Gel Documentation Systems Market is Anticipated to Witness a Successive CAGR of 3.6% During Forecast 2017-2023

Market Overview:

The global gel documentation systems market was valued at USD 245 Mn and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 3.6% over the forecast period of 2017-2023, asserts Market Research Future (MRFR) in a detailed study.

Gel documentation systems provide flexibility and ease of use in imaging nucleic acid and protein gels due to which they are gaining traction among research studies. The rise in a number of research laboratories, diagnostic centers, clinical and medical institutions have contributed positively to the growth of the global gel documentation systems market.

On the flip side, high costs associated with gel documentation systems is likely to restrain the growth of the global Gel Documentation Systems Market Size Most commercial gel documentation systems available in the market are not affordable in developing countries where the growth of the market is imopeded due to price sensitivity.

Gel documentation systems are used in molecular biology to measure nucleic acids and proteins in media such as cellulose, agarose, and acrylamide. Medical processes making use of gel documentation systems include protein quantification, gel and blot imaging, antibody binding affinities for both monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies, 2D electrophoresis, immunoassay, and nucleic acid quantification. The growing demand for advanced proteomics and genomics research is likely to be a major driver for the global gel documentation systems market over the forecast period, as genomics research has led to solutions for several persistent concerns in the healthcare sector over the last few years and is likely to remain a key tool in the bag for advancing the field of medical research and treatment.

The increasing prevalence of genetic disorders is likely to be a major driver for the global gel documentation systems market over the forecast period. The increasing awareness about genetic disorders around the world has led to growth in the funding for research efforts aimed at discovering effective cures for genetic disorders. This is likely to remain a major driver for the global gel documentation systems market over the forecast period, as gel documentation systems play a crucial role in the research processes for formulating cures for genetic diseases.
