The global DNA polymerase market size is expected to reach USD 136.5 million by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 1.30% from 2023 to 2030. DNA polymerase are essential enzymes involved in the replication and repair of DNA in living organisms. These polymerases market has experienced significant growth in recent years due to the increasing demand for DNA polymerases in various applications, such as molecular diagnostics, genetic engineering, and drug development. Moreover, the increasing use of such polymerases in various industries, such as pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and forensics, has further fueled the expansion of this market.
In addition, rising prevalence of genetic disorders and cancers is another factor is driving the growth of the market. According to the Genetic and Rare Disease (GARD) Information Centre reports there are more than 7,000 rare diseases. In the U.S. alone, it is estimated that between 25 million and 30 million people are living with a rare disease, and this number continues to rise. Additionally, at least 200,000 people are known survivors of genetic disorders, while over 30,000 babies and children are diagnosed annually with genetic disorders in the UK, resulting in more than 2.4 million survivors of various genetic conditions. This trend is expected to continue over the forecast period, leading to a growing demand for DNA polymerase and related products.
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increased demand for diagnostics and therapeutic development, resulting in a surge in the market. To better understand the virus and develop effective testing strategies, researchers and healthcare professionals have relied on DNA polymerases for various molecular diagnostic techniques, such as PCR and RT-PCR. This increased demand has resulted in a significant expansion of the market. The urgency to combat COVID-19 has propelled scientific innovation and collaboration efforts to develop new diagnostic tools and therapies. For instance, Ginkgo Bioworks, a biotechnology company, has launched Concentric by Ginkgo, a large-scale COVID-19 testing service that depends on DNA polymerase-based techniques like PCR. This initiative showcases the role of DNA polymerases in innovative diagnostic solutions.
The development of novel DNA polymerase with enhanced properties, such as high fidelity, processivity, and resistance to inhibitors, has expanded their range of applications. These advancements have allowed researchers to conduct more complex experiments and explore previously inaccessible areas of the genome. As the demand for efficient and accurate DNA polymerases increases, innovations in this area are expected to boost the market further.
Furthermore, the growing investment in personalized medicine research and the rising awareness of its benefits are expected to drive the market in the coming years. For instance, in December 2020, Tempus, a precision medicine technology company, secured USD 200 million in Series G-2 funding, leading to a substantial valuation of USD 8.1 billion. The company plans to use the additional funding to expand its operations and focus on a range of diseases, including infectious diseases, depression, and cardiology. Personalized medicine is an emerging field that aims to provide tailored treatment options based on an individual's genetic makeup. DNA polymerase play a crucial role in sequencing, which is an essential component of personalized medicine.
