by Macrophage markers are cell surface proteins that are expressed on macrophages and allow the identification and selection of these cells. Macrophages play a key role in a variety of physiological and pathological processes, including initiating inflammation, contributing to tissue repair, and promoting tumor growth and metastasis. The identification and characterization of macrophage markers aid researchers in understanding macrophage biology and functions.
The global macrophage marker market has witnessed significant growth in recent times due to the expanding applications of these markers in research related to infectious diseases, allergy & asthma, atherosclerosis, transplant rejection, and cancer immunotherapy. Macrophage markers find widespread use in flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry and molecular diagnostic techniques being employed in research laboratories and medical institutes globally.
The global Macrophage Marker Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 256.2 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 10.% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
One of the major trends witnessed in the macrophage marker market is the emergence of novel macrophage markers aiding research in pathological conditions. For instance, recently identified markers like CD163, CD204, CD206, CD301 and LYVE1 are being researched for their role in identifying tumor-associated macrophages which assist in cancer progression and metastasis. These new macrophage subpopulation markers hold promising applications for tumor immunophenotyping and evaluation of therapeutic targets. Studies evaluating the diagnostic potential of chemokine receptors like CCR2 and CX3CR1 expressed on macrophages are ongoing. Advances in multiplex assay techniques are allowing simultaneous analysis of expression patterns of combinations of macrophage markers, providing more holistic insights into macrophage heterogeneity and functional specialization in contexts of health and disease.
Porter’s Analysis
Threat of new entrants: The life science and biotechnology research landscape is capital intensive, which poses barriers to entry for new players. Regulations related to clinical research also require substantial compliance investments.
