At 3.3% CAGR, Middle East & Africa Microplate Reader Market is Projected to be Worth US$ 19.42 Million by 2031, says Business Market Insights
According to Business Market Insights’ research, the Middle East & Africa microplate reader market was valued at US$ 14.93 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 19.42 million by 2031, registering a CAGR of 3.3% from 2023 to 2031. Surging research and development investments in pharmaceutical industry and growing emphasis on point-of-care testing are among the critical factors attributed to drive the Middle East & Africa microplate reader market growth.
Pharmaceutical research and development are gaining attraction worldwide owing to the rising focus on drug discovery. The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) represents the leading biopharmaceutical research companies in the US. In 2023, its member companies' research and development (R&D) expenditures worldwide reached ~US$ 96 billion. Pharmaceutical companies are investing heavily in drug discovery, gene sequencing, and the development of targeted proteins to meet the growing demand of the healthcare sector.
The development of personalized medicine also leads to the increasing demand for genetic studies. Precision medicine utilizes an individual's genomic information to offer targeted treatment for a particular indication. The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases has increased the demand for biologics, drugs for orphan diseases, and personalized medicines. In February 2020, the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) announced the establishment of a new precision medicine and genomics program. This program will focus on the innovation of genomics and informatics tools to diagnose and treat diseases better. Advances in genomics and proteomics are key trends driving the growth of the microplate reader market. Therefore, increased funding for drug discovery and development activities in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors is driving demand for microplate readers. Companies such as Pfizer and Novartis are investing heavily in research and development activities for new drugs. These companies rely on the high-throughput screening capabilities provided by modern microplate readers to accelerate their research processes.
On the contrary, the high cost of advanced microplate readers hampers the growth of Middle East & Africa microplate reader market.
