Global Epigenetics Market 2017-2021

This market research study identifies Abcam, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Merck, and Thermo Fisher Scientific as the leading players in the global epigenetics market. A comprehensive analysis of this market is also presented by product (reagents, kits, and others) and by geography (the Americas, APAC, and EMEA).

Overview of the global epigenetics market

Research analysis on the global epigenetics market identifies that the emergence of epigenetic targets for the development of drugs will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the market. Epigenetic target is considered as the most promising class of druggable targets due to the potential alterations in DNA methylation and microRNA modification. They have a future scope in oncology research, metabolic, neurological, inflammatory, and cardiovascular disorders.

Epigenetic therapies for activating or repressing the transcription are much simpler in comparison to genetic therapies that require precise DNA sequence modification. Consequently, the rising focus on epigenetic therapy will result in the discovery of epigenetic drugs for cancer treatment. For instance, epigenetics can serve as a promising target for epigenetic therapy such as reactivation of miR-127 in T24 bladder cancer cells. According to the epigenetics market analysis, Technavio’s market research analysts predict that this market will grow at a CAGR of more than 13% by 2021.

Epigenetics market trends

The increasing demand for personalized medicine is one of the key epigenetics market trends that will gain traction in the market during the predicted period. Epigenetic analysis helps in the understanding of medicines by analyzing which drug shows the better effect and which does not. Every biological system has different genomes that act differently with the same medicine. This, in turn, helps researchers to develop personalized medicines.

Epigenetics market: Competitive landscape and key vendors

The epigenetics market comprises of several regional and international vendors. These vendors are increasingly competing against each other based on factors such as product quality, price, market reach, and financial resources.
