The reagents & consumables segment dominated the market with the largest revenue share of 49.0% in 2024. This can be attributed to the wide range of applications of reagents and consumables, frequent purchases, and increased demand for assay kits. Unlike other cell analysis products and services, reagents & consumables are used in different experiments and for different applications, increasing their purchase frequency. Similarly, the segment consists of a wide range of products addressing the different needs of researchers, which ensures the constant demand for these products throughout the research process, thereby contributing to the segment growth.
The service segment is expected to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period owing to the growing complexity of cell analysis techniques, which might require specialized expertise and solutions. The labs or research institutes may lack the availability of these resources thereby increasing the demand for specialized services. Similarly, the increasing number of CROs offering a wide range of cell analysis services offer alternatives for the researchers to outsource specific services as per their requirements.
The flow cytometry segment dominated the market with the largest revenue share in 2024. This can be attributed to the ability of the flow cytometry process to allow researchers to analyse a large number of cells simultaneously with multiple parameters such as size, shape, granularity, and the presence of specific molecules in or outside the cell surface. Moreover, several market players are developing solutions to enhance the flow cytometry results, which is further contributing to its growth. For instance, in November 2022, Sony Corporation announced the launch of SFA - Life Sciences Cloud Platform. This platform is a flow cytometry data analysis solution which can identify rare cells from a wide variety of cell populations with better efficiency using data obtained from flow cytometers.
The high-content screening segment is expected to witness the fastest growth with a CAGR of 11.21% over the forecast period. High-content screening goes beyond traditional cell analysis techniques by using automated image analysis, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning, enabling researchers to extract better insights. Moreover, the ability of high-content screening to analyze a large number of compound and cellular features simultaneously is anticipated to drive its demand over the forecast period.
Cell identification segment dominated the market with the largest revenue share of 4.81% in 2024.
