The global gene amplification technologies market accounted for US$ 26.49 Bn in 2020 with a considerable CAGR of 8.6% during the forecast period of 2021 to 2028.

According to the National Human Genome Research Institute, gene amplification is an increase in the number of copies of gene sequence without a proportional increase in other genes. This results from a duplication of a region of DNA that contains a gene through errors in DNA replication and repair machinery. Gene amplification can also be referred to as the polymerase chain reaction (PCR); a laboratory technique used to amplify gene sequences in a test tube, which is in tremendous demand owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. Gene amplification technology plays a crucial role during development when it is responsible for the programmed increase of gene expression.

Market Dynamics

The global gene amplification technologies market is primarily driven by the Human Genome Project (HGP). The Human Genome Project was a worldwide scientific research project to determine the base pairs that compose human DNA. It was the world’s largest collaborative biological project that started in 1990 and was declared completed in April 2003. However, Level "complete genome" was attained in May 2021.

In addition, growing emphasis on research & development activities in the field of molecular diagnostic, genetic & genomic testing, drug discovery, and environmental monitoring among others are also boosting the global gene amplification technologies market share. For instance, genomic testing is commonly used in cancer treatment to determine the behavior of the tumor. It further helps healthcare professionals to predict how progressive cancer will be and whether it is likely to spread to other body parts. According to the reports, Global Cancer Observatory (GLOBOCAN) and International Agency for Research on Cancer states that an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases were diagnosed in 2020. Also, cancer is the leading cause of death the world. According to estimates from the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2019, cancer is the first or second cause of death before 70 years in most of the countries in the world.

However, the high costs of these technologies and limited awareness in emerging economies are the factors that might restraint the market from growing. Moreover, technological advancement in the field of advanced DNA multiplication technologies will contribute to profitable opportunities for the market in the coming years.

Increasing research & development activities in the field of molecular diagnostics fuels the gene amplification technologies market growth

The molecular diagnostics industry has been playing a vital role in the screening, detection, and monitoring of numerous life-threatening diseases. This industry is quickly evolving and has established itself as a significant part of the healthcare industry. Clinicians have benefited from molecular diagnostic tools such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), sequencing, and hybridization, as well as microarray, by providing rapid and sensitive approaches for the screening, detection, and monitoring of a wide range of genetic disorders, cancers, infectious, and chronic diseases

Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Gene Amplification Technology Industry

The pandemic has increased the pressure on the sector to handle the issues it faces. The COVID-19 pandemic has tested the healthcare ecosystem of even the most developed economies. With the addition of the quick antigen detection test to the molecular tests, which remain the basis of diagnosis, the testing rate has increased dramatically in recent months. The government's increased focus on testing has expedited the need, demand, and responsibility of the world's diagnostic business, particularly the molecular diagnostic sector, which has proven to be the backbone, supporting containment efforts to minimize the outbreak.
