Metabolism Assays Market Dynamics
DRIVER: Increasing funding and investments in metabolic research
Metabolic research funding and investments are crucial for advancing the metabolic processes understanding, producing new metabolic disease treatments, and improving public health. Diseases like diabetes, obesity, lipid metabolism, mitochondrial disorders, and metabolic pathways are being considered as metabolic diseases. Various sources, including government agencies, private foundations, pharmaceutical companies, and academic institutions are the sources for funding. For instance, clinical-stage biotechnology firm Eccogene raised USD 25.23m (CNY180m) in a Series B financing round to support the development of its clinical-stage metabolic pipeline, in June 2023.
RESTRAINT: High cost of metabolism assay analyzers
The adoption of metabolism assays can be hindered due to the high costs, especially with limited budgeted facilities like smaller research laboratories or healthcare facilities. To mitigate these costs, the organizations may explore options like group purchasing, leasing or financing agreements, and collaborations with larger institutions. There is the development of more cost-effective analyzers or alternative testing methods that reduce expenses while maintaining accuracy and reliability, as technology advances and competition increases. For instance, the Seahorse Xfe 96 Cell Analyzer System and Seahorse XF HS Mini Analyzer by Agilent Technologies, Inc. (US) cost USD 189,612 and USD 68,611, respectively.
OPPORTUNITY: Integration with wearable devices
The overall health monitoring and management experience for individuals can be enhanced by integrating metabolism assay data with digital health platforms, apps, and wearable devices. For instance, Sweat-based wearable technologies have great potential to collect important data on biomarkers which are related to metabolic syndrome and its associated diseases. These wearable devices can measure glucose, CRP, cortisol, and sodium levels, making them invaluable for patients at risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
CHALLENGE: Complexity of assay development
Due to the intricate nature of metabolic pathways and the need for precise measurement techniques, it can be complex and time-consuming to develop accurate and reliable metabolism assays. Ensuring consistency and reproducibility across different experiments and laboratories can be a challenge. A multidisciplinary approach is required for these complexities which involves expertise in biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, analytical chemistry, and computational biology.
