Molecular Weight Marker Market by Products (DNA, RNA, Protein Ladders), Type (Prestained, Specialty), Application (PCR, Western Blotting, Gel Extraction), & End User (Academic Institutes, Pharmaceutical Companies, CRO) – Global Forecast to 2019

“The global molecular weight markers market comprises of DNA, Protein and RNA markers. The molecular weight markers market is further divided on the basis of type and size. The molecular weight markers by type consist of 3 segments, namely, prestained, unstained and specialty markers. DNA molecular weight markers by size consist of 5 subsegments: below 50 base pair (bp), 50 bp to 100 bp, 100 bp to 1 kilo base pair (kb), 1 kb to 5 kb and above 5 kb. Protein molecular weight markers by size consist of 4 subsegments: below 10 kilo Dalton (kDa), 10 kDa to 100 kDa, 100 kDa to 200 kDa and above 200 kDa markers.

Molecular weight markers have applications in a large number of life science research fields. On the basis of applications, the report is segmented into nucleic acid applications and protein applications. The nucleic acid applications had the largest share of the molecular weight markers market in 2014. It is classified into PCR, sequencing, northern blotting, southern blotting, molecular cloning, and other nucleic acid applications. On the other hand the protein applications segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2014 and 2019. It classified into western blotting, gel extraction, other protein applications

The geographic segments included in this report are North America, Europe, Asia and Rest of the World (RoW). The geographic analysis reveals that North America accounted for the largest share in the global molecular weight markers market in 2014. Asia regional segment, on the other hand, is expected to register a faster growth from 2014 to 2019, due to rapid increase in R&D investment in this region.

The key driver for this market is increased public sector research funding, which has a strong upward trend worldwide. Furthermore, growing partnerships between biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies to increase R&D activities and innovations in technology and will aid the growth of the global molecular weight markers market.
