The Digital PCR (dPCR) and Real-time PCR (qPCR) Market size was estimated at $4876 million in 2020, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.2% during the forecast period 2021-2026. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique used for amplifying a specific target DNA sequence exponentially, allowing for the isolation, sequencing, or cloning of a single sequence among many. PCR is routinely utilized for a wide variety of medical biotechnology applications including human genome mapping, genotyping, cloning, mutation detection, sequencing, microarrays, forensics, and paternity testing. The rising incidence of target infectious diseases and genetic disorders, technological advancements in PCR technologies, increased investments, funds, and grants, increased use of biomarker profiling for disease diagnostics, and the successful completion of the Human Genome Project all contribute to the market’s growth. However, High instrument costs, particularly for dPCR, and the technical limits of PCR, on the other hand, are limiting market expansion during the forecast period 2021-2026.

However, Asia Pacific is set to be the fastest growing region owing the increase in the patient pool due to the increased frequency of chronic and infectious diseases, as well as increasing patient awareness about early identification of these diseases, thereby enhancing the demand for PCR products and resulting in market growth.
Digital PCR and Real-time PCR Market Drivers
Increasing Prevalence of Chronic infectious and Genetic Diseases
The increased use of Digital PCR and Real-time PCR is primarily due to the increasing prevalence of chronic infectious diseases. The use of genomic analysis tools in the diagnosis of major infectious diseases such as Covid-19, HIV, TB, malaria, and hepatitis and genetic abnormalities has increased substantially over the last decade such as cancer. Increase in the global prevalence of target diseases, together with the demonstrated usefulness of qPCR and dPCR analysis in the diagnosis and estimation of disease-causing bacteria, is set to drive up the use of clinical diagnostic tests such as qPCR and dPCR analysis, thereby supporting the market growth.
Digital PCR and Real-time PCR Market Challenge
Unregulated guideline and high Cost of the ProductThe use of qPCR and dPCR techniques are currently unregulated over the world, end users are hesitant to employ them in genetic analysis and illness detection. This is mostly due to a lack of uniformity in the methods for conducting qPCR/dPCR experiments in order to acquire high-quality findings in a timely way is the major factor preventing product acceptance. Moreover, the high cost of the procedure and unavailability of the skilled workforce are also limiting the adoption of these devices.
