These advancements attract attention from clinicians, industries, and researchers as they seek reliable and high-throughput cell analysis tools. The tools comprise accessories and consumables required to conduct the counting process.

The continuous utilization and essential nature of consumables such as counting chambers, sensor cassettes, calibration standards, and reagents in routine laboratory operations propel the growth of the accessories and consumables segment. The increase in emphasis on standardizing laboratory procedures and maintaining quality control measures contribute to the high demand for consumables & accessories. Owing to these factors, the accessories and consumables segment is projected to hold absolute revenue growth of $4,435.8 million by 2032.

AI-driven automated cell counting system is a game changer in the diagnostics sector

AI has transformed cell counting, a vital process in fields such as medicine, environmental monitoring, and research. Traditional manual methods, such as using a hemacytometer, are time-consuming and susceptible to human error. To tackle these issues, researchers have discovered AI-based automated detection techniques. These methods rapidly and precisely predict cell counts and segment cell distribution contours.

In addition, AI-based approaches offer visual feedback vital for comprehending cell morphology and achieving remarkable precision in cell count predictions. For instance, AICellCounter is a machine learning-driven automated cell detection and counting tool known for its speed, simplicity, and effectiveness, requiring only one sample image with a small number of labelled cells for training. Notably, it performs on standard computers without GPUs, features a simple structure, and sets parameters to streamline user adoption.

Evolving landscape of the Asia-Pacific cell counting sector

The Asia-Pacific cell counting industry has experienced significant expansion due to several factors, such as surge in healthcare expenditures, rapid technological advancements, and rise in population. Particularly in countries such as India, Southeast Asian nations, and China, the increase in incidence of chronic diseases and infectious conditions has led to a surge in demand for accurate diagnostics and advanced medical technologies, including cell counting methodologies.

Moreover, the growing biopharmaceutical industry in the region, along with a strong emphasis on drug development and innovative therapies has heightened the adoption of cell counting techniques. Initiatives focused on improving healthcare affordability and accessibility, coupled with the incorporation of digital solutions into cell counting devices, foster the growth of this sector across the region. Among the emerging economies in Asia-Pacific, China is expected to manifest a notable CAGR of 10.1% during the forecast period.

Leading players contributed to the cell counting sector’s expansion by adopting novel strategies

The global cell counting industry is competitive, and frontrunners are engaged in strategic alliances to lead their supremacy in the sector. Government and private entities heavily invest in R&D to discover new products with advanced features. For instance, CytoSMART Technologies launched the CytoSMART Exact FL, its inaugural fluorescence cell counter. This dual fluorescence automated cell counter has an expanded field of view and high precision.

Similarly, in September 2020, DeNovix introduced EasyApps Secure, a software option ensuring compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 regulations and is designed for CellDrop Automated Cell Counters. This new suite of controls in the EasyApps software allows regulated laboratories to securely produce accurate results. Notably, it is fully integrated within the onboard operating system of CellDrop, eliminating the need for additional PCs or laptops in the lab.

To conclude, the global cell counting industry has experienced growth due to factors such as surge in funding for cell-based research, an increase in incidence of infectious & chronic diseases, and technological advancements in cell counting equipment. However, growth avenues from emerging economies are expected to offer remunerative growth opportunities for the sector in the future.
