Global Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) Markers Market- Regional Analysis

Among all regions, North America region is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period. This is attributed due to the North America hold 34.6% market share owing to increasing research and development activities by the market players in the North America region. For instance, in the year 2021, Pfizer Inc., a pharmaceutical and Biotechnology company invested a total of US$ 120 million in four clinical-stage biotech companies, as part of the Pfizer Breakthrough Growth Initiative (PBGI), during the second half of the year 2020. Through PBGI, Pfizer Inc., invested up to US$ 500 million in biotechnology companies, which will provide funding and further access to Pfizer’s scientific expertise, which in turn, will help in the completion of the clinical development programs. Such investments are expected to increase the use of RNA markers and help in the growth of the market over the forecast period.

Europe region is expected to be the second largest region over the forecast period. Due to increasing investment for research and development activities by the market players. For instance, in June 2022, GSK plc, announced an investment of approximately US$ 1.08 million over ten years, in order to accelerate research and development (R&D) activities for infectious diseases that disproportionately impact lower-income countries. This is expected to increase the use of RNA markers for research and development activities. This research will increase production of disruptive vaccines and medicines, for the prevention and treatment of malaria, tuberculosis, HIV, neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), and anti-microbial resistance (AMR).

Global Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) Markers Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

During the COVID-19 pandemic there was increase in the growth of the global ribonucleic acid (RNA) markers market owning to launch of RNA extraction kits during COVID-19 pandemic. In the year 2021, Porvair Sciences, engaged in the development and manufacture of raw materials, launched new kits for rapid extraction of total RNA from a wide range of biological samples. These proprietary kits enable extraction of up to 1000 µg (microgram) of application-ready pure RNA in as little as 10 minutes. Extraction of RNA is the first step to identify any viral contamination and all the research after the extraction of RNA from the samples.

Moreover, due to increasing research and development activities for the production of COVID-19 vaccines, market players were collaborating by supplying raw materials required for the production of vaccines, which also included RNA markers. For instance, in 2020, Sanofi and BioNTech entered into an agreement under which Sanofi supported the manufacturing and supply of BioNTech’s COVID-19 mRNA vaccine, which was being co-developed with Pfizer Inc. Under this agreement, Sanofi provided BioNTech the access to its established infrastructure and expertise to produce over 125 million doses of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine in Europe.
