Global DNA/Gene Microarray Market, By Type [Oligonucleotide DNA Microarrays and Complementary DNA Microarrays], By Application [Genomics, Proteomics, Agricultural Biology, Environment, Drug Research and Development, Cancer/oncology and Others (SNP Analysis, etc.)], By End User [Biopharmaceutical and Pharmaceutical Companies, Diagnostic Laboratories, Research Laboratories and Others(Academic Institutes, etc.)], and By Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa) is estimated to be valued at US$ 4.24 Billion in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 12.9% during the forecast period (2023-2030), as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Key market players are focusing on adopting various growth strategies, such as agreemnet and others, which will drive the global DNA/Gene microarray market. For instance, in April 2020, Agilent Technologies Inc., a global life science compnay and SomaLogic, Inc., a privately held biotechnology company, announced a multi-year supply agreement under which Agilent Technologies Inc. will supply customized high-fidelity oligo microarrays for use in the nucleic acid detection step within SomaLogic's novel SOMAscan assay, a protein measurement platform with applications across basic and clinical research, diagnostics, and pharmaceutical discovery and development.
Global DNA/Gene Microarray Market – Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
The World Health Organization (WHO) designated the illness caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which first appeared in Wuhan (province of Hubei, China) in the last months of 2019, as "coronavirus disease 2019" or COVID-19. This virus spread quickly and had a serious negative impact on the economies, social behaviors, and healthcare of every country in the world.
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected several markets across the globe and is also expected to hamper the demand and supply in global DNA/gene microarray market. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected demand and supply of the global DNA/gene microarray market in three main ways: by directly affecting production and demand; by creating disruptions in distribution channels; and by having a financial impact on firms and financial markets. The supply chain and manufacturing activities of viral conjunctivitis drugs in India, China, and the U.S. are disrupted due to nationwide lockdowns. Whereas countries such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, and others are facing problems with regards to the transportation of drugs from one place to another.
COVID-19 had a positive impact on the global DNA/gene microarray market, as researchers were focused on developing SARS-CoV-2 variant protein microarrays for profiling humoral immunity in vaccinated patients. For instance, in March 2022, according to the report published in the National Center for Biotechnology information, the use of a protein microarray platform to evaluate the efficacy of an inactivated virus vaccine against different variants of SARS-CoV-2 was reported. The report also stated that this platform was highly effective for profiling humoral immunity by immobilizing multiple agents.
