Digital PCR and Real-Time PCR Market

Digital PCR is an end-point PCR method for absolute quantification and analyzing minority sequences against a backdrop of similar majority sequences. Digital PCR (dPCR) allows for the exact and sensitive measurement of nucleic acids. Real time PCR is a method for collecting data during the PCR process, integrating amplification and detection into a single phase. Nucleic acid quantification using real-time quantitative PCR is sensitive, specific, and repeatable. It monitors the amplification of a specific DNA molecule throughout the PCR. 

The rising prevalence of genetic disorders and major infectious diseases, increased use of biomarker profiling for disease diagnosis, and the successful completion of the Human Genome Project are the primary factors driving demand for technologically advanced PCR tests during the forecast period. Significant technological developments, increased investments, funding, and grants are expected to raise demand for digital PCR in various applications in the next years.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the healthcare industry. Digital PCR and real-time PCR have generated considerable interest due to their use in diagnostics and drug discovery. Therefore, industry suppliers are actively developing droplet digital PCR assays for COVID-19 detection. In addition, numerous participants in the industry have developed unique instruments and tests for COVID-19 testing.

The product & service segment includes QPCR (QPCR reagents and consumables, QPCR instruments, QPCR software and services), DPCR (DPCR reagents and consumables, DPCR instruments, DPCR software and services). DPCR instruments are further segmented into chip-based digital PCR and beaming digital PCR. On the basis of QPCR application, the market is segmented into clinical applications (infectious disease testing, oncology testing, blood screening, transplant diagnostics, other clinical applications), research applications, forensic applications, environmental applications, and other applications. The end-user segment includes Hospitals and diagnostic laboratories, academic & research institutes, pharmaceutical & biotechnology, CROS & CDMOS, forensic laboratories, and other end-users.

Based on dPCR & qPCR end-users, the Hospitals And Diagnostic Laboratories Segment Is Accounted As A Major Contributor In The Digital PCR And Real-Time PCR Market

The hospitals and diagnostic laboratories category is expected to hold a considerable share in the global Digital PCR and Real-Time PCR Market in 2024 owing to the rising availability of qPCR reagents in the market. The use of clinical diagnostics and the continual growth of healthcare infrastructure in emerging markets, and the increasing prevalence and incidence of target diseases such as HIV/AIDS, cancer, malaria, and tuberculosis are likely to drive demand for hospital and diagnostic facilities in the Digital PCR (dPCR) and Real-Time PCR (qPCR) markets. The growing awareness among End-Users about the benefits of qPCR ineffective and speedy illness diagnosis is projected to fuel the growth of the Digital PCR (dPCR) and Real-Time PCR (qPCR) Markets in the coming years.

qPCR & dPCR reagents and consumables segment witness growth at a rapid rate

The QPCR & DPCR reagents and consumables segment is projected to expand at a rapid rate in the global Digital PCR and Real-Time PCR Market. This can be ascribed to the COVID-19 pandemic, increased demand for early illness detection, and the number of prominent companies producing digital PCR consumables and reagents. Furthermore, the widespread usage of consumables and reagents and the growing demand for healthcare, research, and other uses contribute to the segment's substantial share. Furthermore, the category is expected to keep its lead during the forecast period. 

In The Region, The North America Digital PCR And Real-Time PCR Market Holds A Significant Revenue Share

The North America Digital PCR and Real-Time PCR Market is expected to register the highest market share in terms of revenue in the near future, primarily due to the presence of favourable rules and many government efforts aimed at developing healthcare infrastructure, as well as the region's high disease prevalence. Furthermore, the region's strong presence of significant manufacturers and an increasing need for rapid diagnostic tests are projected to be critical factors driving the North American market throughout the projection period.

Due to the significant developments by China and Japan for technological integration of PCR methodologies, as well as the development of healthcare, R&D, and clinical development frameworks by emerging economies such as India and Australia, Asia Pacific is the most lucrative market. Throughout the projection period, the industry will see profitable growth possibilities.

Recent Developments:

  • In Oct 2022, BioExcel Diagnostics and Takara Bio USA have formed a collaborative alliance with the intention of creating a qPCR multiplex syndromic infectious disease diagnostic panel. qPCR automation technology and reagents supplied by Takara Bio USA, an entirely owned subsidiary of Takara Bio headquartered in Shiga, Japan, were utilized by the panels to identify antimicrobial resistance genes, bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
  • In Aug 2022, Roche announced the introduction of its first digital polymerase chain reaction (PCR) system, the Digital LightCycler System. Designed to accurately quantify trace quantities of specific DNA and RNA targets that are not ordinarily detectable by conventional PCR techniques, this next-generation system detects disease. Clinical researchers are able to partition DNA and RNA extracted from a pre-existing clinical sample into up to one hundred thousand microscopic individual reactions using the Digital LightCycler System. The results of the PCR can then be subjected to an extremely sophisticated data analysis by the system.
