Moreover, due to its cost-effective production, high systems engineering, and accessibility, microfluidics has a lot of potential in next-generation sequencing point-of-care diagnostic devices, which will drive up demand for the market over the forecast period. The introduction of microfluidics-based 3D cell culture systems, like organ-on-a-chip and the emerging application of drug delivery technologies, provides potential growth opportunities for industry players. Furthermore, high-throughput screening techniques, low-volume laboratory testing, and rising market demand for in vitro diagnostics (IVD) are anticipated to provide multiple growth potential for the market players in the near future.

Microfluidics is an emerging technology in the field of in-vitro diagnostics. The global market is driven by factors such as increased adaptation of point of care diagnostics in various medical fields and the emergence of 3D cell culture systems based on microfluidics such as organ-on-a-chip. Point of care devices is portable and handheld instruments used in the diagnostics of various diseases. Microfluidics-based biosensors in PoC devices can efficiently reduce the size, cost, and assay time of diagnostic testing.

Industry Dynamics

Growth Drivers
The new emerging applications of microfluidics are the emergence of 3D microfluidic cell culture systems such as organ-on-a-chip systems. Traditional animal studies and in-vitro culture systems have been useful in understanding the pathogenesis of viral infections and facilitating vaccine production. However, models that closely resemble human responses to specific disease conditions are still missing.

Organ-on-a-chip is a new technology that can accurately replicate in-vivo conditions. They can recapitulate fluid flows, tissue-tissue interfaces, organ-level physiology, and mechanical cues that can mimic humans' pathophysiology. Lungs, liver, and kidneys have been built by using Organ-on-a-chip technology.

Many companies are launching new microfluidic devices along with investing heavily to develop new innovative devices. The US FDA approved GeneXpert rapid molecular diagnostic machines designed by Cepheid in March 2020 to detect Coronavirus. In the US, 5000 automated modules are installed in health facilities, and these machines employ a disposable cartridge with test chambers based on microfluidics.

In June 2018, Emulate raised USD 36 million in series C financing to expand its microfluidics platform in developing disease models for drug testing. The company is trying to develop models that can mimic the physiology of the intestines, lungs, liver, and brain and modulation of the immune system. In February 2020, USD 25.85 million was raised in Series C funding by Lunaphore to expand its portfolio of ultra-rapid automated staining instruments based on microfluidic technology.
