The Macrophage Marker Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 256.2 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.5% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
The macrophage marker market comprises various products such as antibodies, ELISPOT assay kits, flow cytometry assay kits, and western blot kits that are used to identify and study macrophages. Macrophages play a vital role in innate immunity by engulfing and digesting foreign substances, cellular debris, and pathogens. Macrophage markers help in distinguishing monocytes from macrophages and analyzing macrophage polarization and subpopulations. Some commonly studied macrophage markers include CD68, CD14, CD163, inducible nitric oxide synthase, CD206, CD80, and HLA-DR.
Market Dynamics:
Increasing R&D investments in immunology and use of cell-based therapies are expected to boost the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, according to a report by National Center for Biotechnology Information, United States, the global funding for immunological research increased from US$ 12 billion in 2010 to US$ 20.2 billion in 2017. Additionally, the burgeoning application of macrophage markers in precision and individualized medicine is also fueling the market growth. Macrophage markers help in identifying potential treatment responsive populations and distinguishing disease associated macrophages from healthy macrophages. For example, targeting CD163-expressing macrophages can help in treating inflammatory diseases.
Segment Analysis
The global Macrophage Marker market is dominated by the Human primary segment which captures over 35% of the total market share. This segment is dominating as human-based research helps gain deeper insights into macrophage biology and immunology which assists in developing effective treatments for various chronic diseases.
