By Product:

The IHC market is divided into antibodies, reagents, equipment, and kits. Antibodies held the largest market share in 2022-2023, a trend expected to continue due to increasing drug discovery investments. This segment includes primary and secondary antibodies, with rising use of monoclonal antibodies and antibody drug conjugates in pathology, neuropathology, and hematopathology.

Reagents are another significant segment, including histological stains (the largest subsegment in 2023), blocking agents, chromogens, fixatives, solvents, enzymes, and diluents.

Equipment includes slide staining systems, tissue processors, scanners, microscopes, and automated IHC systems. Adoption of automated systems is growing to improve lab efficiency and consistency.

The kits segment (pre-prepared, multiplex, and specialty) is projected to have the fastest CAGR. These kits simplify IHC by providing pre-selected components, making them popular in academic and research labs for smaller-scale research.

By Application:

The immunohistochemistry market is segmented into diagnostics, research, and forensics. Diagnostics held the largest revenue share in 2023 and is projected to continue leading due to the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, including cancer (the largest subsegment). IHC is used to diagnose cancer, infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders, nephrological conditions, and neurological diseases. The rising prevalence of chronic diseases, especially cancer, drives market growth.

The research segment, including drug development and testing, is expected to grow considerably due to increasing pharmaceutical R&D. IHC is crucial in anti-tumor drug development and biomarker discovery.

The forensics segment is anticipated to have the fastest CAGR due to the growing application of IHC in crime scene investigations.

By End-User:

End-users include hospitals and diagnostic laboratories, academic and research institutes, and others. Hospitals and diagnostic laboratories held the largest market share in 2023 and are expected to maintain this dominance due to the high volume of IHC diagnostic tests. Factors like the expansion of healthcare facilities and a preference for IHC diagnostics contribute to this. The trend of in-house hospital diagnostics further supports growth.

Academic and research institutes are a significant end-user with rapidly increasing demand driven by global investments in medical research. This segment is expected to have the fastest CAGR due to the effectiveness of IHC over traditional methods.
