Rising use of new healthcare technology and rising cancer incidences, create more attractive and lucrative growth prospects for the CLD market.

Key Points: 
  • Rising use of new healthcare technology and rising cancer incidences, create more attractive and lucrative growth prospects for the CLD market.
  • The expansion and growth of the biologics sector will also be a major CLD market development determinant.
  • For example, CYTENA, a BICO subsidiary, introduced a new platform for entirely automated stable cell line development in October 2021.
  • However, the high capital expenses and expenditure needed to construct research and development capabilities would be a barrier to the cell line development industry.
