Impact of COVID-19

The cell-based assay market has also been impacted by the pandemic. As per World Health Organization (WHO), COVID-19 has affected millions of people, resulting in a considerable number of deaths. In response, companies have intensified their research and development efforts to create vaccines and treatments for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This research is considered critical and has remained unaffected, with operations and output continuing as before. As a result of the increase in research activities, the availability of research funding and demand for cell-based test products are expected to expand.

Companies in the industry are adapting their long-and short-term growth strategies to capitalize on opportunities in the research market by introducing innovative products to combat the pandemic. The need for COVID-19 research has created a broad scope for cell-based tests in viral infection research, vaccine development, and drug discovery.

Various COVID-19 vaccines and antiviral medications have been authorized or are under development, and patients are being treated symptomatically. The functional efficiency of the antibodies produced to neutralize the virus is assessed using cell-based assays for both vaccines and treatments. In order to reduce time and increase throughput, cell-based assays are utilized. As a result, the demand for cell-based assays to provide early indications of symptoms in patients has increased. Consequently, the overall impact of COVID-19 on the cell-based assay market is predicted to be positive.
