RNA Extraction and RNA Purification Market

RNA Extraction and RNA Purification Market Overview

The RNA extraction and RNA purification market (for kits) is estimated to be worth $29.5 billion in 2022. Over the last few decades, there have been significant advancements in the field of molecular biology. In this domain, molecular diagnostic testing has emerged an important tool for disease diagnosis and monitoring. In fact, with outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020, the industry witnessed a significant surge in the demand for molecular diagnostics. As a result of this, researchers shifted their focus on the development of more efficient molecular diagnostic methods, such as RNA extraction kit and RNA purification kit. It is believed that RNA extraction, RNA isolation and analysis of high-quality RNA is an essential process in molecular diagnosis and molecular biology studies, focused on research and development of therapeutics. However, the manual methods of RNA extraction and purification are associated with several challenges; these include, requirement of massive amount of starting material, inadequate throughput, chances of manual error and contamination and deteriorated quality of RNA. Moreover, manual methods require extensive manipulation, costly reagents, long duration of processing and skilled professionals. As a result, RNA extraction and RNA purification kit have emerged as innovative tools to overcome the challenges associated with conventional, manual methods. These kits are more reliable, efficient, high yielding and are compatible with a broad range of input samples, including blood, cells, tissue, plasma, saliva and microbes. Further, these kits reduce the need for manual intervention, which, as a result, reduces the chances of contamination and saves the time and efforts for RNA extraction and purification.

Post the onset of COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a significant rise in demand for RNA extraction kits for detection of SARS-CoV-2. Presently, more than 700 RNA extraction kit and RNA purification kit and over 180 RNA extraction and purification instruments are available in the market. These RNA extraction kit and instruments provide desirable quality and quantity of RNA. Moreover, these instruments can be applied in an automated manner, having the ability to test multiple samples in a single run, generating reproducible results with minimal risk of human errors. Along with various advantages, automated methods have some limitations. In order to overcome these drawbacks, extensive research is being carried out to identify / develop ways to improve the RNA extraction and RNA purification kit and instruments. In fact, over 2,300 patents related to RNA extraction and RNA purification have been filed / granted in the past few years. With the increasing adoption of molecular diagnostics and introduction of novel and advanced RNA extraction and purification techniques, the RNA isolation and purification market is anticipated to witness steady market growth during the forecast period.
