Molecular Biology Enzymes, Kits, and Reagents Market Size and Competitive Analysis by 2028

The molecular biology enzymes, kits, and reagents market is likely to be valued at US$ 15,715.48 million in 2022 and it is projected to reach US$ 41,104.71 million by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.8% from 2022 to 2028.

Biological enzymes play a prominent role in encouraging chemical reactions in biological systems. Molecular biology enzymes are recommended for the preparation of laboratory samples. These reagents are also utilized during various processes such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), DNA sequencing, and cell analysis. The growth of the market is attributed to a few key driving factors such as healthy funding for genomics, declining cost of sequencing procedures, and increasing prevalence of chronic diseases. However, the dearth of skilled professionals hinders the market growth.

The molecular biology enzymes, kits, and reagents market is witnessing substantial growth amid COVID-19 pandemic. The majority of the healthcare research organizations, market players, and academic centers are actively engaged in the research and development activities to develop new vaccines and therapeutic platforms for novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19. This extensive rise in research and development activities is expected to boost the demand for molecular biology kits and reagents, which, in turn, would drive the growth of the molecular biology enzymes, kits, and reagents market in coming years.

Healthy Funding for Genomics Drives Market Growth

Genome sequencing was restricted to the research facilities, a few years back. However, it has now became one of the common techniques in clinical practices. Over the next few years, the healthcare sector is expected to generate genomic data of over 60 million patients. The growing implementation of genomic sequencing into healthcare systems is supported by substantial government investments, totaling over US$ 4 billion in at least 14 countries. The UK has announced the world’s largest genome project as part of 200 million public–private collaboration between charitable organizations and pharmaceutical companies. The country has already developed the world’s largest genome database through the 100,000 Genomes Project. Led by Innovate UK, a part of UK Research and Innovation, the project was initiated to support researchers and industries through funds to combine data and real-world evidence obtained from UK health services as well as to create new products and services for more efficient and early disease diagnosis.

In November 2018, Stilla Technologies, France, announced the completion of a Series A financing round, gathering US$ 18.3 million (EUR 16 million) in funds; the round was led by Illumina Ventures. The company plans to use these funds to commercialization of its Naica digital PCR system and development of clinical applications. Further, in June 2020, Base Genomics, an epigenetics company based in Oxford, England, closed a seed funding round of US$ 11 million (GBP 9 million). In August 2018, Nebula Genomics, a company based in Boston, Massachusetts, along with 10 leading venture capital firms, raised US$ 4.3 million in seed funding. as a part of partnership with Veritas Genetics, a genome sequencing company. The company aims to use these funds to create a trustworthy, secure, and decentralized marketplace for genomic data. In March 2018, SynbiCITE (UK) received grants worth ~US$ 17.6 million (GBP 13 million) and private investments worth US$ 318.5 million (GBP 234 million). The company is made for increasing synbio applications in the UK. The SynbiCITE has supported the synbio at national level for the increase of gene synthesis applications.

In April 2020, MedGenome, a genetic diagnostics, research, and data company headquartered in Bengaluru, India, raised US$ 55 million (~INR 419 crore) in a new round of funding, led by LeapFrog Investments, a global impact investment firm. MedGenome also claims to have built the largest database of South Asian genetic variants in genetic diagnostics in India and research partnerships. It has conducted over 200,000 genomic tests to date by obtaining samples from more than 550 hospitals and 6,000 clinicians across India.

Such continuous funding by the manufacturers and governments in the field of genomics is supporting the molecular biology enzymes, kits, and reagents market growth.
