Increasing Incidence of Infectious Diseases and Launch of New Products to Augment Growth of Microplate Readers Market
Microplate
readers are specialized instruments that are used to measure light intensity on
a sample of a material such as cells, bacteria, etc. The process is called
microtopography. It is a technique in which the sample is made to be scanned
with a microlight and the resulting image, the intensity of which is measured.
Usually it has been found that the best quality results come from scanning
using a microplate reader and not from a flatbed scanner. A wide variety of
microplate readers are available in the market today and they vary in price
range too.
In
general, microplate readers are extremely useful for many different assays
where there is need for high-throughput measurements in cells, bacteria, etc.
Some of the most commonly used microplate readers are glassine sheets, aluminum
oxide microplates, polyethylene microtopreses and many other types of
microplates. The main advantages of using these specialized instruments are
their sensitivity and speed. They can be very time consuming to operate but the
results are often amazing. Some of the common experimental samples where these
instruments are used include metabolite experiments, gene trapping and many
other kinds of genetic analysis.
Market Dynamics
Increasing
incidence of infectious diseases is expected to propel growth of the global
microplate readers market. For instance, globally, as of 5:10pm CET, 4 February
2021, there have been 103,989,900 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including
2,260,259 deaths, reported to the World Health Organization.
Significant
growth in the pharmaceuticals sector is expected to offer lucrative growth
opportunities for players in the global microplate
readers market. For instance, according to The European Federation of
Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations’ Key Data 2019, the pharmaceutical
sector in Europe invested US$ 19, 509 million in 2000, which increased to US$
39,895 million (est.) in 2018.
Competitive Analysis
Major
players operating in the global microplate readers market include, Thermo
Fisher Scientific, Inc., PerkinElmer, Inc., MDS Analytical Technologies,
Corning, Grenier Bio-One, Tecan, BioTek Instruments, Inc., Enzo Biochem, Inc., BMG
LABTECH GmbH Instruments, Inc., and others.
Major
players operating in the global microplate readers market are focused on launching
new products to expand their product portfolio. For instance, in November 2020,
Enzo Biochem, Inc. launched a small portable microplate reader for use with the
company’s immunoassays and, ultimately, molecular diagnostics, providing new
opportunities in point-of-care medicine.
