Strand Displacement Amplification Market Trends

Growth Drivers

• Increasing Demand for Rapid and Reliable Diagnostics Tests – Strand displacement amplification is a fast and easy diagnostic technology that can detect minute range of DNA in a sample. Therefore, owing to this strand displacement amplification has become a popular choice for rapid testing of diseases such as tuberculosis, cancer, influenza, and others. According to research, from 2010 to 2020, 3.1 billion fast diagnostic test kits for malaria were sold worldwide, with sub-Saharan African nations accounting for about 81% of these sales.
• Increasing Awareness about the Benefits of SDA – Well there is quite an awareness about the benefits of strand displacement amplification among healthcare professionals and patients. However, the higher awareness about the benefits it offers such as high sensitivity, rapid results, and ease of use are factors driving the growth of this market.
• Increasing Use in New Applications – Food testing, environmental testing, forensics, and other testing are a few varied range of applications that demand strand displacement amplification. The rising use of strand displacement amplification in various applications drives the growth of the market in the forecast period.

Challenges

• Low Sensitivity – Strand displacement amplification is less sensitive than other amplification methods, such as polymerase chain reaction. This means that it may not be able to detect small amounts of DNA or RNA. This is expected to restrict the market expansion in the upcoming future times.
• Availability of Alternatives
• Disadvantages Associated with Strand Displacement Amplification
