The global real-time PCR, digital PCR, and end-point PCR market size is expected to reach USD 7.18 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 4.2% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. However, the real global real-time PCR, digital PCR, and end-point PCR market without the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7% from 2023 to 2030. Digital PCR is a novel technique for absolute quantification and analysis of minority sequences in the presence of similar majority sequences. dPCR allows for precise and sensitive nucleic acid measurement. In addition, real-time PCR provides precise and early diagnosis of diseases and rapid and targeted patient care hence anticipated to increase the demand in the coming years.

The rise in the occurrence of diseases such as lung cancer, blood cancer, and brain tumors is fueling the application expansion of the global market. According to Globocan 2020, lung cancer is the second most common cancer in Europe, with an estimated 477,534 newly diagnosed cases. Furthermore, the benefits of digital polymerase chain reaction over traditional technologies such as real-time and quantitative polymerase chain reaction are likely to drive adoption throughout the forecast period. Moreover, rising healthcare expenditures in emerging nations and the increased need for accurate molecular disease detection are propelling the market growth.

Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the demand for digital PCR instruments and reagents. COVID-19 infections are detected using modern digital PCR instruments as a molecular diagnosis technique. According to the WHO, around 273 million cases have been diagnosed and roughly 5.3 million deaths have been documented worldwide due to COVID-19 as of December 2021. Moreover, in the pharmaceutical industry, digital PCR machines are also employed in R&D.
