The Global Cell-Based Assay Market Size is valued at 17.79 billion in 2023 and is predicted to reach 32.28 billion by the year 2031 at a 7.81% CAGR during the forecast period for 2024-2031.
Due to factors such as the rising need for drug discovery, the increased requirement for biotechnology research, and the increasing prevalence of infectious diseases, cancer, autoimmune diseases, and genetic disorders, the market is expected to experience rapid expansion.
In the drug discovery process, cell-based assays are frequently used to validate potential drug candidates, and assays are also used for toxicity studies, cellular signaling, and lead profiling. For instance, Cell Biologics' Annexin V-Cy3 apoptosis detection kit helps with the fluorescence method of detecting apoptosis.
Major clinical trials, medication discovery processes, and research activities were all interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. To catch up on the backlog of research, numerous researchers all around the world adopted efficient and less time-consuming study approaches.
Additionally, many cell-based assays have been developed to identify COVID-19 infection. The FDA has approved a number of tests for use in emergency situations everywhere. For instance, in May 2021, the U.S. FDA approved the T-Detect COVID-19 regular T-cell test (by Adaptive Biotechnologies) for emergency use. It is an NGS-based assay that helps to identify T-cells that recognize SARS-CoV-2 antigens for verification of recent infections.

Market Segmentation:
The Cell-Based Assay market is categorized on the basis of product, application, technology, and end-user. Based on product, the market is segmented as consumables, instruments & software, and services. The application segment includes drug screening, basic research, predictive toxicology, and others. By technology, the market is segmented into flow cytometry, automated handling, high throughput screening, high content screening, and other technologies. The end-user segment includes pharmaceutical & biopharmaceutical companies, CROs, Academic research, and others.
Based On Application, The Drug Screening Segment Is Accounted As A Major Contributor In The Cell-Based Assay Market
The global industry was led by the drug discovery application category, which also contributed the largest percentage of total revenue. This expansion is attributed to the rising global demand for novel therapeutic drugs to treat a variety of diseases. A surge in therapeutic drug discovery research projects and increased market competitiveness for FDA clearances are driving the expansion of the drug discovery market segment.
Pharmaceutical & Biopharmaceutical Companies Segment To Witness Growth At A Rapid Rate
The end-user category of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical firms controlled the global market. Cell-based assays are useful in the pharmaceutical business for determining how environmental stimuli or pharmacological substances affect cellular activity in general. Cell-based drug screening assays have also been frequently used in drug development research to select promising lead molecule candidates from hundreds of chemical compound libraries. Such extensive uses of cell-based assays in the pharmaceutical sector fuel segment expansion.
In The Region, The North America Cell-Based Assay Market Holds Significant Revenue Share
The global industry was dominated by the North American continent. It is projected that the region will continue to grow steadily, keeping its top position during the forecast period. The significant research conducted in several research institutes, financed jointly by academic research institutes and pharmaceutical behemoths around the globe, is primarily responsible for the market expansion in the North American region. For instance, in April 2022, Labcorp and Xcell Biosciences, Inc., agreed to work together to promote vital laboratory research aimed at enhancing the safety and efficacy of Cell & Gene Therapies (CGTs) to facilitate the successful launch of novel CGTs into the market.
