Biopharm Reports has carried out a study of market needs in the flow cytometry field. This study
examined current techniques and applications, end-users’ plans for using flow cytometry over the next
three years, as well as preferred products, purchasing and new developments. The findings of this study
provide valuable support to developers and vendors operating in this field.
This study involved the participation of 260 experienced flow cytometry users and decision-makers in 53
countries. It investigated current and future applications, current and future purchasing plans, research
vs. clinical use across the study, new and emerging applications, end-users’ principal flow cytometers and
their strengths and weaknesses, current annual and future budgets, budget breakdown, main
consumables, challenges, innovation, use of analysis (offline) software, quality control guidelines, sample
preparation, and other areas. As part of this study, end-users provided details of their anticipated
purchases from suppliers in this field, over the period 2012 – 2015.

tests, the development or validation of FC tests and for qualitative discovery using FC methods.
Companies: End-users' purchases/use of FC systems from more than 25 companies and their
anticipated use of these systems over the next three years, each ranked according to their
competitive position
General and clinical: FC use (defined in this study description) by research scientists/research
managers and clinicians/physicians
FC methods: Current use of more than 25 FC general applications and 15 clinical applications by
end-users and the anticipated use of these applications over the next three years, each ranked
according to their competitive position.
2. Main applications: End-users’ two main applications of FC, each ranked according to their
competitive position.
