Executive Summary

Cell-based assays are basically experiments used to study, analyze and understand how live cells respond to external factors. These assays are commonly used in drug discovery for validating drug targets. They are also used in lead profiling, in basic research for understanding cell signaling and function, and for ADME toxicity testing.

It has been observed that pharmaceutical R&D expenses place a significant burden on the healthcare industry because the drug discovery and development entails substantial time and resources to recognize an effective drug that can progress to clinical trial. This long process has a success rate of around 10%-12%, that is only 10% of the drugs get approval after undergoing clinical trials. So, using cell-based assays will be helpful in the initial step of drug discovery as it will help to screen the compounds. Also, with the advancement of technologies, automated processes are being used for drug screening and development purposes. Studies have indicated that using methods such as cell-based assays earlier in the drug development cycle will help in eliminating the toxic products and avoid late - stage drug failures and financial losses. Since live cells are used in cell-based assays, they are biologically more relevant and will also help in replacing animal testing.

There is a need to grow product pipelines for companies. The benefits of cell-based assays over in vivo methods have led to their increased use in drug discovery. In vitro cell-based methods also offer flexibility and cost advantages. In addition, advancements in automation and high-throughput techniques are offering support to this market.

The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, aging population and increased healthcare expenditure are driving the drug discovery market. There are many diseases that still do not have any approved therapies for cures and depend only on symptomatic management, e.g., amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, cirrhosis, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, etc. Therefore, cell-based assays will be beneficial for such indications. More research and the increasing prevalence of cancer as well as neurogenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease and other rare indications, will also be contributing factors for the market.

Personalized drug treatment is becoming a reality. In response to the rise in the incidence of a number of diseases and an aging population, the drug discovery industry is developing new and more efficacious drugs based on specific biomarker signatures. These drugs can be developed and tested to meet specific endpoints with the use of cell-based assays.
