Cell Isolation Market Insights, Share and Future Scope

The global cell isolation market size accounted for $4.6 billion revenue in 2017, and it is expected to attain a CAGR of 18.8% during the forecast period. The demand for cell isolation products and services is increasing due to the rise in requirement for biopharmaceuticals, growing research activities in personalized medicine, and increasing government funding for research. Cell isolation is the separation of one or multiple types of cells from a heterogenous cell population. 

It has become an integral step in biological research, and routine diagnosis and treatment of certain diseases. Some cell types, such as blood cells, naturally exist in a separated form and thus can be isolated by employing centrifugation, whereas some others exist as solid tissues that require specific techniques to isolate the individual cell type. The global cell isolation market is witnessing growth owing to the rising demand for biopharmaceutical products derived from natural sources, such as plants, animals, and humans, that are easier to manufacture than conventional pharmaceuticals.

The prevalence of neurological diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spinal cord injury, and autoimmune conditions, namely type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and Crohn’s disease is rising. This, coupled with the increasing awareness about these diseases, is impelling the governments of many countries to invest in biomedical research and related technology, thus giving a boost to growth of the cell isolation market and biopharmaceutical production as well.

Among these, the biomolecule isolation subdivision held the largest market share in terms of revenue in the historical period (2013–2017) due to the rising focus on biological compounds. The technique segment is further classified into surface marker, centrifugation, and filtration. During the forecast period, the surface marker classification is expected to be the fastest growing in the cell isolation market with a CAGR of 19.6%. The surface marker technique, because of its non-dependency on the cell density and size, is preferred more over filtration and centrifugation techniques.  

Hence, the market is expected to grow due to advancements in cell processing technologies and increasing biomedical research.
