Single cell analysis plays an important role in genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics and epigenomics at the single cell level. It provides an ultra-sensitive tool to explicate specific molecular mechanisms and pathways and reveal the nature of cell heterogenecity. Hospitals, academic and government bodies, as well as pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are mounting their focus on using cell analysis as a prevailing tool in research, drug discovery and diagnosis. The cell analysis market is mainly segmented into consumables and instruments. The consumables include reagents, assay plates and microplates. The instrument segment comprises of microscopes, flow cytometer, spectrophotometer, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QPCR), microfluidic devices, cell counters, high content screening (HCS) systems and cell microarrays.

Among the cell analysis products, the consumables market dominated the instruments market by occupying a largest share of more than 60%. However, the cell analysis instruments market is expected to grow at the highest CAGR. Geographical wise North America is the largest market, followed by Europe and Asia. The APAC regions suggest an array of opportunities for growth and are likely to be getting into the eyes of new investors in the cell analysis market. Growth in the Asian market is attributed to government for its support in establishing innovative screening technologies and increasing demand for outsourcing of drug discovery services.

The cell analysis market is expected to grow steadily in the forecast period. The major factor driving the growth is improved accuracy of cell imaging and analysis systems which in turn reduce time and cost of drug discovery process. In addition, the factors like increasing prevalence of cancer, getting help from the government bodies in the form of investments, funds and grants, improved informatics services, availability of better reagents and image analysis instruments are propelling the growth of the market. However, the major market restraints include enormous capital investments and shortage of skilled labor for high content screening procedure. The biggest opportunities for this market is the growing APAC market, high content screening services provided by CRO's, automation in cancer research for its early detection and reducing cost of the cancer treatment.

The global cell analysis market is a highly competitive market and all the existing players in this market are involved in developing new and advanced products to maintain their market shares. The key players in the global cell analysis market include Beckton Dickinson and Company, Danaher Corporation, Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., Agilent Technologies, Inc., GE Healthcare, Merck KGAA, Olympus Corpopration, Perkinelmer, Inc., Promega Corporation.
