DRIVER: Technological advancements in single-cell analysis products

Players operating in the single-cell analysis market increasingly focus on developing more economical, technologically advanced, and easy-to-use instruments. For instance, in February 2024, 10X Genomics launched the GEM-X technology, next generation of its single-cell technology architecture that will power new assays of its Chromium platform. Chromium GEM-X Single Cell Gene Expression v4 and GEM-X Single Cell Immune Profiling v3 assays are the first two products to use 10X Genomics’s new GEM-X technology architecture. Similarly, in April 2023, Standard BioTools launched a new imaging technology, the Hyperion XTi Imaging System, during the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) meeting in Orlando.

RESTRAINT: High cost of single-cell analysis products

Cell biology involves extensive research on the development of new therapies, such as stem cell and gene therapies. The instruments, reagents, and other products associated with these research activities are required to be of high quality to obtain accurate results. The use of advanced single-cell analysis techniques is largely dependent on the cost of instruments. Flow cytometers, microfluidic devices, and high-content screening systems equipped with advanced features and functionalities are generally priced at a premium. Advancements in various instruments have led to higher prices than previous-generation instruments due to their expensive development process. For instance, the price of ATTUNE NxT Flow Cytometer Invitrogen offered by Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. is USD 30,000 each. Similarly, the price of SMARTer ICELL8 cx Single-Cell System offered by Takara Bio Inc. is USD 17,995 each.

OPPORTUNITY: High growth potential of single-cell sequencing

Single-cell sequencing (SCS) helps researchers to understand cellular heterogeneity and transcriptional randomness. Advancements in single-cell sequencing helps to improve detection and analysis of infectious disease outbreaks, antibiotic drug-resistant strains, and microbial diversities in the environment. As single-cell sequencing technology provides detailed information about genetic mutations, companies are focusing on development of instruments and reagents that are suitable for single-cell sequencers. For instance, Illumina, Inc. (US), one of the major players in the single-cell analysis market, offers integrated ultra-low-input and single-cell RNA sequencing workflows (with the SMARTer Ultra Low Input RNA Kit by US-based Clontech Laboratories Inc., combined with the Nextera XT DNA Library Preparation Kit and Illumina sequencing technology) that help in the simplification of the entire process, from library preparation to data analysis and biological interpretation. Considering the high-growth potential of this segment, several advanced SCS instruments are expected to be developed and launched in the market in the coming years.

CHALLENGE: Technical challenges associated with single cell analysis

Despite varied applications and advantages of single-cell analysis, it may sometimes show irregular results as a result of technical limitations associated with the single-cell analysis technique. Some of the technical limitations associated with single-cell analysis include technological biases and amplification errors. Technological biases such as amplification biases and batch effects can affect the results of single-cell analysis. Amplification steps in single-cell analysis may introduce biases, leading to the uneven representation of transcripts and potential distortion of gene expression profiles. Also, Variability between different experimental batches can impact the reproducibility and comparability of single-cell datasets. Therefore, technical challenges associated with single cell analysis are expected to affect the growth of the single-cell analysis market.
