North America is estimated to contribute 33% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio's analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. The molecular diagnostics market is growing at a steady rate in North America. The molecular diagnostics space in the region is generating huge interest from corporate giants, as these companies can expand their presence in the healthcare market through acquisitions or explore newer avenues for revenue generation.
Additionally, the large number of genetic tests that are available for a range of conditions and the high rate at which newer genetic tests are being developed in this region indicates that the market will continue to grow during the forecast period as most of these tests where DNA or protein analysis is required, a gel documentation system will be used.
The market is fueled by the increasing demand for imaging and recording of biological samples in various fields such as diagnostic laboratories, pharmaceutical corporations, and biotechnology corporations. These systems facilitate the visualization of nucleic acids and proteins separated on polyacrylamide and agarose gels, utilizing dyes like ethidium bromide and fluorophores such as SYBR Green. Advancements in computer vision techniques enable precise protein quantification and analysis. With the rise in research activities involving microscopy and cellular analysis, the demand for gel imaging and documentation systems, including those compatible with digital systems, continues to grow.
Increasing healthcare expenditure is notably driving market growth. The rising prevalence of infectious diseases and the growing disposable income of consumers have increased the spending on healthcare across the world. Besides, the growing awareness of the need for the early management of infectious and chronic diseases among people has made them look for timely medical help.
Moreover, the expenditure on healthcare is generally higher in developed countries. Emerging markets, such as China, India, and Brazil, are also witnessing a favorable increase in healthcare spending due to the rising disposable income of the people. Healthcare expenditure in China is expected to grow at an average of 8.4 % annually and reach USD 2,297.3 billion by 2035, from around USD 508.9 billion in 2014. In the US, the FY 2022 budget proposed USD 131.8 billion in discretionary budget authority and USD 1.5 trillion in mandatory funding. Such an increase in healthcare expenditure is expected to drive the market during the forecast period.
Increasing patient awareness on the importance of early diagnosis is an emerging trend in the market. Many organizations across the world are developing initiatives to highlight the importance of early diagnosis along with key measures for a patient to opt for a successful diagnosis. For instance, the National Awareness and Early Diagnosis Initiative (NAEDI), led by Cancer Research UK and the Department of Health aims to provide local interventions to increase public awareness of the signs and symptoms of cancer and encourage patients to seek medical help early.
Moreover, such initiatives are encouraging many patients to undergo early diagnosis of diseases, which is pivotal for planning treatment and for the development of personalized medicine. All these factors are expected to have a positive impact on the growth of the global gel documentation systems market during the forecast period.
The high cost of instruments is a major challenge impeding market growth. Gel documentation systems are expensive to procure and maintain. On average, the price of a gel documentation systems device ranges from USD 1000 - USD 4,000. For a standard gel documentation system, the cost of maintenance, service, and repair increases the total cost of ownership, making gel documentation system devices more expensive during their lifetime.
Moreover, the maintenance costs of these devices are high, as these devices experience changes in temperature and undergo mechanical stress. Regular maintenance of the instruments is a necessity, as they have specific performance criteria that deliver accurate results. In addition, these instruments must be used as per the guidelines provided to avoid any sort of contamination with microorganisms. Such challenges are hindering the growth of the market in focus.
