It is also used for detection of viruses in cerebrospinal fluid of patients that are having neurological disease. The main advantage of digital PCR is that it has high tolerance to inhibitors, play an important role in targeted next-generation sequencing, and it also measures the cancer genes. It has various application in paternity testing and DNA cloning. Rise in prevalence of infectious disease and surge in awareness & acceptance of personalized medicines are the major factors driving the growth of the market. Advancement in technique and growing market penetration is set to further enhance the overall market development of the Digital PCR Market for the period 2021-2026.
Digital PCR Market Segment Analysis – By Technology Type
Droplet Digital PCR held the largest share in the Digital PCR Market in 2020 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.7% during the forecast period 2021-2026. This is attributed to the technological advances along with various new product launches. Droplet digital PCR is based on water oil emulsion droplet technology and for the amplification of the template molecules in each individual droplet. It also uses workflows and reagents for most standard probe based assays. Droplet digital PCR also measure the copy number variation by partitioning a PCR reaction into nanoliter droplets. The cross-contamination drawback of droplet digital PCR is increasing the demand of chip based digital PCR. Droplet digital PCR are estimated to register the highest CAGR over the period 2021-2026.
Digital PCR Market Segment Analysis – By Indication
Infectious disease held the largest share in the Digital PCR Market in 2020 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR 8.6% during the forecast period 2021-2026. This is attributed to the advantages of the droplet digital PCR of infectious diseases such as bacterial, viral, and parasitic indications. Digital PCR provides more accurate, sensitive, and reproductive detection of pathogens according to the National Center for Biotechnology and it is better than real time polymerase chain reaction that are used for clinical diagnostics. The demand of oncology is increasing owing to the growing prevalence of the condition and introduction of new product launches. Oncology are estimated to register the highest CAGR over the period 2021-2026.
Digital PCR Market Segment Analysis – By Geography
North America dominated the Digital PCR Market with a major share of 37.6% in 2020. This is attributed to the high prevalence & diagnosis rates for infectious disease and high awareness among patient population towards new diagnostic options. Availability of digital PCR devices, rising incidences of various types of cancer and metabolic diseases requiring advanced diagnosis and therapeutics is also increasing the growth of the market in this region.
However, Asia Pacific is estimated to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period 2021-2026 owing to the growing patient awareness regarding advanced digital polymerase chain reaction devices. Developing Healthcare infrastructure is also increasing the growth of the market in this region.
Technological advancements in digital PCR is increasing the growth of the Digital PCR Market. This is attributed to the growing demand for innovative devices and increasing research & development activities. Digital PCR is used to quantify and amplify nuclei acid.
