Biophotonics is a combination of four technologies, such as photonics, nanotechnology, lasers, and biotechnology. Biophotonics is the science of producing and utilizing photons or light to image, identify, and engineer biological materials. A particularly important aspect of this field is imaging and sensing cells and tissue. Over the years, biophotonic technologies have received more & more attention, as more cost-saving, effective methods with applications ranging from medicine to life sciences research and beyond.

Global Biophotonics Market was valued at US$ 49.0 billion in 2018 and is predicted to reach US$ 95.0 billion, growing at a CAGR of 8.3% during the forecast period (2019 to 2027).

Biophotonics is the study of optical processes in biological systems, those that occur naturally and in bioengineered materials. Biophotonics research focuses on the development of optical imaging and sensing technologies to study biomolecule, cell, and tissue structure and function at nanoscopic and microscopic scales. This in turn help surgeons to see how the cells and tissues are working. This light technique provides sample of diseased and healthy tissue for diagnosis, treatment, and during surgery.

Using multiband photonic and spectroscopic methods it is able to analyze cells and tissues by the way these living structures absorb, reflect and scatter light. This can be used to diagnose and treat diseases ranging from cancer to strokes and Alzheimer's. Biophotonics uses photons to interrogate cancer microenvironments and eliminate cancer-based cells and tissues, and has paved new pathways for cancer research. Biophotonic imaging is emerging as a tool for clinical assessment of cancer at the microscopic and macroscopic scale.

According to the American Cancer Society, in 2022, there will be an estimated 1.9 million new cancer cases diagnosed and 609,360 cancer deaths in the U.S. This in turn will increase the use of biophotonic imaging in the U.S., as there has been growing interest in the use of biophotonics and imaging for cancer screening and diagnosis and also for monitoring of treatment response. Biophotonics offer enhanced treatment solutions for critical diseases. Thus, with the increasing application of biophotonics-based treatment solutions, the use of biophotonic technologies is also increasing with the rapid pace.
