Laser Capture Microdissection Market Analysis

The Laser Capture Microdissection Market size is estimated at USD 202.99 million in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 326.92 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 10% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

The market studied is being driven by factors, such as an increase in the R&D funding, along with the increasing healthcare expenditure and technological advancements in the Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM).

According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the total R&D expenditure in the United Kingdom is increasing rapidly. During 2016, it was around GBP 33.2 billion, which increased in 2017 and reached around GBP 34.8 billion. Similarly, in the United States, the investments in medical R&D was USD 39.5 billion in 2017. This indicates that there is a high investment done in healthcare in the major countries.

Trends are showing a return to growth, with only minor caution, across most areas of R&D spending. The increase in R&D investment in Asia, particularly India, and the consecutive annual growth in R&D spending in the country, indicate a period of stability, security, and healthy competition across the industrial sectors. A national survey by the Central Government of India, on the status of R&D in the country, has shown that India's Gross Expenditure on R&D (GERD) has more than tripled, from INR 241.17 billion (INR 24,117 crore) to INR 853.26 billion (INR 85,326 crore) during the decade, from 2004-2005 to 2014-2015.

Furthermore, it is indicated that the rising R&D investment will have a positive impact on the market studied and the market will grow rapidly over the forecast period.

Laser Capture Microdissection Industry Overview

The laser capture microdissection market is moderately competitive and consists of the global, as well as local players. In countries, like India, there are several local players and these companies are holding a substantial share of the market. A similar scenario was observed in developed countries, such as the United States and a few European countries. With the rising focus on R&D, it is believed that more companies will enter the market in the coming future.
