Growth in the Number of New Drug Discovery Initiatives Drives the High Content Screening (HCS) Market, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

GIA launches comprehensive analysis of industry segments, trends, growth drivers, market share, size and demand forecasts on the global High Content Screening (HCS) market. The global market for High Content Screening (HCS) is projected to reach US$837 million by 2020, driven by the growing focus on cell-based research, growth in the number of new drug discovery initiatives, and the introduction of advanced image analysis instruments.

High content screening (HCS), defined as the application of high content functional analysis for screening of large molecule libraries for phenotypic effects on living cells, combines the ability of cellular imaging with the efficiency of high throughput techniques for collecting quantitative data from complex biological systems. HCS systems comprise imaging-based multi-parametric analysis at the single-cell level, and enable large-scale, rapid, quantitative assessment of cellular and molecular biology procedures. The technology is used to analyze phenotypic changes in various cellular samples. The global market is witnessing rapid growth driven by growing government support to carryout cell-based research activities, demand for advanced technologies to perform cell analysis, development of advanced informatics solutions, growing demand for advanced screening systems and effective purification protocols, and the emergence of innovative instruments designed for image analysis. Increasing number of toxicity studies and the focus of research companies on studying the toxicity levels in initial drug discovery stages is driving the adoption of HCS technology. Also, increasing government support for life sciences research is encouraging market growth.

Other factors driving growth in the market include the growing need to develop new drug molecules, and rising demand for advanced cell-based imaging with a focus on cell aggregation, cell structure, and complex morphological analysis. Technology advancements, such as automated screening systems for analyzing the cell stability & separation, are also spearheading growth in the market.

As stated by the new market research report on High Content Screening, the United States represents the largest regional market worldwide. Asia-Pacific is forecast to emerge as the fastest growing market with a CAGR of 13.8% over the analysis period, led by the growing number of biotechnology establishments and contract research organizations in China and India, government initiatives in several Asian countries to support the development of advanced screening technologies, and emphasis of major research companies on outsourcing their drug discovery services to low cost Asian countries.

Major players covered in the report include BD Biosciences, BioTek Instruments Inc., Definiens AG, EMD Millipore, EVOTEC BioSystems, Evotec AG, Essen BioScience, Fluxion Biosciences, Inc., GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Genedata AG, IntelliCyt Corporation, Molecular Devices Inc., PerkinElmer Inc., Roche Applied Sciences, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., TTP LabTech Ltd., and Yokogawa Electric Corporation, among others.
