Cell Dissociation Market Analysis

The total worldwide R&D spending of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies increased from USD 108 billion in 2006 to USD 141 billion in 2015. Investments in R&D activities may continue to increase but at half the former pace. As per the report from India Brand Equity Foundation, it is expected that R&D expenses will reach USD 160 billion in 2020.

The biopharmaceutical industry is a rapidly developing sector within the pharmaceutical industry, with enormous opportunities and implications for healthcare. Opportunities in biopharmaceuticals have been increasing over the past decade, as a result of great effectiveness and the safety of these drugs. Biopharmaceuticals offer several benefits, such as highly effective and potent action, fewer side effects, and the potential to actually cure the diseases rather than merely treat the symptoms, which have significantly increased the demand for biopharmaceutical products.

Cell Dissociation Industry Segments

Cell dissociation refers to the act of separating adherent cell monolayers into single-cell suspensions. The cell dissociation process finds tremendous application in regenerative medicine and stem cell research. The cell dissociation products are either enzyme-based or are non-enzymatic buffers.

Cell Dissociation Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the Cell Dissociation Market according to our research experts:

Enzymatic Dissociation Products Segment is Expected to Witness a Healthy Growth

Cell and tissue dissociation, primary cell isolation, and harvesting of single cells are the principal applications for enzymes in stem cell research and cell biology studies. The use of enzymes for cell dissociation purposes is widespread. The goal of any dissociation procedure is to maximize the yield of functionally viable dissociated cells. The outcome of any dissociation procedure is dependent on (but not limited to) the type of tissue, age of animal/human, dissociation medium used, an enzyme used, enzyme concentration, temperature, and genetic modifications.

Consequently, a number of enzymes are used in research activities for various purposes. The most prominently used enzymatic dissociation products, in decreasing order of usage frequency, include trypsin, collagenase, elastase, and hyaluronidase, among others.
