Global Market Study on <strong>Western</strong> <strong>Blotting</strong>: Increasing Prevalence of HIV and Spontaneous<br />

Research in the Field of Proteomics Fuelling the Growth of <strong>Western</strong> <strong>Blotting</strong><br />

The growth of the western blotting market is mainly driven by rising incidence of HIV, increasing<br />

usage of western blotting in the field of proteomics, and rising demand for advancements and<br />

innovation in drug development. However, factors such as inadequate funding in developing<br />

countries, high pricing of products, and non-availability of devices in developing countries are<br />

expected to hamper overall market growth.<br />

<strong>Western</strong> blotting technique is considered the gold standard for the diagnosis of HIV. <strong>Western</strong><br />

blotting, due to its high specificity and reproducibility, is used as a confirmatory test for the<br />

diagnosis of HIV. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), it is estimated that in 2013,<br />

only 51% of the people with HIV knew about their syndrome status. A major reason for low<br />

diagnosis of HIV is the fear amongst the population of getting positively diagnosed with HIV and<br />

confidentiality issues related to testing results. As per the statistics released by the joint United<br />

Nations program on HIV/AIDS, in 2013, around 35.2 Mn HIV cases were recorded with two<br />

million new cases being detected in 2014, taking the combined total for both years to 37.2 Mn.<br />

Wide application of western blotting technique in various fields such as scientific research, medical<br />

diagnostics, food & beverages industry, agricultural, and other applications is fueling the growth of<br />

the western blotting market globally.<br />

According to the latest market report published by Persistence Market Research titled “Global<br />

Market Study on <strong>Western</strong> <strong>Blotting</strong>: Increasing Prevalence of HIV and Spontaneous Research in the<br />

Field of Proteomics Fuelling the Growth of <strong>Western</strong> <strong>Blotting</strong>”, the western blotting market is<br />

expected to be valued at US$ 529.1 Mn by the end of 2015. It is anticipated to expand at a CAGR<br />

of 5.4% during the forecast period (2015–2021) to account for US$ 725.0 Mn by 2021.<br />

The western blotting market is segmented on the basis of product, application, region, and end user.<br />

North America dominated the western blotting market with over 30% share and is expected to<br />

remain dominant throughout the forecast period. Revenue from western blotting markets in Asia<br />

and Latin America are expected to expand at CAGRs of 6.2% and 6.0% respectively during the<br />

forecast period.<br />

In terms of volume growth, reagent kits segment is expected to account for maximum share over the<br />

forecast period. Electrophoresis blotting systems segment is expected to register higher CAGR as<br />

compared to other segments in terms of volume.As western blotting is a time consuming and labor<br />

intensive process, end users are opting for automated blotting systems to address these issues.<br />

The manual technique demands continuous supervision, hence manpower is mandatory while<br />

performing this method to enhance reproducibility. Automated systems perform steps such as<br />

mixing of the solution, washing of gel, and hence reduces the time required for completion of the<br />

protocol. However, the debate regarding the trustworthiness of this technique continues across the<br />

healthcare sector, as the outcomes of tests vary according to the methodology adopted to complete<br />

the process. Selection of proper substrate and antibody is a must to achieve desired results due to<br />

the specificity of the test.
