Droplet Digital PCR held the largest share in the Digital PCR Market in 2020 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.7% during the forecast period 2021-2026. This is attributed to the technological advances along with various new product launches. Droplet digital PCR is based on water oil emulsion droplet technology and for the amplification of the template molecules in each individual droplet. It also uses workflows and reagents for most standard probe based assays. Droplet digital PCR also measure the copy number variation by partitioning a PCR reaction into nanoliter droplets. The cross-contamination drawback of droplet digital PCR is increasing the demand of chip based digital PCR. Droplet digital PCR are estimated to register the highest CAGR over the period 2021-2026.

Infectious disease held the largest share in the Digital PCR Market in 2020 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR 8.6% during the forecast period 2021-2026. This is attributed to the advantages of the droplet digital PCR of infectious diseases such as bacterial, viral, and parasitic indications.  Digital PCR provides more accurate, sensitive, and reproductive detection of pathogens according to the National Center for Biotechnology and it is better than real time polymerase chain reaction that are used for clinical diagnostics. The demand of oncology is increasing owing to the growing prevalence of the condition and introduction of new product launches. Oncology are estimated to register the highest CAGR over the period 2021-2026.

North America dominated the Digital PCR Market with a major share of 37.6% in 2020. This is attributed to the high prevalence & diagnosis rates for infectious disease and high awareness among patient population towards new diagnostic options. Availability of digital PCR devices, rising incidences of various types of cancer and metabolic diseases requiring advanced diagnosis and therapeutics is also increasing the growth of the market in this region.

However, Asia Pacific is estimated to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period 2021-2026 owing to the growing patient awareness regarding advanced digital polymerase chain reaction devices. Developing Healthcare infrastructure is also increasing the growth of the market in this region.

Technological advancements in digital PCR is increasing the growth of the Digital PCR Market. This is attributed to the growing demand for innovative devices and increasing research & development activities. Digital PCR is used to quantify and amplify nuclei acid. The introduction of various technologically advanced devices such as droplet digital PCR, chip based, and beam digital PCR is offering great benefits to the market. Thus, increasing the growth of the Digital PCR Market during the forecast period 2021-2026.

Growing adoption of digital PCR over Realtime PCR is increasing the growth of the Digital PCR Market. This is attributed to the fact that digital PCR helps to deliver a compete measure to target nucleic acid molecules that is achieved from real time PCR. DNA quantification allows for reproducibility, precision, and sensitive that enables the researches to quantify smaller differences and measure minor variants very precisely. Thus, increasing the growth of the Digital PCR Market during the forecast period 2021-2026.

Some of the factors that are set to impede the growth of the Digital PCR Market are high cost of digital PCR devices and reimbursement issues along with the technical limitations of PCR. The adoption of digital polymerase chain reaction techniques is limited owing to the lack of awareness about the digital PCR and the use of its advanced types.

Product launches, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and R&D activities are key strategies adopted by players in the Digital PCR Market. In 2020, the Digital PCR Market share is consolidated by the top ten players present in the market. Digital PCR Market, top 10 companies are Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., BioMerieux SA, Stilla Technologies, Merck KgaA, Combinati Inc., and Bio-Rad Laboratories among others.

• In 2020, BioMerieux SA received approval for Sars COV-2 gene tests that includes saliva specimens.
