Electrophoresis Market Dynamics:
One of the key aspects for driving the electrophoresis market is the rising burden of various cancers, infectious, and genetic diseases across the globe.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2022, cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020. The new cases of breast cancer in 2020 were 2.26 million cases, across the globe. The same source stated that lung cancer accounted for 2.21 million new cases, colon and rectum cancer for 1.93 million new cases, prostate cancer with 1.41 million new cases, skin cancer accounted for 1.20 million new cases, and stomach cancer was 1.09 million, 2020, globally.
Additionally, according to the latest data provided by UNAIDS, nearly 37.7 million people globally were living with HIV in 2020, and 1.5 million people became newly infected with HIV in 2020.
Thus, the increasing prevalence of cancer and infectious ailments across the globe will increase the demand for electrophoresis as these devices are used for the diagnosis of the afore-said diseases.
Additionally, the increasing use of next-generation sequencing and capillary electrophoresis with mass spectroscopy for the diagnosis of various chronic diseases and research & developmental activities will lead to an increased demand for electrophoresis. High-throughput proteomics technologies combined with advanced bioinformatics are extensively used to identify molecular signatures of diseases based on protein pathways and signaling cascades. Mass spectrometry plays a vital role in proteomics and has become an indispensable tool in molecular and cellular biology.
Furthermore, surging product approvals across the globe will in turn increase the demand for electrophoresis during the forecast period. For instance, in May 2019, the US FDA issued clearance for HYDRASYS 2, which is developed by Sebia, Inc., which is a leading provider of clinical protein electrophoresis equipment and reagents used for various disease screening and monitoring. HYDRASYS 2 is an all-in-one gel electrophoresis system with perforce staining, scanning, and migration.
Therefore, the factors stated above collectively will drive the overall Electrophoresis market throughout the forecast period from 2022-2027.
However, the time-consuming process, the presence of alternative techniques, and others may halt the market growth of electrophoresis.
The electrophoresis market was positively impacted during the period of COVID- 19 pandemic. During the initial stage of the pandemic, the sale of electrophoresis suffered collapse owing to the imposition of strict lockdown rules, disruption in manufacturing, and supply. However, the electrophoresis technique was used in the development of the Covid-19 vaccine. For instance, in July 2022, Elsan conducted a clinical trial to assess serum inflammation profiles by protein electrophoresis, a type of electrophoresis technique on patients hospitalized for infection due to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. On the other hand, gel electrophoresis, a type of electrophoresis was even used for the detection of the Covid-19 virus. Thus, as the number of cases of covid-19 increases, the demand for electrophoresis rises drastically. Likewise, the ease of lockdown restrictions, the upturn of resources and supply chain, the administration of a vaccine to the public, and with the increasing demand of electrophoresis for detection and research purposes, the demand for electrophoresis increases and is anticipated to do the same during the forecast period from 2022 – 2027.
Electrophoresis Market Segment Analysis:
Electrophoresis Market by Type (DNA Electrophoresis, RNA Electrophoresis, and Protein Electrophoresis), Product (Gel Electrophoresis, Capillary Electrophoresis, Reagents & Consumables, and Others), Application (Diagnosis, Research & Development, Quality Control & Process Validation, and Others), End-User (Academic and Research Institutions, Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Companies, Hospitals & Diagnostic Laboratories, and Others), and Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World).
In the product segment of the electrophoresis market, the gel electrophoresis segment is expected to have a significant revenue share in the year 2021. This was primarily owing to the low operating and instrument costs, rising applications in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, and the increasing burden of infectious diseases, cancer, and genetic disorders.
Also, the expanding launches and strategic investments, and other activities by the key players related to the segment will support driving its market during the forecast period.
The gel electrophoresis technique is used to identify many proteins that are significant for improved characterization of tumor progression and molecular specificity of both lung cancer subtypes. As a result of gel electrophoresis, it is possible to distinguish proteins from tumor cells, which aids in tumor diagnosis and may contribute to the segment's growth.
Further, various strategic steps taken by the key players in the market will help in increasing the demand for gel electrophoresis. For instance, in September 2020, miniPCR bio launched GELATO, a gel electrophoresis system with an integrated blue light with transillumination technology, allowing simultaneous nucleic acid separation.
Therefore, owing to the above-mentioned factors, the demand for gel electrophoresis upsurges, thereby the category is expected to witness considerable growth eventually contributing to the overall growth of the global electrophoresis market during the forecast period.
North America is expected to dominate the overall Electrophoresis Market:
Among all the regions, North America is expected to dominate the global electrophoresis in the year 2021 and is expected to do the same during the forecast period from 2022-2027.
This can be ascribed to the increasing demand for electrophoresis in the region owing to the increasing number of genomic research projects, the growing prevalence of chronic diseases; collaborations between industry and academia, surging product approvals and launches, and others are among the key factors that contribute to the growth of the electrophoresis market in North America during the forecast period from 2022 - 2027.
For instance, according to GLOBOCAN 2021, the total number of new cancer cases was 2,281,658 in the United States, in 2020. The rising cases of cancers will increase the demand for electrophoresis as these devices are used for the detection of tumors in a sample.
Further, the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries in the region are increasing R&D investment. For instance, according to the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), the biopharmaceutical industry in the United States is one of the top world leaders in new drug development. In 2020, the entire biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical industry invested an estimated USD 91.1 billion in research and development (R&D), up from approximately USD 83 billion in 2019. It is expected that research and development activity will increase in the same manner during the forecast period, ultimately increasing the demand for electrophoresis reagents and devices, thereby surging overall market growth of electrophoresis.
Moreover, the market players are continuously concentrating on the development of advanced electrophoresis devices and reagents, and this is likely to drive the market in the region. For instance, in September 2021, a novel capillary electrophoresis system, BioPhase8800, was introduced by Sciex Company for biological characterization during biopharmaceutical therapy. The new device analyzes eight samples simultaneously and is a multi-capillary system for capillary electrophoresis sodium dodecyl sulfate (CE-SDS).
Therefore, the interplay of the aforementioned factors above would provide a conducive growth environment for the North American region in the electrophoresis market.
