Microarray Analysis Market Overview and Introduction

The Global Microarray Analysis Market was estimated to be over US$ 3.7 Billion in 2018. It is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2019 to 2030.

Microarray is a device which is used to detect the expression of multiple genes simultaneously. Microarray technology is used for identifying as well as specifying the function of genes and simultaneously detecting the expression of the gene in different environmental conditions. Microarray technology finds major application in the field of pharmacogenomics. Pharmacogenomics is the branch of science, which deals with the identification of responses to definite therapeutic drugs, by an individual with a distinct genetic makeup. The microarray analysis study of a particular gene from a diseased or a normal cell assists in identifying the biochemical composition of the proteins synthesized by the respective cell in consideration. This in turn provides information regarding drugs which are to be synthesized to combat these proteins and ultimately reduce its effects.

The global microarray market is driven by increasing use of microarray technology (DNA Microarray) in diagnosis of cancer. According to World Health Organization (WHO), increasing incidences of cancer across the globe is supporting the growth of microarray analysis market. Moreover, increasing use of microarray analysis in diagnosis of genetic diseases, diagnostics, genome mapping and sequencing have been pivotal in contributing to the extensive growth of the global microarray market. However, DNA microarray is incapable of exhibiting changes for protein levels, which is an important criterion in detecting toxicity effect on the body. Moreover, complexity of data obtained through DNA microarray analysis is likely to restrain the market to a certain extent.
