North America to Reign Supreme, Asia Pacific Market to Register an Uptick
North America is foreseen to remain the kingpin of the global PCR market. This is attributed to adoption of new biotechnologies, increased awareness about PCR products, significant fund allocation for research in national budgets, early availability of advanced technologies, and a rise in R&D activities in the region. For example, the advent of multifaceted synthetic and bioprospected polymerases and development of symbiotic sequencing technologies have transformed the PCR market in North America. The regional market is projected to record a CAGR of 7.5% and account for nearly half of the global market value by 2026.
Asia Pacific’s PCR market is anticipated to experience healthy growth during the forecast period. This is primarily due to improvements in healthcare infrastructure, a rise in public and private investment in life science research, and technological advancements in the healthcare industry in developing economies. Significant expansion of market players in Asia Pacific through licensing and distribution agreements with local players is also anticipated to fuel the PCR market growth. A prolific CAGR of 9.7% is projected for the Asia-Pacific region for the predefined timeframe.

Product Launches and R&D Remain Important Growth Strategies
The global PCR market is consolidated, with leading players such as Roche Diagnostics, Abbott Laboratories and Thermo Fishers Scientific accounting for the maximum share. However, new entrants are finding a marketplace, owing to the introduction of advanced technologies.
F. Hoffmann La- Roche AG, one of the dominant market players, offers diverse products and solutions in various fields including clinical chemistry and immunoassay, molecular diagnostics, and tissue diagnostics. The company specializes in the provision of real-time PCR and includes products such as Cobas S 201, CobasTaqScreen MPX Test, Cobas 4800 System and LightCylinder MRSA Advanced Test.
Competitors, such as Becton, Dickinson and Company, also have a market presence via focus on R&D and new product launches. The company offers Real Time PCR systems, PCR assays and PCR Cloning Kits. Some products include the BD MAX System, BD-Qzyme Assays and BD In-Fusion.
COVID-19 Impact Assessment
With the number of coronavirus cases growing exponentially per day and no vaccine or drug across the horizon, healthcare providers have their hands full. In the wake of such rapidly increasing cases, the demand for testing kits has surged. In India, the number of tests for the detection of the COVID-19 exceeded the 4 million mark as of June 2020. Testing capacity has been increased to 140,000 per day across more than 600 government and private laboratories during this period. Amongst all the testing mechanisms which are currently employed, PCR remains the most prevalent. The test is being extensively employed to detect the presence of the virus and to determine the degree of infection within the patient.
A high degree of accuracy and reliability of testing data is what makes the RT-PCR approach highly popular amongst medical practitioners to detect COVID-19 cases. The testing typically takes 4 to 8 hours while the results are delivered almost 24 hours after the testing has been conducted. Due to this time lag, healthcare settings are looking for alternative testing mechanisms capable of delivering the results in a shorter timeframe. Nevertheless, the RT-PCR testing is projected to maintain an upward sloping curve until the time the pandemic is here to stay. Additionally, home testing kits are being rolled out to facilitate unfettered access to rapid and safe COVID-19 testing.
The Analyst’s Viewpoint
“Testing kit manufacturers are exploring multifarious ways to enhance the quality of RT-PCR tests, given the high degree of time-lag between the testing and results. Emphasis on maintaining the geometric amplification of the target gene is being stressed upon to deliver consistent results throughout the testing process, paving way for more accurate data.”
