Immobilon transfer membranes are also gaining popularity as they are capable of binding proteins that are transferred from various gel matrices. They are microporous PVDF transfer membranes and are hydrophobic with a high binding capacity.

COVID-19 Impact Evaluation

The world witnessed a major unprecedented outbreak of coronavirus in 2020 and this led to a paradigm shift in world activity. A pandemic of such epic proportions had a negative impact on the world economy, which, in turn, caused several markets to topple under pressure from lockdown restrictions across the world.

The transfer membrane market took a hit amidst the COVID-19 pandemic as several research and development projects were closed due to lockdown restrictions. All of the research was focused on developing vaccines for coronavirus, which kept the transfer membrane market afloat to a certain extent; however, for a major part, the industry experienced a negative growth trend.

Demand for transfer membranes is predicted to rise at a slow CAGR in the post-pandemic era but will see some good opportunities owing to increasing investments in the R&D sector by public and private institutions alike.
