Multiplex Assay Market

Market Definition

The Global Multiplex Assay Market size was valued at USD 77.8 million in 2019, and is predicted to reach USD 153.9 million by 2030, with a CAGR of 6.4% from 2020-2030.

In a multiplex assay test, multiple analytes are simultaneously measured in a single experiment, thereby amplifying multiple targets in a single PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction). Multiple assay test collects more information in lesser time with minute quantities of proteins, cytokines, biomolecules, and other analytes.

Multiplex assay tests hold wide applications in clinical laboratories, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, research institutes, and others; for mutation analysis, DNA & RNA detection, pathogen detection, forensic studies, linkage analysis and other such investigations. Furthermore, the increasing adoption of companion diagnostic systems, are bringing an upsurge in the demand for efficient multiplex assay tests, thereby supplementing the growth of multiplex assay market.

Market Dynamics and Trends

Multiplex Assay market is proliferating, owing to various benefits offered by these automated tests such as, requirement of minimal substrates, different arrays measured in a single trial, faster results, easy operations, reduced labor costs, and higher operational efficacy.

Competitive Landscape

The multiplex assay market is highly competitive and consists of various market players. Some of the major market players include Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Luminex Corporation, Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc., Illumina Inc., Becton, Dickinson and Company, QIAGEN N.V., Seegene Inc., Abcam PLC, Randox Laboratories Ltd., and Meso Scale Diagnostics LLC, among others.

The market players are contributing their part in saving the world from the COVID-19 pandemic, by undergoing various R&D activities to carry-out clinical researches, and to develop and deploy new products that can assist in fighting the novel corona virus. Moreover, increasing number of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approvals further stimulates the growth of multiplex assay market.

In April 2020, Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc., one of the major players in the global multiplex assay market, announced that it has received the Emergency Use Authorization by the U.S FDA for its Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) SARS-CoV-2 Test Kit that runs on Bio-Rad's QX200 and QXDx ddPCR systems. Due to high sensitivity of this test it is well-suited for screening upper respiratory track samples in patients either in the early stage of infection, having lower viral load, or in patients recovering from the infection. Hence, it offers higher efficiency and accuracy of the result, as compared to conventional PCR tests.

Also, in the same month, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., announced the launch of ‘Serology Assay,’ a blood-based immunoassay kit, formulated to identify antibodies to the virus associated with COVID-19 pandemic, the SARS-CoV-2. Of the 700 samples detected by this test, 99% success result have been achieved.

Moreover, in March 2020, Thermo Fisher Scientific, one of the major players in the global multiplex assay market, announced the launch of its five new Thermo Scientific SureTect PCR Assay test kits, along with an updated software to test food and related samples. These test kits are used for investigating presence of Cronobacter species, Listeria species, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella species, Salmonella Enteritidis, and Salmonella Typhimurium, in food products and consumables. As compared to conventional PCR tests that takes 9 days to give results, the Thermo Scientific SureTect PCR Assay test delivers result in just 24 hours, providing multiplex assay capability up to six STEC targets; hence it is advantageous for commercial testing.
