The most widely extracted and purified nucleic acid types are genomic and plasmid DNA. Besides, the segment is projected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period.

The utilization of viral DNA and plasmid DNA is anticipated to grow at a lucrative pace over the years. This is because viral DNAs are increasingly used as vectors for gene therapy and nanobiological weapons for fighting with other viruses. Similarly, the employment of plasmid DNA has significantly increased in gene therapy and vaccine development in the past few years.

The RNA isolation and purification segment witnessed a lower penetration in 2019 as RNA is less stable as compared to DNA. Therefore, special care is required to ensure the purity of RNAs. However, miRNA isolation has received research attention lately as miRNA highly impacts biological pathways and alters a biological state of several genes. This has allowed the researchers to widely use miRNAs as a new research tool for therapeutic development.

Method Insights

The magnetic bead-based method accounted for the largest revenue share in the global market for nucleic acid isolation and purification. The segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest growth rate during the forecasted period. This method has gained immense popularity among researchers as it utilizes high capacity paramagnetic particles to isolate nucleic acids providing higher yields and purity when compared to other methods.

Researchers are also engaged in the development of open-source protocols for magnetic bead-based methods. This accelerates the segment growth as open-source protocols are adopted readily in academic institutes. The Bio-On-Magnetic-Beads (BOMB) is an open-source platform comprising of protocols for magnetic bead methodsthat are capable of assisting a diverse range of nucleic acid manipulation experiments.

Column based method also holds substantial revenue share in the nucleic acid isolation and purification market. It is commonly used in diagnostic laboratories as it requires no hazardous chemicals; and is a reliable, rapid, and consistent method. In addition, the silica membrane column-based method is extensively applied as it is convenient and yields high-quality DNA in a shorter time.

Application Insights of Nucleic Acid Isolation And Purification Market

The drug discovery and developmentsegment emerged as the dominant application in terms of revenue generation in 2019. This is attributive to the technological advancements in proteomics and genomics fields, which has broadened the development of therapeutics such as antisense therapy, gene therapy, and DNA vaccines in the healthcare industry.

In addition, isolation and purification techniques have revolutionized the development of antimicrobial drugs. These techniques allow rapid detection of pathogenic activity at DNA and RNA level, which has resulted in the detection of antimicrobial-resistant genes, and strain characterization by genotyping, thus accelerating the drug development segment growth.

Oncology is projected to expand as a fast-growing application as the circulating nucleic acids in plasma and serum act as an early diagnostic marker for cancer. This factor plays an essential role in personalized diagnosis and prognosis in clinical oncology. The nucleic acid aptamers are also gaining immense popularity in targeted cancer therapy.

End-use Insights

Hospitals and diagnostic centers held the largest revenue share due to a rise in the usage of nucleic acid-based therapeutics for early and accurate diagnosis of genetic and inherited diseases. The growing number of genetic fingerprinting, prenatal testing, and liquid biopsies also tend to raise the application of extraction processes at a considerable rate in hospitals and diagnostic centers.
