Immunohistochemistry Market Analysis: Growth Drivers and Opportunities
The global immunohistochemistry market is projected to reach USD 3.3 billion by 2026 from USD 2.3 billion in 2021, at a CAGR of 7.7% during the forecast period of 2021 to 2026. Market growth is largely driven by the rising geriatric population and subsequent growth in prevalence of chronic and infectious diseases, technological advancements in IHC, and availability of reimbursements for IHC tests. However, the high degree of consolidation in the by the major market players is expected to restrain the growth of this market during the forecast period.
Leading market players
The
global immunohistochemistry market is highly competitive. Prominent
players operating in the global immunohistochemistry market include F.
Hoffman-La Roche AG (Switzerland), Danaher Corporation (US), and Agilent
Technologies, Inc. (US). The key players in this market are
increasingly focusing on strategic expansions, partnerships, and product
launches and approvals to expand their product and geographic footprint
and increase market presence.
F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG (Roche) is
a global biotechnology company engaged in the development and
manufacturing of pharmaceutical and diagnostic products. The company
operates through two major divisions or segments, namely,
Pharmaceuticals and Diagnostics. The Diagnostics division consists of
the four business areas: Centralized and Point of Care Solutions,
Molecular Diagnostics, Tissue Diagnostics, and Diabetes Care. The
company provides a range of immunohistochemistry products through the
Tissue Diagnostics segment. The company has a presence across Europe,
the Middle East & Africa, North America, Asia Pacific, and Latin
America.
Danaher Corporation is a global science and technology
company that designs, manufactures, and markets professional, medical,
industrial, and commercial products and services. The company operates
through three business segments, namely, Life Sciences, Diagnostics, and
Environmental & Applied Solutions. The Diagnostics segment provides
clinical instrumentation, test consumables, and software to healthcare
professionals, and conducts its business through Core Lab Diagnostics,
Molecular Diagnostics, Critical Care Diagnostics, and Anatomical
Pathology Diagnostics segments. The company offers IHC products through
Leica Biosystems, under the Anatomical Pathology Diagnostics and Core
Lab Diagnostics segments. Products from these segments include chemical
and immuno-staining instruments; reagents; antibodies; consumables;
tissue embedding, processing, and slicing instruments; and related
reagents and consumables. Slide cover-slipping and slide/cassette
marking instruments and imaging instrumentation (including slide
scanners) are offered by the company in the field of IHC. The company
has its reach in about 60 countries and operates through 261 offices.
Agilent
Technologies, Inc. is a leading player in life sciences, diagnostics,
and applied chemical markets, providing application-focused solutions
that include instruments, software, services, and consumables for the
entire laboratory workflow in the fields of food, environmental and
forensics, pharmaceutical, diagnostic, chemical & energy, and
research. Agilent operates under three business segments—Life Sciences
and Applied Markets, Diagnostics and Genomics, and Agilent CrossLab. The
Diagnostics and Genomics segment is further segmented into six
businesses: Genomics, Nucleic Acid Solutions, Pathology Solutions,
Companion Diagnostics, Reagent Partnership, and Biomolecular Analysis.
The company offers IHC products through the Pathology Solutions
business, focused on cancer diagnostics and anatomic pathology
workflows. The company has a presence across North America, Europe, and
Asia Pacific. Major countries include the US, the UK, Australia, China,
Germany, Italy, Malaysia, Singapore, Belgium, Denmark, Japan, and the
Netherlands.
Drivers: The rising geriatric population and subsequent growth in prevalence of chronic and infectious diseases
The
increasing geriatric population in developed as well as developing
regions will positively influence the growth of the IHC market. With the
rapid growth in the geriatric population globally, the prevalence of
age-associated diseases is expected to increase significantly. According
to the OECD, the number of elderly people living in the US was ~54
million in 2019. Other developed economies around the world also have
large and growing geriatric populations. With age, the risk of
developing diseases increases proportionately. Thus, the growth in the
geriatric population is expected to increase the prevalence of various
diseases across the globe. This is considered a key factor driving the
growth of the IHC market for diagnostic applications.
Opportunities: Increasing demand for personalized medicine
Personalized
medicine for non-small-cell lung cancer patients has proven to be
extremely effective, and its use is expected to increase in the future.
Immunohistochemistry techniques support this approach to treatment
decision-making by performing the most complete and accurate
histological subtyping of tumors possible (supported by predictive
immunohistochemistry and the assessment of relevant biomarkers).
Moreover, the increased availability of immunohistochemistry assays that
detect mutant proteins (e.g., BRAF V600E and IDH1 R132H) provides a
helpful replacement and/or adjunct for molecular testing. These
techniques are highly reproducible, entail reasonable technical and
interpretation complexity, and are available at relatively lesser costs,
making them valuable novel tools in modern cancer care. The development
of multiplex and mutation-specific immunohistochemistry assays
represents important innovations, which provide improved utility in the
context of personalized medicine and targeted therapy.
