contrast to the object which makes it easy to examine. Stains are used to determine chemical, structural and physiological characteristics of the object. It has applications in molecular biology, biochemistry, microbiology as well as it is used for diagnostic purpose. The rising number of healthcare and life sciences research activities, increasing commercial use of stains and increasing applications of stains in diagnostics are expected to drive the growth of the market. Moreover, a growing number of diseases such as tuberculosis are contributing to the growth of the market. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), In the year 2016, more than 10.4 million tuberculosis patients were present in the world, and 1.7 million deaths occurred due to tuberculosis in the year 2016.
The high cost of biological stains and issues related to contamination may hamper the growth of the market during the assessment period.
