Growing Applications of Lipidomics in Biomedical Sciences is Fueling the Europe Lipidomics Equipment Market

Lipidomics, an emerging discipline of biomedical sciences, involves the characterization of complex lipidomes. It is a quantitative and complete depiction of a set of lipid species present in an organism. The lipidome characterization is based on a system-level quantitation and the detection of several networks & pathways of cellular lipids, along with their interaction with other moieties and proteins. Determining lipid profiles and comparing the profiles obtained for two physiologically linked conditions can help understand lipid metabolism pathways, which further can be employed to develop diagnostic methods for cancer, cardiovascular disorders, eye diseases, and other diseases. In March 2022, Lipotype GmbH, Lund University, and the Twincore Centre for Experimental and Clinical Infection Research demonstrated that the measurement of lipids in the blood could be used for predicting the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disorders. Researchers from this group believe lipidome analysis is likely to emerge as a faster and cheaper method for diagnosing these diseases compared to traditional assays. Lipidomics plays a pivotal role in pharmacological research, especially in new drug discovery and development processes. It is also applied for toxicity evaluation, molecule screening, preclinical testing, etc. For example, de novo lipogenesis inhibitors are of major interest among researchers due to their pro-apoptotic effects on cancerous tissues. Lipidomics can also be used to screen such anticancer drug candidates for their ability to inhibit de novo lipid synthesis and for identifying novel drug efficacy biomarkers. Thus, a wide range of applications of lipidomics in biomedical sciences boosts the demand for lipidomics equipment, thereby propelling the Europe lipidomics equipment market .

Europe Lipidomics Equipment Market Overview

The Europe lipidomics equipment market is segmented into the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the Rest of Europe. Germany held a prime share in Europe as it has the largest medical research industry in the region, the third largest in the world. The country is expected to dominate the medical research industry during the forecast period. Besides, Germany has witnessed an enormous rise in the prevalence of cancer in the past few years. For instance, according to Global Cancer Observatory, in 2020, a total of 628,519 new cases in both sexes and all ages were found, along with 69,697 (11.1%) cases of breast cancer, 67,959 (10.8%) cases of prostate cancer, 64,804 (10.3%) cases of lung cancer, 57,528 (9.2%) cases of colorectum cancer, 35,147 (5.6%) cases of bladder cancer, and 333,384 (53%) of other cancers. Lipidomics equipment help in the early diagnosis of cancer. Thus, the demand for lipidomics equipment is increasing rapidly in the country.

The German Society of Mass Spectrometry (DGMS) was founded in 1997 as a successor to the mass spectrometry working group (AGMS) to support mass spectrometry as a high-precision examination method for isolated molecules to enable and improve the exchange of experience among the members. It has more than 700 members from industry research facilities, universities, and government laboratories. The organization organizes conferences and workshops to provide training and hands-on experience with spectrometers. For instance, in 2018, DGMS organized a joint conference on mass spectroscopy and its applications. It will increase the knowledge among professionals and students, ultimately leading to higher adoption of lipidomics equipment during the forecast period.
