Research and Markets: Global Electrophoresis Market Estimated to Reach $1,980.0 Million by 2020, Growing at a CAGR of 5.3% During the Forecast Period (2015 to 2020)

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/vgg389/electrophoresis) has announced the addition of the "Electrophoresis Market by Product, Application & End User - Global Forecast to 2020" report to their offering.

The global electrophoresis market is estimated to reach $1,980.0 Million by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period (2015 to 2020). This market is mainly driven by rising funding for research on electrophoresis techniques, growing number of research collaborations between market players and academic institutions, increasing use of capillary electrophoresis (CE) with mass spectroscopy (MS), and growing focus on next-generation sequencing research. However, alternatives to electrophoresis are available in the market which offer better efficiency and results. In addition, some electrophoresis techniques involve time-consuming operations and offer limited sample analysis, which is restraining the growth of this market to a certain extent during the forecast period.

In this report, the global electrophoresis market is segmented on the basis of products, applications, end users, and regions. The research report discusses the key market drivers, restraints, and opportunities in the global electrophoresis technologies market and its submarkets.

Based on products, the market is segmented into electrophoresis instrumentation, reagents, and informatics and imaging. In 2014, the electrophoresis reagents segment accounted for the largest share of the electrophoresis technologies market. This segment comprises of protein regents and nucleic acid reagents. Growth in this segment is primarily driven by the increasing innovations and developments in proteomics and genomic research, availability of funds from various organizations, and increasing R&D expenditure.

The electrophoresis instrumentation segment is further segmented into gel electrophoresis systems and capillary electrophoresis systems. The gel electrophoresis systems segment accounted for -60% of the electrophoresis instrumentation market and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period, while capillary electrophoresis systems segment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period.

On the basis of applications, the electrophoresis market is segmented into research applications, diagnostic applications, and quality control and process validation. In 2014, the research applications segment commanded the largest share of 75% of the electrophoresis market. However, the diagnostic applications segment is expected to register the fastest growth during the forecast period.

Academic institutions, hospitals and diagnostic centers, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and research organizations are some of the major end users of the electrophoresis technologies. In 2014, the academic institutions segment commanded the largest share around 50%-55% of the electrophoresis market by end user, while the hospitals and diagnostic centers segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR of 7%-8% during the forecast period.
