Download an Illustrative overview:
Probes accounted for the second-largest segment of the synthesized oligos product segment
Probes are an important subsegment in the market for synthesized oligonucleotides. The segment accounted for the second-largest market share of the synthesized oligonucleotide market. This is due to high specificity and sensitivity of probes allowing their use in genetic research, pathogen detection, clinical diagnostics, and the study of gene expression patterns, offering insights into diverse biological processes and disease mechanisms. Techniques such as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) utilize these probes for the detection of various genetic abnormalities that the root cause of several birth defects, neurological conditions and cancers among others.
Hospitals accounted for the largest share of the end-user segment in the oligonucleotide synthesis market
By end user, hospitals accounted for the largest share of the oligonucleotide synthesis market in 2023. Growth in this market is largely driven by the significant number of FDA-approvals for oligonucleotide-based drugs especially antisense oligonucleotide drugs for rare and neurological diseases, increasing awareness towards alternative therapies and growing health-care spending. Ongoing research to develop oligonucleotide-based drugs for more common diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, supported by availability of reimbursement policies in developed economies are aiding this segment's growth.
The PCR subsegment accounted for the largest share of the research applications segment in the oligonucleotide synthesis market
PCR accounted for the largest share of the research application subsegment of the oligonucleotide synthesis market. PCR technologies such as real-time PCR or quantitative PCR (qPCR) used for both qualitative and quantitative analysis in the fields of molecular diagnostics, medicine, microbiology, and forensic biology are driving end-user demand. These PCR applications utilize sequence-specific primers, thus boosting the market for oligos (which are used as probes and primers) in the PCR market.
