The new research study consists of industry trends, detailed market analysis, patent analysis, share analysis, market forecast, and opportunity analysis. The growth in the market size over the next decade is likely to result from the growing demand for target-specific therapies for treating diseases.

Given the growing preference for target-specific therapies, RNA-based therapies, vaccines, and drugs emerge as promising for preventing, managing, and treating diseases. In recent years, molecular biology techniques have significantly advanced, enabling early disease diagnosis and treatment. Further, during an outbreak of COVID-19, pharmaceutical companies have taken a paradigm shift towards molecular diagnostics and treatment that require high-quality RNA. It is believed that RNA isolation, extraction, and analysis are essential to developing RNA-based drugs, therapies, and vaccines. However, the conventional approach of RNA extraction is time-consuming and costly, requires skilled personnel, and poses challenges such as inappropriate throughput, RNA deterioration, and chances of errors. As a result, pharmaceutical companies have developed RNA extraction and RNA purification kits with all the necessary reagents for easy nucleic acid extraction.

These RNA extraction and purification instruments are reliable, easy to use, high yielding and safe to extract extra nucleic acid from a broad range of samples, including blood, cells, microorganisms, tissues, and saliva. Notably, over 740 RNA extraction and purification kits have been developed by the key players in the market. These kits offer various benefits, such as reduced human intervention and chances of contamination, as well as saving plenty of time required for the isolation of nucleic acid. Furthermore, these RNA extraction instruments automate various processes and possess the ability to handle a variety of samples within a single run, producing maximum results with minimal risk of manual errors.

Though these kits offer various significances, there are several limitations associated with the automation of RNA extraction, such as sample type compatibility, RNA integrity, yield purity, and inaccurate representation of gene expression. To address these concerns, extensive research has been carried out by key players to identify / develop strategies to improve RNA extraction and RNA purification kits, reagents, and instruments. It is worth noting that more than 2,300 patents associated with RNA extraction and RNA purification have been filed / granted within the past few years. Owing to the increasing adoption of molecular diagnostics and treatment modalities, the RNA extraction and RNA purification market is estimated to grow substantially during the forecast period.
