The global digital PCR market size reached US$ 4.3 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 7.9 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5% during 2023-2028.

Digital polymerase chain reaction, or digital PCR (dPCR), refers to an end-point, high-throughput absolute quantitative analytics that assists in measuring the DNA or RNA count in a given sample in a precise and sensitive way. Designed for absolute quantification and the analysis of minority sequences against a background of similar majority sequences, it is semi-quantitative as the amplified product is detected by agarose gel electrophoresis. When compared to its traditional counterparts, digital PCR uses a wide range of methods, such as droplet-based, chip-based, and beaming dPCR, to facilitate diverse applications. As a result, dPCR methods are extensively utilized in basic and diagnostic research, such as human genetic testing, pathogen detection, infectious disease testing and forensic sciences.

Digital PCR Market Trends:
The market is primarily driven by the increasing healthcare expenditure on molecular diagnosis across the globe. This can be attributed to the rising prevalence of numerous diseases, such as genetic disorders, COVID-19, lung cancer, brain tumors, breast cancer and blood cancer. In addition to this, the escalating consumer demand for early diagnosis and treatment has resulted in extensive research and development (R&D) focusing on genetic technologies, which, in turn, is propelling the market. Besides this, continual technological advancements in PCR technologies, along with the launch of innovative devices for droplet, chip-based, beam, and crystal dPCR by major market players, are creating a positive outlook for the market. The market is further driven by the growing adoption of dPCR devices in reference laboratories for detecting genetic mutations and identifying pathogens, thereby leading to a higher product uptake. Some of the other factors that are contributing to the market growth include favorable initiatives undertaken by governmental and federal agencies across the globe, a paradigm shift from plant-derived to genome-based drug discovery, and augmenting product applications in food microbiology and veterinary medicine.
