Global Western Blotting Market – Driver

Increasing prevalence of HIV

Increasing prevalence of HIV is expected to drive the global western blotting market over the forecast period as western blotting is mostly used for detection of HIV. For instance, in January 2022, according to data published by UNAIDS, a Joint United Nations Programme which is involved in data collection on HIV epidemiology, 1.5 million people became newly infected with HIV in 2021.

Global Western Blotting Market- Regional Analysis

Among regions, North America is estimated to hold a dominant position in the global western blotting market over the forecast period. North America holds 45.1% of the market share due to the increasing prevalence of HIV in the region. For instance, in October 2022, according to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, approximately 1.2 million people in the U.S. have HIV and about 13 % of them don’t know if they are suffering from HIV and need testing.

Global Western Blotting Market – Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease spread to over 100 countries across the globe, and the World Health Organization declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.

COVID-19 affected the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting the production and demand of drugs, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to nationwide lockdowns, several countries such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E., Egypt, and others are facing problems with the transportation of drugs from one place to another.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the global western blotting market as western blotting was widely used during the pandemic. For instance, in December 2020, Science Direct, a scientific journal, stated that Western blots were used to identify antigens that could form the basis for developing a COVID-19 vaccine.

Global Western Blotting Market Segmentation:

The global western blotting market report is segmented into product type, application, end user, and region

Based on Product Type, the market is segmented into electrophoresis blotting systems (automated dry blotting systems, semi-dry blotting systems, traditional wet transfer blotting systems), reagents & kits (chromogenic reagents kits, chemiluminescent reagents kits)(horseradish peroxidase (hrp) substrate, alkaline phosphatase (ap) substrate), fluorescent reagents, antibodies(primary antibody, secondary antibody), buffer kits, transfer membranes). Out of which, the electrophoresis blotting systems segment is expected to hold a dominant position in the western blotting market during the forecast period and this is attributed to the increasing usage of electrophoresis blotting systems for the diagnosis of diseases.

Based on Application, the market is segmented into scientific research, medical diagnostics, agricultural application, food & beverages, and other applications. Out of which, the medical diagnostics segment is expected to hold a dominant position in the western blotting market during the forecast period and this is attributed to the increasing prevalence of HIV.

Based on End User, the market is segmented into diagnostic laboratories, research institutions, and pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies. Out of which, diagnostic laboratories is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period and this is attributed to the increase in the number of diagnoses for the identification of infections like HIV.

Among all segmentation, the application segment has the highest potential due to the increasing prevalence of HIV over the forecast period. For instance, in 2022, according to data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), stated that in 2020, 30,635 people received an HIV diagnosis in the U.S.
