Cell Surface Markers Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast upto 2018 A new Transparency Market Research report states that the global cell surface markers market stood at US$13.2 bn in 2012 and is predicted to reach US$23 bn by 2019. It is predicted to expand at a CAGR of 8.10% from 2013 to 2019. The title of the report is “Cell Surface Markers Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2012 - 2018.� Cell surface markers are proteins expressed on the cells’ surface and often serve as markers of particular cell types. Cell surface markers are usually molecules or antigens inside the plasma membrane of the cell. These markers are the chief components in the categorization and identification of cells including macrophages, lymphocytes, tumor cells, monocytes, and other cells primarily related to immunology. Cell surface marker analysis can allow simplification of disease identification and diagnosis, drug discovery, and sample preparation. This analysis can take place with different samples, including blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes, and other tissues. As per the report, the increasing utilization of in vitro diagnostics, the rising automation in laboratories, the reduction in the cost of diagnosis, and the requirement for lowering healthcare expenditures globally are amongst the chief factors stimulating the market for cell surface markers.
