Driving this anticipated growth are several key factors, including the rising incidence of chronic and infectious diseases globally, growing awareness about the importance of early disease diagnosis, and expansion of biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industries. EliSpot and FluoroSpot assays allow detailed analysis of immune responses, making them critical tools for understanding and monitoring a wide range of health conditions.

However, the report also highlights some restraints facing the industry, notably the high costs associated with assay kits, reagents, and analytical equipment. These upfront costs can limit adoption, especially among smaller research laboratories or clinics in resource-constrained settings. There is also an ongoing shortage of skilled professionals trained in conducting and analyzing these complex assays. Addressing access barriers and boosting expertise will be important for fully unlocking the market's potential.

The Asia-Pacific market, particularly China, presents major expansion opportunities thanks to investments in healthcare infrastructure and rising burden of infectious and chronic diseases. Germany's strong biomedical research sector also makes it the fastest growing European market highlighted in the report. North America, meanwhile, is expected to dominate market share through 2028 due to well-developed research institutions, advanced healthcare facilities capable of implementing cutting-edge diagnostic technologies, and an innovative biopharmaceutical sector.

When examining market breakdowns, T-cell based assay kits claim the largest share of products sold, underlining the crucial role of T-cells in immune response and their widespread research applications. In terms of diagnostic applications, infectious disease diagnostics lead, although transplants represent an important and growing niche application area.
