[125 Pages Report] The market for molecular quality controls is expected to grow from USD 132 million in 2018 to USD 237 million by 2024, at a CAGR of 10.2% during the forecast period. The growth of this market is primarily driven by factors such as the growing adoption of third-party quality controls, increasing number of accredited clinical laboratories, and the rising demand for external quality assessment support.
On the basis of analyte type, the molecular controls market is segmented into single-analyte controls and multi-analyte controls. The multi-analyte controls segment is projected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. Growth in this market can be attributed to factors such as the increasing preference for multi-analyte controls for clinical as well as research applications due to the advantages associated with its use, such as cost-effectiveness, time savings, and the availability of a wide range of formats that enhance flexibility for users.
Based on application, the molecular quality controls industry is divided into four major segments—infectious diseases, oncology, genetic tests, and other applications. The research oncology segment is projected to grow at the highest rate in the market, by application. Factors such as technological advancements, the rising prevalence of cancer, increasing research on cancer biomarkers, and growing focus on personalized medicine are contributing to the growth of this market segment.
In 2018, North America accounted for the largest share of this market, followed by Europe. The large share of this regional segment is mainly due to the developed healthcare system in the US and Canada, the presence of a large number of leading molecular quality control product manufacturers, and easy accessibility to technologically advanced products in North America.
Major molecular quality controls vendors include SeraCare Life Sciences Inc. (US), ZeptoMetrix Corporation (US), Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc. (US), Microbiologics Inc. (US), and Thermo Fisher Scientific (US), Maine Molecular Quality Controls Inc. (US), Abbott Laboratories (US), Roche Diagnostics (Switzerland), Quidel Corporation (US), and Qnostics Ltd. (UK).
Seracare is one of the major players operating in the market. The company has a wide range of product offerings. To maintain its market position, the company mainly focuses on organic and inorganic growth strategies such as product launches, agreements, partnerships, collaborations, and acquisitions. For instance, in the past three years, the company launched 19 molecular quality control materials such as Seraseq NTRK FFPE RNA reference material, Seraseq ctDNA Complete, and Seraseq ctDNA Panels. Similarly, SeraCare collaborated with the United Kingdom National External Quality Assessment Service (UK NEQAS) to provide Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) reference materials for global NIPT external quality assessment (EQA) schemes in 2016. These strategies have enabled the company to expand its quality control and reference material offerings in the market.
