Transfer Membrane Market, By Type (Nitrocellulose Transfer Membranes, PVDF Transfer Membranes, and Nylon Transfer Membranes), By Transfer Method (Semi-Dry Electrotransfer, Dry Electrotransfer, Tank Electrotransfer, and Others), By Application (Western Blotting, Southern Blotting, Northern Blotting, Protein Sequencing & Amino Acid Analysis, and Others), By End-user (Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology Companies, Diagnostic Laboratories, Academic & Research Institutes, and Others) - Trends, Analysis, and Forecast till 2029

Transfer membrane market accounted for USD 174.5 Million in 2019 and is estimated to be USD 229.1 Million by 2029 and is anticipated to register a CAGR of 2.8%.

The transfer membrane is a micro porous membrane that has a binding capacity for biomolecules which helps in protein transfer. Transfer membrane transfer proteins from gel matrices. This transfer is performed by passing a current across the gel to the transfer membrane. Such membranes are useful for several techniques such as western blotting, Southern blotting, Northern blotting, and protein sequencing. These transfer membranes act as a suitable base for antibody staining and detection of biomolecules on them.

COVID-19 Impact on the Market:

With the outbreak of the COVID-19, various businesses are at the forefront to combat this pandemic. The pandemic has hindered the industrial supply chain and also disrupted the production segment. Government across the countries has imposed strict lockdown to limit the spread of disease. However, increasing investments by prominent players and other industries has created growth opportunities, during this chaotic situation, to fulfill the demand of suppliers. This report will quantify the impact of this pandemic on the transfer membrane market.

Increasing funding to support clinical researches

Government funding agencies and pharmaceutical companies are increasingly funding various clinical trials. As per the data published in the Journal of the American Medical Association 2015, the number of clinical trials sponsored by NIH was 1,048 and 6,550 by pharma companies. In the U.K., the government funds health-related research through organizations such as the Medical Research Council (MRC) and the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). These organizations also help to fund cancer research nationally through the National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI). In the U.S, NCI funds around half of all cancer trials. According to American Research, investment in health and medical R&D grew by 13.3% from 2013 to 2015 in the U.S.

Conversely, the availability of the alternative technologies for the protein transfer associated with high efficiency and automation are expected to restrain the target market growth over the forecast period. In addition, the high cost of software implementation, data privacy issues, lack of skilled professionals, and low awareness about the software are key factors hampering the growth of the market.

Nevertheless, the advancements in membrane transfer methods such as higher compatibility of a variety of detection chemicals and greater straining capabilities are projected to boost the growth of the overall market.

Transfer membrane market is segmented based on the type, transfer method, application, end-user, and region.

Depending upon the type, the global business is categorized into nitrocellulose transfer membranes, PVDF transfer membranes, and nylon transfer membranes. In terms of transfer method, the worldwide industry is categorized into semi-dry electrotransfer, dry electrotransfer, tank electrotransfer, and others. Based on the application, the target market is segmented into western blotting, southern blotting, northern blotting, protein sequencing & amino acid analysis, and others. Based on the end-user, the target market is segmented into pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies, diagnostic laboratories, academic & research institutes, and others.

Regional Insights:

Regionally, the overall industry is divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America accounted for the major share in 2019, owing to the presence of prominent transfer member manufacturers in this region. The region is projected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period, owing to increased funding from both government and private vendors in order to support life science research in the region. In addition, the most important reason for driving the growth of the transfer membrane market is the rising prevalence of diseases in the region. Europe is anticipated to account for the second-largest position in the global transfer membrane market, due to the increased funding to support preclinical researches. On the flip side, Asia Pacific is also projected to register remarkable growth throughout the estimated period. This is attributed due to a large population base and a growing number of prevailing diseases, particularly in emerging economies of India, China, and Japan.
