Immunohistochemistry Industry Overview

The global immunohistochemistry market size was valued at USD 2.33 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8% from 2023 to 2030.

Increasing implementation of automation and machine learning in immunohistochemistry (IHC), coupled with the introduction of technologically advanced immunohistochemistry solutions, is expected to significantly drive the market throughout the forecast period. Advancements in IHC protocols have boosted its demand to a significant level in disease diagnosis. In addition, the rise in product approvals and the launch of technologically advanced immunohistochemistry systems for disease diagnosis are further propelling the market growth.

For instance, in August 2021, the FDA approved Roche’s VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel to identify dMMR solid tumor patients eligible for anti-PD-1 immunotherapy. Companies continue to launch novel products to strengthen their market position, which leads to revenue generation. For instance, in March 2021, Roche launched the DISCOVERY Green HRP kit to detect and profile biomarkers and cell populations in tissue-based research. This kit can be utilized in combination with other detection kits, expanding the multiplexing capacity of in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. Similarly, in March 2023, Paige announced the inclusion of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms of Mindpeak's for immunohistochemistry biomarker quantification on the company’s platform. Mindpeak, a software company specializing in image analysis, has contributed AI algorithms designed for the analysis of immunohistochemistry slides of lung and breast tissue, which are now available on the platform. IHC technology is limited to single parametric evaluations of a sample.

Newer techniques such as multiplexed IHC, however, allow multiparametric and detailed analysis from a single tissue segment by utilizing advanced methods of mass spectrometric detection. Multiplexed IHC helps address the technical challenges posed by the labeled fluorescence detection-based method, thereby spurring the market revenue. The growing elderly population in both developed and emerging nations would favorably impact the Immunohistochemistry market. The frequency of age-related disorders is expected to rise dramatically as the global geriatric population grows significantly.RT-PCR, immunohistochemistry, and an electron microscope were used to detect the virus, indicating that the effect of SARS-CoV-2 is not limited to the lungs.
