Overview of Report Findings

      1.   Market Growth: The digital PCR and real-time PCR market is expected to reach US$ 17.54 billion by 2031 from US$ 9.55 billion in 2024; it is anticipated to record a CAGR of 9.1% during the forecast period. Digital PCR (dPCR) and Real-Time PCR (qPCR) are sophisticated molecular biology methods applied to quantify DNA or RNA. qPCR, i.e., quantitative PCR, is used to amplify and simultaneously quantify a specific DNA sequence. It is achieved by using fluorescent dyes or probes that emit signals proportional to the amount of DNA generated in each cycle. qPCR is applied to analyze gene expression, detect mutations, and quantify pathogens. dPCR divides a sample into thousands of reactions, enabling quantification of target DNA or RNA molecules, particularly in low-abundance samples. The adoption of these techniques is increasing due to the demand for accurate and sensitive diagnostic devices in molecular biology. Advancements in dPCR, particularly chip and droplet-based technology, enhance sensitivity and accuracy. qPCR is also becoming increasingly popular since it can provide real-time monitoring of amplification, a demand that various applications have. As manufacturers innovate cutting-edge solutions, the landscape of molecular diagnostics will evolve, offering better functionality for researchers and clinicians. The overall demand is growing substantially as both technologies become more widespread and central to personalized medicine.

      2.   Increasing Advancements in PCR Technologies: PCR technology has been explored into non-conventional applications, making molecular diagnosis easier and faster. Digital and real-time PCR advancements diagnose diseases, identify viruses and bacteria, and aid forensic investigations. Researchers are trying to reduce test time using nanomaterials. In March 2023, the Center for Augmented Safety System with Intelligence, Sensing of the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) announced the development of an ultrafast PCR technology by Dr. Sang Kyung Kim (Director) and Dr. Seungwon Jung's research team. The ultrafast PCR reduces the test duration by ten times compared to the previous test by using photothermal nanomaterials. The diagnostic performance of the new method is similar to the current test method and can be completed in 5 minutes. In September 2021, Thermo Fisher Scientific launched the Applied Biosystems QuantStudio Absolute Q Digital PCR System, the first fully integrated dPCR system designed to provide accurate and consistent results within 90 minutes. Thus, technological advancements in PCR technologies propel the market growth.

      3.   Soaring Adoption of PCR Methods in Emerging Countries: In recent years, PCR has evolved as a diagnostic technology. The method enables healthcare professionals to diagnose infectious diseases and is considered an indispensable research and diagnostic tool. With emerging nations investing in enhancing healthcare infrastructure, there is a growing need for sophisticated diagnostic technologies to combat infectious diseases and cancer. The high sensitivity and precision of dPCR and qPCR make them vital for early diagnosis and customized treatment regimes. In addition, the economic viability of PCR technologies is rising as global players increase their foothold in emerging economies, placing these sophisticated diagnostic technologies within reach. Governments and healthcare providers are focusing on developing molecular diagnostics, further enhancing the need for PCR-based solutions. With the spread of chronic diseases and the increased interest in healthcare innovation, dPCR and qPCR adoption is expected to accelerate.

      4.   Geographical Insights: In 2024, North America led the digital PCR and real-time PCR market with a substantial revenue share, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific. Further, Asia Pacific is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
