Cell sorting is a process of separating cells based on their physical and chemical
properties. The cell sorting process enables the separation of or collection of
uniform population of cells from fluids or tissues, in which various types of cells are
present. The physical characteristics considered for the separation of cells include
cell size, cell density, fluorescence emitted by the labelled cell, and affinity of
antibodies on cell surface epitopes. The common methods used for the separation
of cells include centrifugation and electrophoresis. The centrifuge works on the
principle of centrifugal force which separates the cells on the basis of their
sedimentation velocity and cell size. Magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS) is
primarily employed for the rapid isolation of rare cells such as viable cytokine-
secreting cells.

The growing prevalence of chronic diseases and cancer and the increasing demand
for cell therapies for the treatment of these diseases contribute to the growth of the
cell sorting market. Rise in geriatric population and increase in patient pool are
further driving the market growth. In addition, rise in government initiatives to
enhance health care facilities, focus on research, and growth in research funding
contribute to the growth of the market for cell sorting. However, high cost of
devices, stringent regulations, and lack of skilled personnel with sound technical
know-how are likely to restraint the market growth during the forecast period. The
cell sorting market is primarily controlled by giant international players that hold
proprietary products based on their patented technologies. This factor limits the
entry of new players in the market.
The global cell sorting market can be segmented on the basis of technology,
application, end-user, and geography. On the basis of technology, the cell sorting
market can be segmented into gradient centrifugation, separation based on cell
markers, and sorting on microchips. The separation techniques based on cell
markers include fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and MACS. MACS is a
bulk separation method and is commonly known as immunomagnetic cell sorting. It
enables the reduction of sorting time with a high cell throughput. This method is
employed when the cell sorting is to be done on a single criteria. FACS is anticipated
to be the segment driving the growth of the market during the forecast period
owing to its accuracy and increasing applications. In addition, FACS offers higher
