The global fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) imaging systems market is expected to reach US$ 1,901.4 million in 2030 from US$ 1,084.0 million in 2022. The market is estimated to grow with a CAGR of 7.3% from 2022 to 2030.
The key factors driving the market's growth are rising prevalence of target disorders and the increasing R&D investments in in-vitro diagnostics. However, high cost of fish imaging systems and procedures is hampering the market's growth to a certain extent.
Market Opportunities of Fluorescence In-Situ Hybridization (FISH) Imaging Systems Market
FISH imaging systems are witnessing a remarkable evolution due to the surge in technological advancements, which result in cutting-edge innovations transforming the landscape of genetic research and diagnostics. These advancements include enhanced optics, more sensitive and versatile fluorophores, and sophisticated automation features. Modern FISH imaging systems, integrated with these upgraded features, offer greater sensitivity, improved image resolution, and faster processing times. Moreover, these technological advancements have extended the application scope of FISH imaging from cancer diagnosis to genetic predisposition testing. In July 2021, BioView and Capio Biosciences collaborated to create a platform for collecting circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from whole blood. By integrating their technologies, these companies further worked on improving the CTC liquid biopsy downstream analysis. Similarly, BioView and Capio Biosciences, in collaboration, partnered with RUBYnanomed in December 2020 to create a unique imaging solution to accelerate the acceptance and adoption of CTC technology in clinics to enhance cancer detection. Thus, technological advancements in FISH imaging systems create significant opportunities for companies in the fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) imaging systems market.
Factors Hampering Fluorescence In-Situ Hybridization (FISH) Imaging Systems Market
Computerized tomography (CT) scan, immunohistochemistry (IHC), bone scan, FISH imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET) scan, ultrasound, and X-ray are among the tests used to detect cancer. FISH imaging analysis is a less commonly used method in cancer detection owing to its relatively higher cost compared to other methods. In addition to the cost of equipment, the expenses associated with reagents and other consumables, and specialized personnel appointments can add to the overall cost of evaluation based on FISH imaging. For instance, the detection of ALK gene non-small cell lung cancer by IHC costs US$ 90.07 in the US and US$ 68.69 in Europe for every test, which is less than either independent or parallel testing by FISH and IHC (costing ~US$ 441.85 in the US and US$ 279.46 in Europe per test). Thus, the high cost of procedures and systems limits the growth of the fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) imaging systems market.
