Market Challenges And Opportunities

Global Cell Lysis Market: Restraint

The major factor that hinders growth of the global cell lysis market is high cost of cell based research. High cost of cell based research, owing to high expenditure in research and development for CAR-T cell therapy may hamper the growth of market. For instance, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy tisagenlecleucel (Kymriah) of Novartis AG, a global healthcare company, which is priced at US$ 475,000 for single infusion for pediatric and young adult patients with B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Moreover, this cost does not include pre-infusion treatment costs, drug administration costs, hospitalization costs, and costs associated with adverse events and follow-up care.

Global Cell Lysis Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to over 100 countries across the globe and the World Health Organization had declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.

COVID-19 has affected the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting production and demand of drugs and vaccines by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to nationwide lockdowns, several countries, such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, and others, are facing problems with regard to the transportation of drugs and vaccines from one place to another.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the global cell lysis market, owing to increased research and development activities for developing treatment options for the COVID-19 infection and because of the application of cell lysis in real-time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests. Lysing enzymes are used to open up the cell to obtain DNA along with other macromolecules for genetic experiments. Cell lysis can help to study the proteins, DNA and other organelles of the cell, due to which it can be used to study the features of the virus and guide the researchers develop an appropriate treatment to fight against the virus.

Global Cell Lysis Market: Key Developments

In May 2022, Tethis S.p.a., a privately held company focused on bio and nanotechnology fields to develop and commercialize in vitro diagnostic devices, announced the release of See.d, the first universal blood sample preparator for liquid biopsy analysis. All sample preparation steps of See.d blood sample preparator are automated: separation of plasma from the cellular fraction, red blood cells lysis and removal, white blood cells dispensation and fixation on SBS slides, and plasma recovery in tubes.

In November 2021, One BioMed, a molecular life science company, announced the launch of the Xceler8 platform for high-yield extraction and purification of nucleic acids from biological samples. Pre-filled with all the necessary reagents, X8 cartridge kits, powered by the one-touch instrument and its touchscreen tablet, automates all nucleic acid extraction steps, including cell lysis, capture, washing and elution in about 30 minutes.

High prevalence of infectious diseases and cancer are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.

Rising prevalence of cancer is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period. Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer in the U.S., after skin cancer. Breast cancer can occur both, in men and women. However, it is mostly found among females and the male occurrence of breast cancer is very rare. For instance, according to the data provided by Breastcancer.org, in March 2022, an estimated 287,850 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women in the U.S., along with 51,400 new cases of non-invasive (in situ) breast cancer in 2022.
