Molecular Weight Marker Market: Segmentation by Region

North America accounted for the largest molecular weight marker market share in 2019, and the region will offer several growth opportunities to market vendors during the forecast period. The increasing use of electrophoresis procedures in proteomics and genomics research and developments in targeted and protein-based therapeutics will significantly influence molecular weight marker market growth in this region.

38% of the market’s growth will originate from North America during the forecast period. The US is the key market for molecular weight markers in North America. Market growth in this region will be slower than the growth of the market in Asia and ROW.

Molecular Weight Marker Market: Segmentation by Product

DNA markers are extensively used in PCR applications for accurate quantification and sizing of amplified DNA fragments. Moreover, the reduction in sequencing cost has induced small-scale laboratories and research institutes to opt for DNA amplification and sequencing, thereby creating considerable demand for DNA markers.

Market growth in this segment will be faster than the growth of the market in the protein marker and RNA marker segments. This report provides an accurate prediction of the contribution of all the segments to the growth of the molecular weight marker market size.

Molecular Weight Marker Market: Key Drivers and Trends

Protein molecular weight standards/protein ladders, including pre-stained protein standards, unstained protein standards, and peptides, are being extensively used in therapeutic R&D. These protein ladders are dedicated for use in the SDS-PAGE electrophoresis method. SDS-PAGE is a widely utilized protein separation method that offers a simplified, quick, accurate, and efficient analysis of proteins at a comparatively low instrument and reagent cost. Because of such benefits, end-users such as pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, research institutes, and academic and CROs are using SDS-PAGE in protein biosimilar discovery and developments. Furthermore, the increasing prevalence of diseases and the rising demand for efficient treatments have led to a surge in research activities for developing recombinant protein therapeutics and protein biosimilars. The developments in recombinant protein therapeutics have increased the demand for protein purification and analysis using SDS-PAGE, which in turn, will influence the growth of the global molecular weight marker market during the forecast period.

• The microfluid chip technology has emerged as a potential alternative to conventional gel electrophoresis technologies.
• There is an increasing demand for alternative technologies that can automate and accelerate the process of electrophoresis because the traditional AGE and PAGE methods to analyze the quality and quantity of DNA, RNA, and proteins are time-consuming and laborious.
• Microfluid chip electrophoresis offers fast, accurate, and high-resolution separation and analysis of proteins and nucleic acids.
• During 2020-2024, the market will grow at a CAGR of over 12%.
