qPCR Reagents Market

Industry Overview

Qualitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) reagent is the mixture used in the qPCR technique to quantitate DNA sequence in a sample to synthesis new strands of DNA. It is also known as real-time polymerase chain reaction. The global qPCR reagents market is growing at significant rate due to mounting occurrence of infectious diseases and genetic disorders, technological improvement and speedy progression in geriatric population. The market has witnessed high demand for qPCR core kits over the last few years, due to low prices of core kits.

Market Segmentation

Insight by Detection Method

There are two types of detection methods for qPCR reagents, dye-based, and probes and primer-based. Of both probe and primer based detection method is expected to grow at the faster rate in the market due to its benefits over the dye based such as more exact than dye based.

Insight by Packaging Type
