High Content Imaging Market Outlook
The global high content imaging market size was estimated at USD 831.7 Mn in 2021 and is anticipated to reach USD 2,001.0 Mn by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 10.5% during the forecast period, 2022-2030.
High content imaging is a highly automated three-step method that is used to significantly boost imaging throughput and quantification. These three steps are: Image Acquisition, Image Processing and Image Analysis. It uses fluorescent detection, multiparameter algorithms, automated microscopy, and automated microscopy to observe & measure the interaction of therapeutics in cell populations.
In it each cell in an array is examined at a sub-cellular resolution using multicolored fluorescence-based reagents for both specificity and sensitivity. High levels of computer-driven automation are linked to each stage, enabling users to speed up repetitive tasks and remove human bias from the workflow. Tera-bites of captured data are collected, processed, and analyzed in a matter of minutes with little assistance from humans.

Governments across the globe are investing in the medical technology industry to increase real per capita healthcare spending. The medical technology industry is an essential component of the healthcare industry. Healthcare expenditure plays an important role in providing opportunities for maintaining health. It strengthens human capital and improves productivity, thereby contributing to economic performance. The medical technology industry registered an average global investment rate (R&D spending as a proportion of sales) of 8% in 2018.
High Content Imaging Market Dynamics
Major Drivers
Development of novel therapeutics against the SARS-CoV-2 virus
High-content imaging has been used as an efficient tool in identifying new lead compounds for antiviral drug development. Several high-throughput assays were developed and utilized during the early COVID-19 outbreak to scan collections of approved and investigational drugs in order to find possible anti-SARS-CoV-2 compounds.
A panel of assays was developed and used to screen collections of approved and investigational drugs for anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) activity in a quantitative high-throughput screening (qHTS) format in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Prulifloxacin, tegobuvir, bictegravir, and nelfinavir have been identified by high-throughput screening (HTS) for drugs against 3CLpro.
Rising need for cost containment in pharmaceutical research and development
Drug development is a lengthy, complex, and costly process with a high degree of uncertainty of success. Pharmaceutical companies are being forced to reevaluate their R&D spending, due to the high cost and protracted nature of drug development. Toxicology studies are conducted by screening huge libraries for possible drug candidates. This approach is costly, and time- and resource-consuming, and it has a poor success rate.
High-content imaging solutions are used for testing the potential toxicity of chemicals and complex substances and are being adopted by pharmaceutical companies to advance in-vitro toxicity testing, which reduces the time and cost. This is expected to fuel the high-content imaging market during the forecast period.
Restraints
High Content Imaging should be ingested sparingly, as their excessive consumption can have negative effects on some people. High Content Imaging have negative health effects such as allergies, gastrointestinal problems, and an increase in insulin levels. High Content Imaging are anti-arrhythmic, which require patients to take a doctor’s approval before consuming High Content Imaging.
Excessive consumption of High Content Imaging can lead to calcification in the bones and other parts of the body. High Content Imaging overheat the body. Pregnant women are advised to avoid the consumption of an excessive amount of High Content Imaging to avoid any harm to the unborn child. Thus, side effects & allergies associated with the consumption of High Content Imaging can restrain the market.
Emerging Opportunities
High-content screening (HCS) is a well-established approach for the multiparametric analysis of cellular events. High-content imaging systems have evolved with many improvements to meet user demands of high flexibility and the growing requirements of assays involving complex cellular disease models.
Molecular Devices, LLC launched its next-generation, high-content imaging system, the ImageXpress Confocal HT.ai High-Content Imaging System, which is designed to help researchers advance phenotypic screening of 3D organoid models. Thus, technological advancements in high content imaging are expected to create opportunities for the market growth over the forecast period.
