Kit Type Insights

The detection kits segment dominated the market in 2022 with a revenue share of over 25.9%. This can be attributed to the widespread utilization of detection kits at various end-use settings, such as healthcare, industrial processing, food, and agriculture. With the growing need to curb the COVID-19 virus, the production of detection kits has increased over the past few months.

For instance, in May 2021, the Defence Research and Development Organisation’slaboratory, the Defence Institute of Physiology and Allied Sciences (DIPAS), introduced an antibody-dependent kit DIPCOVAN DIPAS-VDx SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody Microwell ELISA for sero-surveillance. This kit can recognize both Spikes and Nucleocapsid (S&N) protein of coronavirus with 97% sensitivity and 99% specificity. The detection kit is manufactured in collaboration with Vanguard Diagnostics Private Limited.

Increasing demand for molecular diagnostics is a major factor contributing to the growth of amplification kits. Biotechnology and healthcare companies have increased the production of RT-PCR-based testing kits due to the rapid rise in the number of COVID-19 cases around the world. For instance, in January 2021, New England BioLab, Inc. launched the Luna SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR Assay Kit for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid.

Technology Insights

Cell culture technology dominated the market with a revenue share of more than 27% in 2022 and is followed by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology. Increasing demand for cell culture reagents by the research community is driving the segment growth. The comprehensive portfolio of cell culture media and reagents owned by companies has supplemented the market growth.

PCR is one of the key technologies used for the detection and analysis of specific gene sequences. Currently available real-time PCR assays offer high specificity and sensitivity, and are, thereby, considered the go-to methods for various genomic studies. Currently, the PCR technique is considered the most accurate, for the detection of COVID-19, leading to a significant increase in the adoption of PCR testing kits and reagents.

Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) is now considered a reliable and powerful tool for the characterization of cell lines used for the production of gene therapy, vaccines, and recombinant proteins. Thus, with the advancements in sequencing techniques, the market for sequencing reagents is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period.
