Market Trends of Nucleic Acid Isolation And Purification Industry
The Equipment Segment is Expected to Hold a Major Market Share in the Nucleic Acid Isolation and Purification Market
The equipment segment of the market studied is growing at a good pace. There are significant advancements in the field of molecular diagnostics that have facilitated rapid and continuous advancements in nucleic acid isolation and purification technologies, driven by the new knowledge provided by the mapping of genetic risk factors behind many diseases, where lifestyle has an important role to play.
For procedures including sample preparation, gene expression, DNA/RNA analysis, and PCR, automated nucleic acid purification equipment extract and purify genomic and plasmid DNA from cells, tissue, and whole blood samples. There are systems that use sealed cartridges to solve compatibility and contamination concerns, as well as open and closed platforms. Magnetic bead-based methods and spin-column purification are two technologies for nucleic acid extraction and purification that provide quick, dependable nucleic acid recovery and purity while lowering human error and standardizing procedures.
The market is expanding as a result of the availability of cutting-edge technological products. For instance, QIAGEN's sample homogenization, automated DNA and RNA extraction, and automated RNA extraction solutions are effortlessly integrated into daily research and enable the transformation of biological samples into important molecular insights quickly. Additionally, over the past few decades, magnetic beads (particles) were created that could aid in overcoming the difficulties now present. They enable the quick and effective direct purification of the DNA/RNA from crude cell extracts using an appropriate buffer solution. Workflow is automated by the Aurora VERSA and ADNAP extraction systems, two generations of equipment that are based on the Magnetic Bead RNA/DNA Extraction technique.
Thus, the growth in laboratory automation may lead to the growth of the equipment segment of the market studied.
North America is Expected to Hold a Significant Share in the Market and Expected to do Same in the Forecast Period
North America is expected to witness growth in the nucleic acid isolation and purification market. This is due to various factors, such as a rise in research and development in the genomic field that requires nucleic acid isolation and purification procedures, an increase in demand for sequencing platforms in clinical diagnostics, and growth in funding for research and development in molecular biology. In June 2021, UCLA Health received a USD 4.8 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to develop methods that were likely to improve genetic risk estimates and polygenic risk scores for specific diseases in people from diverse populations and mixed ancestries.
Furthermore, in September 2021, Beckman Coulter Life Sciences launched the EMnetik System to semi-automate workflows while reducing the time required for a PCR cleanup. Built using electromagnets, EMnetik 24 and the accompanying EMnetik PCR Cleanup Kit and EMnetik Plasmid Purification Kit use magnetic bead-based technology to clean nucleic acids in a stationary device. The benchtop instrument can run 1-24 samples at a time. The streamlined cleanup process and semi-automation also helped eliminate potential errors.
Besides, the high prevalence of genetic disorders is contributing to market growth. For instance, according to the CDC data published in 2020, Hemophilia A affects 1 in 5,000 male births in the United States. Each year approximately 400 babies are born with hemophilia A. Such frequency of genetic disorders is expected to drive the demand for nucleic acid and purification for the effective diagnostics and development of effective treatment procedures.
Thus, due to the rise in research and development in the genomic field that requires nucleic acid isolation and purification procedures, along with the surge in product launches, North America is anticipated to witness a growth in the nucleic acid isolation and purification market over the forecast period.
