ELECTROPORATION INSTRUMENTS MARKET ANALYSIS

Electroporation is the microbiology technique that uses an electrical pulse to create temporary pores in cell membranes through which substances such as nucleic acids can pass into cells. Electroporation can be used for all cell types including mammalian, bacteria, algae, plant, and yeast. It uses an accurately pulsed electrical current to create temporary pores in the cell membrane through which the molecules can then pass. Some applications of electroporation include, Deoxyribonucleic acid transfection or transformation, direct transfer of plasmids between cells, induced cell fusion, trans-dermal drug delivery, and cancer tumor electro chemotherapy and gene therapy

Global electroporation instrument market is estimated to be valued at US$ 232.19 Mn in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 328.53 Mn by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.4% during the forecast period (2022-2030).

Increasing product approvals and launches are expected to drive growth of the global electroporation instruments market during the forecast period

Increasing product approvals and launches are expected to drive growth of the global electroporation instruments market during the forecast period. For instance, on April 2, 2022, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., an American supplier of scientific instrumentation, reagents and consumables, and software services announced the launch of Gibco CTS Xenon Electroporation System. The product is intended to enable the development of cell therapies. Moreover, on June 25, 2020, MaxCyte, a global clinical-stage cell-based medicines and life sciences company, announced the launched of the first product in its new and expanded ExPERT disposables line. The R-1000 cuvette can process a volume of up to one mL, or up to 200 million cells, and offers greater versatility for companies developing cell therapy drugs, as well as those advancing early drug discovery. These new cuvette designs can be used across the entire range of MaxCyte's electroporation instrumentation.

Global Electroporation Instruments Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the entire supply chain of the healthcare industry mainly due to strict lockdown in several regions. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the economy of various regions across the globe in three main ways; 1) by directly affecting the production and demand; 2) by creating disruptions in distribution channels; and 3) through its financial impact on companies and financial markets. Several countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, and Singapore are facing problems with regard to the transportation and distribution of healthcare products.  However, the COVID-19 pandemic might have a positive impact and boost growth of the global electroporation instruments market over the forecast period, owing to the use of electroporation in delivering vaccines and drugs for the treatment of COVID-19. For instance, according to an article published in Eureka, blog of Charles River Laboratories Inc., U.S., on January 13, 2021, as the race for a COVID-19 vaccine intensified, researchers began looking for better, more effective drug delivery systems. Electroporation is one such in vivo drug delivery technologies. It has been demonstrated that electroporation has a significant impact on vaccine immunogenicity and efficacy. This is due to the fact that it has the potential to increase antigen delivery by up to 1,000-fold when compared to naked DNA delivery technologies alone. The increase in antigen delivery results in a greater magnitude of immune response as well as higher response rates when compared to DNA delivery via direct injection alone.

Electroporation Instruments Market Restrains:

High cost associated with electroporation instruments, lack of skilled professionals, and stringent government regulations are expected to hinder growth of the global electroporation instruments market over the forecast period. According to the data published in Inverse Journal 2020, the electroporation instrument may cost in the range of US$ 3,000 to US$ 11,000
