The global live cell imaging market is expected to gain prominence over the forecast period (2018–2023). It is estimated that the global live cell imaging market is expected to grow at a CAGR ~9.0 % during the forecast period of 2018–2023.
Live cell imaging is the technique to study live cells with the help of images obtained from imaging systems such as high content screening systems and microscopes. The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and growing government funding in cell-based research are propelling the growth of this market. For instance, funding institutes such as Health Connexions, National Institute of Health, and W.M. Keck Foundation have granted funds to institutes such as Harvard School of Medicine, Perdue University, and Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering for the development of imaging technologies to be applied in the field of health, food, and environment. Furthermore, adoption of high content screening techniques in drug discovery and cell biology boosts the growth of the global live cell imaging market.
However, the lack of availability of skilled professional and the high cost of high-content screening systems may hinder the growth of the market during the forecast period.
