Oligonucleotide Synthesis Market Analysis

Oligonucleotides have many applications in research, diseases diagnosis, therapeutics, forensic, drug discovery, agriculture and many more. Oligonucleotides are used in many biological and forensic applications as sequence-specific binding agents can help in identifying presence of a specific target DNA sequence. Synthetic oligonucleotides are short stretches of single stranded DNA fragments assembled by chemical synthesis. There is hardly a field in biology in which synthetic DNA has not been used or does not have the potential to be used. The main reason for such a turnabout is the simultaneous developments of methods for the rapid and efficient synthesis of oligonucleotides and the advent of molecular biology techniques.

Oligonucleotide Synthesis Market Overview

Oligonucleotide synthesis refers to the synthesis of short fragments of nucleic acids using genetic engineering and enzyme chemistry. The technique is useful in existing laboratory practice as it provides a rapid and inexpensive access to custom-made oligonucleotides of the desired length and sequence. Oligonucleotides are used from initial research and screening through to target validation and drug production. Today, subsequent improvements in oligonucleotide synthesis, amplification and automation have completely revolutionized biological research.

The global oligonucleotide synthesis market is segmented by region into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and South & Central America. In North America, the US is the largest market for oligonucleotide synthesis. The US oligonucleotide synthesis market is estimated to hold the largest market share during the forecast period in the North American market. The market of oligonucleotide synthesis in the United States is anticipated to witness significant growth during the forecast period, owing to factors such as rising investments in the development of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, funds from government bodies as well a rise in the number of market players and their focus in the oligonucleotide synthesis market.
