Furthermore, factors such as rising demand for proteomics and genomics research, increasing demand for biologics, rapid adoption of single-cell analysis, growing use of precision medicine and rising demand for regenerative medicine favor the cell signaling market growth.
Stringent regulations that govern the development and sale of new cell signaling products and the high cost of research and development primarily hamper the market’s growth rate. Limited understanding of cell signaling pathways, the scarcity of highly skilled professionals with expertise in fields such as biochemistry, cell biology, and molecular biology and competition from existing therapies hinder the market growth. Limited reimbursement policies for new cell signaling therapies and diagnostics in some countries and ethical concerns associated with cell signaling therapies further impede market growth.
The COVID-19 pandemic has shown a mixed impact on the cell signaling market. On one side, restrictions on patient recruitment and limited access to healthcare facilities have been raised during the COVID-19 pandemic and resulted in delayed clinical trials. In addition, the cell signaling market participants have faced significant difficulties in obtaining what is required for the research and development of cell signaling therapies and products and this has resulted negatively in the market growth. The economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has also impacted the cell signaling market unfavorably. On the other hand, the demand for better treatments and diagnostics for infectious diseases has fuelled the R&D of cell signaling and favored market growth. In addition, the shift towards digital technologies for conducting research and clinical trials and the urgent need for vaccines and antiviral therapies for COVID-19 have shown a positive impact on the market growth. Likewise, the global cell signaling market has had a mixed impact from the COVID-19 pandemic.
