Nucleic Acid Labelling Market

Global Nucleic Acid Labelling Market Size (2023 to 2028)

The global nucleic acid labelling market size is estimated to be growing at a CAGR of 8.65% from 2023 to 2028. The size of the market is predicted to be USD 2915 million by 2028 and USD 1925 million in 2023.

Nucleic Acid Labelling has many applications in the fields of drug discovery and identification of new diseases. Nucleic acids are large complex molecules that carry genetic information. Two major types of nucleic acids are DNA and RNA. DNA has the forward function of hereditary characteristics to next-generation, while RNA carries protein synthesis. Nucleic acids are labeled with tags that facilitate the detection and purification process. Many methods involve chemicals and enzymes for labeling nucleic acids like a corporation of fluorescent tags, radioactive phosphates, and modifications with biotin, which are primarily for biotechnology applications.

MARKET DRIVERS:

Growing healthcare expenditure, increasing funding for R&D in genomics and disease diagnosis, and rising demand for personalized healthcare are some of the key factors driving the global nucleic acid labelling market.

The rise in investments in research and development centers to introduce new products is the key driving factor for growth. Increasing focus on genomics is propelling the demand of the market. Using this genome analysis, scientists can customize drugs to make them more effective, thereby improving treatment outcomes. Besides, this approach can be used to detect and diagnose diseases in a particular way by categorizing them by genetic variation rather than symptoms, thereby attracting large numbers of patients to it, which in turn boosts the nucleic acid labeling market.

Initiatives by public and private organizations are accelerating the growth of the nucleic acid labelling market. The increasing prevalence of the design of synthetic genomes through different technologies available in the biotechnology field is solely to fuel the demand of the market. Increasing support from the government by changing schemes in favor of ordinary people to present growth opportunities for the market players. Growing disposable income is also one more factor leveraging the demand of the market. Furthermore, the market is led by shifting people's interest in personalized medicine.

The growing incidence of chronic diseases directing to diabetes and other cardiovascular diseases and patient demand for personalized drugs is one of the primary drivers of the nucleic acid labeling market during the forecast period. With the remarkable development of sequencing technology, various species' genome, from bacteria to humans, has been completely sequenced. Besides, the sequencing speed has been dramatically accelerated by the recent advent of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) methods, which previously followed conventional capillary sequencing methods. NGS methods analyze different sizes and types of DNA libraries in a more precise, fast, and inexpensive way and in a generalized way, driving the market. NGS provides powerful tools for not only discovering critical biological information such as whole genome sequences, DNA protein variations, and interactions but is also applicable for diagnostic and clinical uses, thus helping your market to grow.

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

However, the government's stringent rules and regulations in approving newly manufactured reference products are limiting the growth of the market. The lack of skilled persons to monitor the procedures is also restricting the demand of the market. The cost of installing and maintaining overall equipment is a bit high, and it remained a challenging thing for the market developers. The lack of qualified professionals is a significant setback to the growth of the nucleic acid labeling market during the forecast period. Additionally, due to the lack of a qualified professional to understand the interpretation of HCV test results, when more specific tests should be performed and which test should be considered for this purpose.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global nucleic acid labelling market

The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly boosted the nucleic acid testing market as nucleic acid test kits are used for the early detection and screening of novel coronavirus. The most important concern of the governments of all countries infected with COVID-19 is the excruciating need to detect and prevent large numbers of patients from presenting with possible infection with the coronavirus. It has resulted in an increased demand for nucleic acid testing. As in March 2020, a drive-thru test for coronavirus nucleic acid testing was opened in Haidian District, Beijing, China. The test drive process was completed in just 3 minutes, and appointments could be made online.

The facility's goal was to step up testing in Beijing and detect more asymptomatic COVID-19 infections. Since the launch, 450 samples have been collected, and nearly 120 people are tested every day. That same month, China's Luohu District Public Health Department collected 18,112 samples between April 24 and April 27, 2020, for nucleic acid testing from students who were about to graduate this year. Besides, demand for these tests will increase as work resumes in all blockaded countries since these tests detect the virus at an early stage. For example, in April 2020, southern China's Guangdong Province required all school staff to undergo nucleic acid testing before returning to work to reduce infection risk. Hence the continued growth of the market. It has put enormous pressure on the diagnostic virology entities as kit supply shortages increase.

Another factor that propels the market to its peak is detection time. With the advancement of technology, testing times are shortened to increase the number of exams per day. It prompted market players to develop rapid and efficient diagnostic kits. For example: According to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, researchers at the Suzhou Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Technology have developed a new nucleic acid test kit for COVID-19 that can confirm cases in 47 minutes on average. In addition to the rapid turnaround time for results, the test kit is also small in size and easy to carry, making it useful for on-site testing. Meanwhile, Abbott Inc. announced in March 2020 the launch of its Molecular Point of Care test kit capable of detecting a positive case in 7 minutes and a negative case in 15 minutes. The company made the kits available during the first week of April 2003 and increased manufacturing to 55,000 tests per day. Therefore, it provides a concrete path for growth during the forecast period between and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
