Cell counting refers to the quantitative assessment and enumeration of cells within a biological sample, employing various methodologies and instruments to determine the concentration, viability, proliferation, or specific characteristics of cells present. According to BlueQuark the Global Cell Counting Market is expected to grow considerably during the forecasted period. Factors such as the rapid technological development of equipment and cell-counting reagents have resulted in more product innovation and increased sales and production, which are expected to drive the market in the forecasted period. Further, the rising incidence of chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and infectious diseases is anticipated to drive the Cell Counting Market in the forecasted period. Furthermore, continuous technological advancements have resulted in the development of innovative cell-counting devices with improved accuracy, precision, and ease of use, which is expected to drive the market in the forecasted period. However, the need for experienced professionals, the high cost of sophisticated cell counting technologies, and haematology analyzer product recalls are expected to restrain the Cell Counting Market in the forecasted period.

The instruments segment is expected to hold a significant share over the forecasted period due to factors such as the increasing usage of cell counters in various applications like research, diagnostics, and industrial. Cell counting instruments are increasingly being adopted in multiple research areas, such as cancer biology, immunology, and neuroscience, which displays exponential growth opportunities for the market segment. Cell counting helps identify and determine primary, circulating, and metastatic tumours, which are critical for disease monitoring and therapeutic targeting. Moreover, they are widely used in cancer research to regulate intra-tumour heterogeneity, which is essential for determining cancer progression. It is predicted to witness exponential growth as blood cell counting is imperative for assessing various diseases, and its adoption is anticipated to increase over the forecasted period. Cytometers find applications in measuring parameters like physical properties, type, and lineage, which researchers use to study the progression of pathogens, viruses, and other bacteria. Strategic activities by market players further drive the fragment. Cell counting is a vital aspect of checking the capability of any biological product. These devices determine the number of cells in a particular culture solution, which is added to the bioreactors to achieve the desired product. The increasing need for biologics produced through bioprocessing in these bioreactors is anticipated to increase device demand. The significant investment in research drives the demand for precise cell counting technologies, increasing adoption of cell counting for quality control, ensuring the efficacy and safety of pharmaceutical products, and biotechnological advancements. In addition, continuous innovation in pharmaceuticals and biotechnology drives the demand for precise cell-counting technologies, crucial for drug development and research. Therefore, due to increasing adoption in various research areas, such as immunology, cancer biology, and neuroscience, and increasing initiatives from the key market players to launch advanced cell counter devices, the instruments segment is expected to experience growth over the forecast period.

North America holds a vital market share and is expected to do the same in the overall cell counting market throughout the forecast period. The large market share is primarily due to the fact that there are more patients, more healthcare settings are using high-throughput flow cytometry and automated haematology analyzers, and key players are based in the region. The growing prevalence of various chronic ailments, such as HIV-AIDS, leukaemia, cancer, Alzheimer's, etc., is propelling the demand for cell counting techniques. Moreover, the growing adoption of cell counting instruments across diverse medical fields, like molecular biology, pathology, immunology, etc., for developing next-generation therapeutics is also augmenting the market growth. In addition, the increasing utilization of cell counting for identifying and determining primary, circulating, and metastatic tumours is further bolstering market growth. The widespread adoption of stem cell therapy also propels the demand for cell counting instruments globally. In line with this, the rising awareness of the numerous benefits of cell counting techniques in immunophenotyping, cell sorting, cell proliferation assays, and intracellular calcium flux further drives the market growth.

Moreover, the increasing investments by several government bodies in extensive R&D activities related to biotechnology, oncology stem cell therapeutics, etc., also bolster cell counting techniques' adoption. The exponential growth results from the rising need for massive production of human stem cells for research applications and clinical. Stem cells are highly imperative in regenerative medicine, cancer therapy, and transplantation. Automated devices facilitate the exact determination of stem cell viability and concentration of nucleated cells in cord blood or human bone marrow. In addition, fluorescence imaging is increasingly being used to quantify GFP efficiency for transfecting stem cell applications. Moreover, the cell counting market has expanded significantly in emerging markets due to healthcare infrastructure development and increased research and development activities. Rapid urbanization and economic develop in countries such as India and China have created substantial opportunities for cell counter manufacturers to cater to the needs of these growing markets. 

The market players are ThermoFisher Scientific, Inc., Merck KGaA, Agilent Technologies, PerkinElmer, Inc., and Danaher Corporation.

In May 2023, Abbott announced a series of new programs within its multi-million-dollar initiative to increase diversity in clinical trials and develop care among under-represented populations. The latest additions to Abbott's Diversity in Clinical Trials initiative build on the partnerships, scholarships, and the focus on diversified participants in the company's clinical trials during the first year.
