Market Growth Factors
The increase of chronic disorders like cancer, diabetes, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and cardiovascular diseases, is expected to propel the global cell counting market. For illustration, the count of HIV-affected individuals neared 39.9 million at 2023's close. Across the globe in 2023, 1.3 million new HIV infections occurred. Cell counting is an important method for diagnosis. Cell counting is an important method for monitoring the effects of therapy. Cell counting is an important method for assessing the mechanisms of a disease or disease treatment. The specific growth of the market is expected to be helped by high-throughput cell counters and modern flow cytometry. In May 2023, Sysmex Corporation launched systems and reagents that will improve the clinical efficiency of the flow cytometry method. This launch will enable the standardization of testing and allow clinical technologists to concentrate on more complex tests, potentially increasing market uptake. There has been an increased investment into pharmaceutical, biotechnology and cellular research and development, as well as cell research more generally, with greater regulatory encouragement, such as the US FDA's approval in August 2023 of Abbott Laboratories' Alinity h-series hematology system. In addition, investment in regenerative medicine, financial support by governments for life sciences, and increased usage of automated cell counters in clinical short- and long-term research and academia support the growth of this market.
