The rising demand for scanning and imaging technologies in the healthcare sector is propelling the market.
Microplate is a simple glass plate, well-placed side by side in a rectangular matrix and commonly referred to as a microtiter. It is designed to hold microliter aliquots of samples used in analytical and clinical diagnostic testing laboratories. The microtiter plates are also called 96-well plates. It is designed for high throughput screening, cell culture, sample storage, and DNA extraction involving large samples.
Microplate systems are highly used in modern drug discovery and proteomic and genomic research to improve the test speed and accuracy to save time which helps researchers to work on more core tasks. This microplate offers technical flexibility to purify and extract molecules, confirm detection, and quantitative results within the same plate.
The manufacturing process for microplates is injection molding which includes materials polypropylene, polystyrene, and cyclo-olefin that have strong chemical and heat resistance. They have low extractability and biocompatibility which survive low temperatures for longer sample storage.
The COVID-19 pandemic boosted the microplate systems market due to increasing demand for effective diagnosis and sample filtration. Microplate systems are used in a variety of COVID-19 tests such as PCR (polymerase chain reaction) and ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). For instance, Dia. Pro Diagnostics Bioprobes SRL launched four EIA microplate kits to detect COVID-19 antibodies in humans and plasma. Such product development is expected to propel the sale of microplate systems.
Rising prevalence of chronic and infectious diseases across the globe is driving the need for advanced medical diagnostic systems. The growing demand for advanced medical devices is due to the rising geriatric population across the world, especially in developing countries such as India and China. This population is more prone to various health conditions, including orthopedics disorders and neurological and cardiac diseases, which is fueling the demand for microplate systems.
Rising cost of advanced microplate systems and a lack of awareness about novel techniques in developing regions are factors restraining the growth of the market. Cost is a barrier to small laboratories or facilities with limited budgets. Some microplate systems are complex to operate and maintain which can require specialized training and technical support.
Increasing government funding for laboratories is the major factor that is likely to offer immense growth opportunities in the market. Moreover, the growing need for lab testing and advanced medical devices due to the rising infectious disease and for better treatments of patients. Increasing research & development activities in the healthcare sector in developing countries and the rising popularity of automated cell-based and biochemical assays in biotechnology industries are expected to create lucrative opportunities for the market.
