Biological Stains Market Share

Biological Stains Market Scenario

The biological stains market is expected to grow during the forecast period (2023–2030) USD 10.38 Billion at a CAGR ~7.80%. Stains provide contrast to the object which makes it easy to examine. Stains are used to determine chemical, structural and physiological characteristics of the object. It has applications in molecular biology, biochemistry, microbiology as well as it is used for diagnostic purpose.  The rising number of healthcare and life sciences research activities, increasing commercial use of stains and increasing applications of stains in diagnostics are expected to drive the growth of the market. Moreover, a growing number of diseases such as tuberculosis are contributing to the growth of the market. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), In the year 2016, more than 10.4 million tuberculosis patients were present in the world, and 1.7 million deaths occurred due to tuberculosis in the year 2016.

The high cost of biological stains and issues related to contamination may hamper the growth of the market during the assessment period.

Regional Market Summary

Biological Stains Market Share, by Region, 2017 (%)

Source: MRFR Analysis

The Americas are likely to dominate the biological stains market owing to the rising prevalence of infectious diseases, increasing use of stains in food testing, and the presence of a well-established healthcare system. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in the US, approximately 16.8 million patients visited physicians for the treatment of infectious diseases in the year 2015.

The European market is expected to be the second-largest biological stains market. The market growth in this region can be attributed to the increasing number of academic and research institutes in the region and with-it rising demand for biological reagents for research and academic purpose. Moreover, awareness about diagnostics and increasing expenditure on diagnostics are contributing to the growth of the market in this region.

Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing biological stains during the forecast period owing to the increasing government support, rising investments in healthcare and the presence of well-established pharmaceutical market in the region. According to a report published by Australian Trade and Investment Commission, The Australian Government has spent more than USD 464.2 million on healthcare research and development in the year 2015.

The market in the Middle East & Africa is expected to account for the smallest share of the biological stains market due to an underdeveloped healthcare sector and lack of technical knowledge.
