In-vitro diagnostic enzymes market was worth USD 706.97 millions in 2019. It is projected to grow at an 8.97% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), between 2020 and 2027. Enzymes are used in diagnosing various metabolic disorders due to their extraordinary catalytic capabilities. Numerous research studies have shown the clinical use of enzymes such as acid phosphatase and creatine kinase as well as acid phosphatase and aspartate transaminase. These enzymes are the preferred biomarkers for many diseases, such as myocardial injury, liver disease and schizophrenia, rheumatoidarthritis, and cancer.
Many molecular biology techniques have been gaining popularity, including IVM (IVD), which can be used to detect and prevent many diseases. The PCR (polymerase chain reaction) has had the greatest impact on molecular biology practices. PCR uses a thermostable polymerase that produces multiple copies of a particular nucleic acid region quickly and exponentially. PCR amplification cycles are dominated by the use of three enzymes: Taq polymerase (reverse transcriptase enzyme) and thermostable DNA Polymerase (thermostable DNA polymerase).
Market growth has been fueled by the utility of enzymes in the diagnosis of COVID-19. There are many commercial COVID-19 test options available. Some of the tests either detect the SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA using the nucleic acid hybridization-related strategies or PCR technique while others are serological and immunological assays that detect the antibodies produced in response to the virus.
For testing the presence of SARS-CoV-2 viruses, the PCR method is widely accepted. This method employs a DNA-copying enzyme called Taq DNA polymerase that remains active at high temperatures. Reverse transcriptase can also be used to copy the virus' RNA in the DNA. This allows for further amplifications. BioVendor and Creative Enzymes are two key companies that provide enzymes to diagnose COVID-19.
In 2019, polymerase and transcriptase represented 29.5% of the total revenue and will see the most growth in the forecast period. Their wide use in molecular diagnostic tests is why this is so. Segment growth will be aided by the large number of enzyme-providers.
Over the forecast period, significant growth is expected in the proteases segment. Common molecular biology procedures will see the use of proteases. To digest heat-stable molecular biology enzymes such as PvuII or Taq Polymerase using heat-labile protease, the enzymes are further activated by mild heat treatment.
This is a major advantage of protease when further chemical reactions can take place without the need for an intermediate purification step. It also reduces product loss and saves you time. This makes protease an important enzyme for IVD procedures.
Proteases in oncology will see significant growth due to rising cancer cases worldwide and the expansion IVD techniques such as Next-Generation Sequencing and In Situ Hybridization (ISH).
The largest revenue share, 27.3%, was attributed to infectious disease in 2019. Because PCR technology is widely applicable in infectious disease diagnosis, it has allowed for early diagnosis and treatment. The ability to identify complex organisms with greater precision and sensitivity has allowed them to be diagnosed earlier. PCR is used to diagnose infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and streptococcal pharyngitis.
The Thermus thermophilus DNA polymerase gene is expressed in Escherichiacoli and allows for an efficient reverse transcriptase activity to detect cellular mRNA expression within a single step. An IgM antibody capture ELISA is (MAC-ELISA), a well-proven technology that can diagnose dengue during the late acute or early convalescent phase. Among the enzyme-based diagnostic kits for infectious diseases are Panbio Dengue Duo IgG, Panbio Dengue Duo Rapid Cassette and Platelia Dengue NS1 ELISA kits.
The fastest growing segment in oncology is expected to grow during the forecast period. The oncology segment is driven by large-scale adoptions of ISH methods and the development of high throughput technologies such as comparative genomic hybridization and next-generation DNA sequence for diagnosis of human tumours.
The market leader in IVD enzymes in 2019 was histology assays with a 44.9% revenue share. This is due to the benefits of the technique for the analysis of tissues for diagnostic purposes. Histopathology is fast and safe for patients and clinicians. It also helps them understand the internal structure of cells and tissues.
For the diagnosis of infectious diseases, molecular diagnostics is preferable to serology. This technique is extremely sensitive and can detect disease-causing agents early. Over the forecast period, molecular diagnostics will experience the most rapid growth. Enzymes are essential for multiple steps in molecular diagnostics assays such as sample preparation and NGS library. They can be used to speed up difficult or slow reactions, as well as for repair, modification and amplification nucleic acid for many applications.
Because of their specificity and speed, enzymes are an integral part of clinical chemistry diagnostic assays. The enzyme specificity can be used to measure a substrate or remove interferents from another reaction. It is also possible to measure cofactors, activators, and inhibitors using enzymes. Enzymes are also ideal for labeling immunoassay methods because of their catalytic activity. BBI Solutions is a key player that offers a broad range of enzymes to clinical chemistry.
With a market share of 39.8%, hospitals and diagnostic labs dominated the market in 2019. In hospitals, IVD has been used more frequently in recent years. Many doctors are now switching from traditional testing methods to molecular and histopathology in hospitals and clinics. Histopathology-based tests are more popular than conventional methods due to their long turnaround time. They also help reduce the timelines.
From 2020 to 2027, the academic labs sector is expected to grow at the fastest rate of CAGR. The adoption of diagnostic enzymes during IVD procedures in these settings is driven by an increase in NGS andPCR technology use in academic and institutional projects.
Researchers at the UNC Medical Center Microbiology and Molecular Microbiology Laboratories explored NGS technology to accurately diagnose COVID-19 in March 2020. This technology allowed scientists to identify the mutations and gain insight into the genetic code of COVID-19, the virus that causes it. NGS allows for the use of enzymes that are used in library preparation such as DNA polymerase and reverse transcriptase.
North America held the largest share at 41.76% in 2019, due to its high demand for IVD enzymes, and increasing number of infectious diseases in the region. The FDA issued emergency authorizations for COVID-19 laboratory-developed tests to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
These emergency use authorizations include Enzyme-Linked immunosorbent Assays (ELISA) as well as Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reactions (RT-PCR), which are tests that detect SARS-CoV-2. Due to the high useability of enzymes during RTPCR, such tests are expected to generate revenue for the North American market.
Asia Pacific will be the fastest growing region market during the forecast period. This is due to improvements in healthcare infrastructure and the introduction of insurance policies that allow for favorable reimbursements. Also, there has been an increase in the prevalence of HIV/AIDS and cancer, which has led to an increased demand for diagnostic testing. China is the dominant market in Asia Pacific due to its many suppliers of enzymes.
Companies are continuously working to meet the growing demand for enzymes used in diagnostic procedures for clinical disorders, particularly COVID-19. Richcore Lifesciences, an Indian firm, produced and optimized Reverse Transcriptase and Taq Polymerase in May 2020. These are two essential enzymes for RT-PCR diagnostics.
These enzyme samples are currently being offered by the company to test kit manufacturers in order to verify their stability and consistency. The company will be able mass-produce these enzymes to meet the needs of millions of Indian certified testing kits. These companies take such initiatives to produce large quantities of enzymes in order to meet the urgent demand for COVID-19 testing kits.
