MicroRNA (miRNAs) Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2021-2027)
Emphasis on Products (Instruments, Consumables), Services (Service Type, Specimen); Patient Type (Children, Adults); Applications (Cancer, Infectious Diseases, Immunological Disorders, Cardiovascular Disease, Neurological Disease, Others); End-User (Biotechnology & Pharmaceutical Companies, Academic & Government Research Institutes, Others); and Region & Country.
MicroRNA (miRNAs) Market was valued at ~US$ 230 million in 2020 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of ~13% over the forecast period (2021-2027). At present, there are over 2000 MicroRNA (miRNAs) discovered in humans that helps in the regulation of gene expression. Most of the human disease occurs due to genetic changes, hence miRNA is considered to be an important part of clinical diagnostics and therapeutic agents. MicroRNA (miRNA)-based therapeutics can be divided into miRNA mimics and inhibitors of miRNAs (antimiRs). For instance, miR-34a is a miRNA mimic that targets the BCL2, MET, MYC, CDK6, and other genes for the treatment of solid tumors (e.g., lung, liver, colon, brain, prostate, pancreatic, bladder, and cervical), Myeloma, and B cell lymphoma.
The demand for miRNA is mainly increasing on account of the emerging microRNA (miRNA) tools for disease-associated applications, the high role of miRNA in the target identification and prediction, and the high adoption of miRNA as a potential biomarker. Moreover, the role of miRNA in the diagnosis and treatment of various chronic diseases such as cancer, neurological disease, liver disease, metabolic diseases, and chronic heart diseases is also propelling the market growth. The overexpressed miRNA in certain diseases is known as oncogenes while the under-expressed miRNA in certain diseases is known as tumor suppressor miRNA. For instance, miRNA-212 functions as a tumor suppressor in colorectal carcinoma through targeting SOX4.

Insights Presented in the Report
“Amongst Products, Instruments segment holds the major share.”
Based on Products, the market is fragmented into Instruments and Consumables. The instruments segment holds the largest share in 2020 and is expected to register the highest CAGR in the upcoming period. In the recent few years, there is an increase in the number of miRNA-based clinical trials coupled with the rising incidents of chronic diseases. The various instruments are required in the completion of miRNA-based clinical trials such as TransmiR, DIANA-mirGen v.3 which is propelling the segment growth in the market.
“Amongst Services, Service Type segment is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR during the analyzed period.”
Based on Services, the market is fragmented into Service Type and Specimen. The Service Type segment holds the largest share in 2020 and is expected to register the highest CAGR in the upcoming period owing to the rising strategic collaboration between companies for providing microRNA profiling services. For instance, LC Sciences announced its strategic collaboration with DNAVision to increase accessibility to its custom microRNA profiling service and enhance both its customer and technical service to researchers in Europe.
“Amongst Applications, Cancer segment is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR during the analyzed period.”
Based on Applications, the market is fragmented into Cancer, Infectious Diseases, Immunological Disorders, Cardiovascular Disease, Neurological Disease, and Others. The Cancer segment holds the largest share in 2020 and is expected to register the highest CAGR in the upcoming period owing to the rising clinical trials of miRNA in the treatment of cancer coupled with the rising prevalence of cancer cases. As per the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) 1 in 5 people develop cancer during their lifetime globally and 1 in 8 men and 1 in 11 women die from cancer.
“Amongst End-user, Biotechnology & Pharmaceutical Companies segment is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR during the analyzed period.”
Based on End-user, the market is fragmented into Biotechnology & Pharmaceutical Companies, Academic & Government Research Institutes, and Other end-users. The Biotechnology & Pharmaceutical Companies segment holds the largest share in 2020 and is expected to register the highest CAGR in the upcoming period due to a rise in research funding for new startups. For instance, Twentyeight-Seven Therapeutics (28-7), a biotechnology company focused on modulating non-coding RNA (ncRNA) biology to develop treatments for cancer and other diseases, announced the successful completion of its $65 million Series A financing in 2018. The funding will be used to advance 28-7’s lead program, aimed at the discovery and development of small molecules that increase the levels of the tumor suppressor microRNA (miRNA), Let-7, into serious cancer indications.
“North America signifies one of the largest markets and Europe is expected to be the fastest-growing markets of MiRNA market.”
