MARKET DRIVERS

Demand for Accurate Genomic Diagnosis and Infectious Disease Monitoring Drives APAC PCR Market

Over the past decade, demand has steadily increased in the Asia Pacific Digital PCR and qPCR market due to the increased use of genomic analysis techniques (microbiological identification and gene mutation detection) in the diagnosis of major infectious diseases (HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, hepatitis, staphylococci, etc.) and genetic disorders (such as cancer and syndromes). The increased global prevalence of target organisms, coupled with the effectiveness of qPCR and dPCR assays in diagnosing and estimating pathogenic microorganisms, has facilitated the use of clinical diagnostic tests (including qPCR and dPCR assays) and Asia-Pacific market growth. According to UNAIDS, about 36.9 million people worldwide are affected by HIV/AIDS as of 2017, with an average mortality of 900,000. Of these, 1.8 million new cases of HIV infection were reported in 2017 alone. In addition, in 2017, approximately 6.4 million new cases of TB were registered worldwide (WHO data, 2019). As of 2018, about 219 million patients worldwide have malaria, and 92% of cases were reported in WHO Africa alone.

The technical shortcomings of dPCR and qPCR and the high cost of advanced PCR equipment have limited the growth of digital PCR (dPCR) and real-time PCR (qPCR) in the Asia-Pacific market.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

Lack of Insurance, Skilled Experts, and High dPCR Costs Hamper Market Growth

The typical PCR analysis with dPCR instruments involves various integrated technologies (PCR, microfluidics, and nanofabrication) to achieve the desired process results. These devices are small and have short cycle times. However, the development of such devices requires significant capital investment and extensive scientific validation at the nanometer level.
