Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product. These products are often proteins, but in non-protein coding genes such as transfer RNA (tRNA) or small nuclear RNA (snRNA) genes, the product is a functional RNA.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the global Gene Expression market size was US$ 2588.5 million in 2022 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 4294.8 million by 2029 with a CAGR of 7.0% during the forecast period 2023-2029. Fully considering the economic change by this health crisis, Consumables accounting for % of the Gene Expression global market in 2022, is projected to value US$ million by 2029, growing at a revised ?GR from 2023 to 2029. While Drug Discovery segment is altered to an ?GR throughout this forecast period.
Market is expected to grow at a decent rate over the forecast period driven by rising number of cancer patients, facilities for financial funding, decreased cost of sequencing, and high concentration on research & development. In emerging economies, the industry offers advantageous opportunities for growth with rising concentration on adoption and precision as well as personalization in medicines. However, currency devaluation in developing economies and initial capital investment of different instruments are considered as restraint as well as challenge for the industry.
