Global Electrophoresis Reagents Market - Segmented by Product (Gels, Dyes, Buffers and Other Reagents), Technique, End-User and Geography - Growth, Trends, and Forecast (2022 - 2030)

The global electrophoresis reagents market is projected to grow at a CAGR of approximately 5.2% during the forecast period (2018-2023). The electrophoresis is a technique to separate DNA, RNA and proteins using an electrical current based on molecular weight or fragment size. The reagents used in the electrophoresis technique are called as electrophoresis reagents. Although, this technique has been in use for a long time and is considered as outdated, with the addition of latest technologies, market is growing at the study rate.

Increasing Prevalence of Chronic Diseases

The chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disorders (CVD) and central nervous system (CNS) are related to the disorders of lipoprotein metabolism. The electrophoresis is used in the analysis of the lipoproteins and apolipoproteins that are essential for the valuation of the CVD and monitoring of individuals on treatment. According to WHO, the prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to increase by 57% by 2020. Also, as per WHO, China and India now have the world’s highest number of diabetes sufferers at more than 98 million and 65 million individuals. With the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, the prompt diagnosis and treatment are in need. The electrophoresis is used in the clinical laboratories to quantify the lipoproteins using enzymatic staining of cholesterol and triglycerides for the diagnosis of CVD and other chronic diseases. With the increasing need of diagnosis due to the proliferation of the chronic disease, the market of electrophoresis reagents market is expected to rise in future. Other factors such as increasing funding for genomic and proteomic research, growing collaborations between industry & academics and technological developments are additionally helping in propelling the market growth.

Presence of Alternative Technologies

Electrophoresis is mainly used in the RNA, DNA and protein analysis. Also, it has scope in the drug development and diagnosis of the diseases. However, with the innovations, many new techniques are available in the market. The alternative techniques such as CT scan, MRI, and other medical diagnostic techniques are more sophisticated and relievable compare to the electrophoresis technique. Also, in the drug development, usage of HPLC, mass spectroscopy and other techniques has gain more importance than that of the electrophoresis. With the availability of the NGS, the study of DNA, RNA and proteins has become easier and less time consuming. The advantages of alternative techniques such as accuracy, less time consuming, ease of use and data reliability has given upper hand to these techniques over the electrophoresis and expected to hamper the market growth. Additionally, the electrophoresis is considered to be a time-consuming operation which has hindered the market growth.

The US to Dominate the Electrophoresis Reagents Market

The global electrophoresis reagents market has been segmented into five major regions, viz. North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America. Driven by the developed country of the U.S., North America dominated the global electrophoresis market in 2017, due to factors such government support for genomic and proteomic research and increasing collaboration between industry & academics. Furthermore, technological developments and increasing expenditure by manufacturers for development of electrophoresis reagents are also boosting the growth of the electrophoresis reagents marketin the US.
