Nucleic Acid Labeling Market - Forecast(2024 - 2030)

Nucleic Acid Labeling Market Overview

The Nucleic Acid Labeling Market size is estimated to reach $3.1 billion by 2026 and is poised to grow at a CAGR of 8.34% over the forecast period of 2021-2026. Nucleic acids are by far the most important class of macromolecules found in various cells and viruses. Nucleic acid helps in the storage and in the easy expression of genetic information. The two most prominent nucleic acids are DNA and RNA. The former helps to pass the information to the cells to make proteins. The latter helps in protein synthesis. One of the major features of nucleic acid is that it is stable and does not fall apart on its very own. Radioactive phosphates or P-32 is used in the laboratory to label the DNA and proteins, and in turn, are primarily used to treat disorders such as polycythemia vera and certain types of leukemia. Nucleic acids can also be made fluorescent. Additionally, to make DNA and RNA fluorescent, fluorophores or quenchers are directly attached to the acid structure. The various DNA labeling kits allow tagging a single line stand of DNA with biotin for use in various assays.

The personalized medicines, which are made according to the patient's needs on the molecular basis of diseases, have been one of the leading drivers for the market, and the advent of healthcare technology and IoT have further pushed the marketers to provide better and faster diagnosis. The following are some of the factors driving the nucleic acid labeling industry forward in the projected period of 2021-2026.

Nucleic Acid Labeling Market Segmentation Analysis- By Label Type

The nucleic acid labeling market based on label type can be further segmented into Biotin Based, Fluorescent, Radioactive Phosphates, and Enzymes. The fluorescent segment held a dominant market share in the year 2020. It is owing to their preference for being used in various applications pertaining to nucleic acid sequences. The following technique allows for easy incorporation of RNA and DNA via various enzyme-based methods and is hereby used for analytical purposes.

However, the biotin-based segment is estimated to be the fastest-growing, with a CAGR of 8.9% over the forecast period of 2021-2026. It is owing to their increased stability and their non-hazardous nature. The secondary reporter molecules used in terms of biotin allow for better signal amplification which in turn increases the sensitivity. Additionally, the products have a longer shelf life, and their stability in room temperatures remains constant. For example, a biotin-based probe, if prepared in bulk, can be stored at -20 degrees centigrade. The marketers are regularly updating the structures, which allows them to counter the technique’s inherent limitations.

Nucleic Acid Labeling Market Segmentation Analysis- By Geography

The nucleic acid labeling market based on Geography can be further segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, and the Rest of the World. North America’s nucleic acid labeling market held a dominant market share of 40% as compared to the other in the year 2020. It is owing to the rising cases of chronic diseases and an increasing number of long-term side effects pertaining to the prevalent medications. For example, the cancer incidence in the US is close to 445 per 100,000 population. Moreover, as per the analysis, there would be close to 22 million cancer survivors by 2030, and new cases pertaining to cancer was close to 1 million in 2020. With the advent of the government’s support via policies, a favorable business atmosphere, and trade-friendly practices, the nucleic acid labeling market was able to find better solutions.

However, Asia-Pacific offers lucrative growth opportunities to marketers. It is owing to the various government’s rising interest to develop a better medical health infrastructure.
