The cell processing instruments market size is expected to reach USD 12.49 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report "Cell Processing Instruments Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report - By Type (Cell Counters, Cell Imaging Systems, Flow Cytometers, Cell Separator Systems, Automated Cell Processing Systems, and Others), Application, End use, and Region - Market Forecast, 2025-2034" gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
The rising prevalence of chronic diseases and increasing demand for personalized medicine across the globe are expanding the global cell processing instruments market. Chronic conditions such as cancer, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders necessitate cell-based therapies like CAR-T cell therapy or stem cell therapy. Cell processing instruments play a crucial role in preparing and altering cells for these therapies. Thus, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is fueling the market.
The growing number of clinical trials for cell-based therapies is driving the global cell processing instruments market. Large numbers of cells need to be isolated, expanded, and prepared for treatment in these trials, which results in a need for high-throughput cell processing instruments that efficiently handle large volumes of cells while maintaining high quality and consistency. Therefore, as the number of clinical trials for cell-based therapies increases, the demand for cell processing instruments also increases. For instance, according to a published report, around 2,000 clinical trials for cell and gene therapies were launched globally between 2018 and 2022.
