The global miRNA sequencing and assay market size is expected to reach USD 823.5 Million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 13.3% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc.. For instance, various research studies stated that miRNAs can be efficiently used as biomarkers in the prognosis and diagnosis of cancer (cervical, ovarian, and breast), sepsis, cardiovascular diseases, and nervous system conditions. Thus, miRNA sequence analysis is significantly employed for gene regulation analysis in clinical disorders. For instance, an article published in frontiers, in March 2022, stated that blood-based miRNA biomarkers could be used to correlate brain-based miRNA expression.
The COVID-19 pandemic has enhanced the usage of miRNA to identify the presence of coronavirus. miRNA biomarkers have potential application to indicate and diagnose the COVID-19 severity. It plays a significant role in immune response, viral proliferation, replication of infected cells, and cardiovascular dysfunction. In addition, plasma recovered from COVID-19 patients is rich in antibodies and antiviral miRNAs. It has been utilized to treat COVID-19-infected patients. This has resulted in increasing research studies that focus on the miRNA sequence analysis from the patient as well as the virus.
Prominent players such as PerkinElmer Inc.; Illumina, Inc.; and Qiagen offer innovative sequencing products for several clinical applications. Furthermore, these companies have entered into several strategic initiatives with research institutes to expand the sequencing application in research studies. For instance, in January 2022, BIORCHESTRA, a South Korean biopharmaceutical company, entered into a partnership agreement with SK Biopharmaceuticals to accelerate research and development into novel therapeutic compounds that target miRNAs.
Key market players are involved in the development of new tools, instruments, and kits with high specificity and reproducibility, which is fueling the market growth. For instance, in October 2019, TriLink BioTechnologies introduced two primer sets for its CleanTag kit. Thermo Fisher Scientific's sequencer platform can prepare small RNA libraries using these new Ion Torrent Convert barcode primer sets. Such launches are expected to boost market growth.
