High-Resolution Melting Analysis Market

Global High-Resolution Melting Analysis Market Size (2022 to 2027)

The size of the global high-resolution melting analysis market is predicted to be worth USD 287.88 million in 2022 and USD 343.57 million by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 3.6% during the forecast period

The high-resolution melting analysis is a powerful and robust methodology in molecular biology to detect epigenetic differences, polymorphisms, and mutations in double-stranded DNA samples. It was first discovered and developed by Idaho Technology and the University of Utah. High-resolution melting analysis has several advantages over genotyping technologies, such as cost-effectiveness, it is robust and rapid compared to genotyping technologies, and it is relatively straightforward.

MARKET DRIVERS:

Increasing investment in R&D, increasing applications of this technology in epigenetics, and digitizing mutations are significantly driving the growth of the global high-resolution melting analysis market.

Benefits such as no probe use, closed tube system, prevention of post-PCR sample contamination, and high precision of melting profile analysis further drive the growth of the HRM analysis market.

The global high-resolution melting analysis market is likely to have a successful future due to the ongoing research and development in this field sponsored by several prominent companies operating in this particular field. For example, the United States FDA approves many treatments designed to meet a specific genomic profile or the genetic makeup of the patient's tumor.

Additionally, factors such as the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, increasing demand for personalized medicine, and supportive government initiatives are expected to impact the HRM testing market positively. Personalized medicine, also known as precision medicine, is a powerful and innovative approach to preventing and treating disease after considering the differences in different genetic combinations, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Recent developments in next-generation sequencing (NGS), genomics, and big data analysis have contributed to the strengthening of the precision medicine approach. TheIn addition, the FDA has previously addressed several treatment options designed to meet the requirements of a specific genetic makeup or genomic profile of a patient's tumor. It, in turn, is expected to drive demand for HRM analysis over the forecast period.

Opportunities for growth in biotechnology research, well-established reimbursement policies, increased government investment in academic institutions. And a favorable regulatory environment is a key factor in the development of the academic research segment. Besides, according to the OECD, there has been a significant increase in the number of patents granted in biotechnology due to intellectual property importance. The development in molecular biology, biotechnology, and medicine is expected to increase the demand for human resource management products in the academic research segment.

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

A technical limitation associated with HRM-QPCR analysis is hampering the market growth. Problems related to data storage are limiting the market growth. Reducing Cost of Other Genotyping Technologies Hinder Market Growth

The expected reduction in other genotyping technologies is a significant challenge to the global HRM analysis market. In addition, the security concerns associated with the storage of data are another major challenge.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global high-resolution melting analysis market

Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to more than 180 countries worldwide, and the World Health Organization has declared it a public health emergency. The global impacts of the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) are already starting to be felt and will significantly affect the high-resolution melting analysis market in 2020. The COVID-19 outbreak has had effects in many aspects, such as flight cancellations; travel bans and quarantines; restaurants closed; all restricted interior events; declared an emergency in many countries; a massive downturn in the supply chain; the unpredictability of the stock market; declining business security, growing public panic, and uncertainty about the future. COVID-19 can influence the global economy in three ways, directly influencing production and demand, creating supply chain and market interference, and its financial impact on businesses and financial markets.
