Dublin, March 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Cell-Based Assays: Technologies and Global Markets" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The Cell-Based Assays Market was valued at USD 35.3 Billion in 2024, and is projected to reach USD 56.3 Billion by 2029, rising at a CAGR of 9.8%. The market's growth is propelled by multiple factors that contribute to its expansion across many sectors, particularly in drug discovery, toxicity testing, and basic research.
Cell-based assays, which utilize live cells to evaluate biological activity, are revolutionizing the life sciences industry by offering more accurate and physiologically relevant models compared to traditional methods such as animal testing. As these assays continue to evolve, they are helping to accelerate drug development processes, improving the efficacy and safety profiles of therapeutic candidates while also reducing animal testing and increasing cost efficiency.
A driver of the cell-based assay market is the increasing demand for novel drug discovery techniques. Pharmaceutical and biotech companies are investing in cell-based assays for high-throughput screening (HTS) to identify potential drug candidates, to evaluate drug efficacy, and to assess compound toxicity early in the drug development process. Compared to traditional biochemical assays, cell-based assays provide more predictive, human-relevant data, which is fundamental for the successful development of new therapeutics. As the pharmaceutical industry seeks to reduce the cost and time of bringing drugs to market, cell-based assays are being adopted as a more efficient alternative.
Additionally, the rise in chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, and neurological disorders is driving the need for more effective and targeted therapies. As these diseases continue to affect a large portion of the global population, the demand for cell-based assays in both basic and clinical research has grown. Researchers are using these assays to better understand disease mechanisms at the cellular level, to identify potential biomarkers, and to evaluate drug responses more accurately. This has led to a surge in R&D investment to advance new cell-based assay technologies.
