The Transfer membrane market was valued at USD 385 million in 2022 & is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5% from 2023-2030 The transfer membrane market refers to the global industry involved in the production, distribution, and sale of transfer membranes. Transfer membranes, also known as blotting membranes, are specialized porous materials used in various biological and analytical techniques, such as Western blotting, Southern blotting, and Northern blotting. Transfer membranes are designed to facilitate the transfer of biological molecules, such as proteins, DNA, and RNA, from a gel matrix onto a solid support, typically a membrane surface. They are commonly used in molecular biology research, biotechnology, and clinical diagnostics. The growing demand for transfer membranes can be attributed to the high prevalence of infectious and genetic diseases around the globe. For instance, according to HIV.gov, an estimated 1.5 million individuals worldwide acquired HIV infection in 2021, while around 38.4 million individuals were suffering from the disease in the same year. Owing to the glaring statistics growth of genetic disease across the globe would contribute to the growth of the market in the forthcoming period as well. Furthermore, the transfer membrane market is anticipated to grow on account of The increasing investment in research and development activities across academic institutions, research organizations, and industrial laboratories. Moreover, The increasing focus on understanding the structure and function of proteins and genes has led to a growing demand for transfer membranes in techniques such as western blotting, southern blotting, and northern blotting. However, some of the restraints in the market including the high cost of transfer membranes and membrane clogging and limited reusability are impeding the growth of this market all over the world.
Some of the major players operating in the market include Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.; Danaher; Bio-Rad Laboratories; Merck KGaA; PerkinElmer, Inc.; Abcam Plc.; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.; ATTO Corporation; Azure Bio systems Inc.; Advansta Inc. Several M&As along with partnerships have been undertaken by these players to facilitate customers with hi-tech and innovative products/technologies.
Insights Presented in the Report
“Amongst product, the PVDF segment held a significant share of the market in 2021.”
Based on product, the market is segmented into PVDF, nitrocellulose, and nylon. Among them, the PVDF segment captured a significant share of the market in 2021. PVDF transfer membranes make easier protein stripping and re-probing possible while providing an extremely durable and chemically inert alternative to other kinds of membranes. Because these membranes are hydrophobic, they can form strong contacts with proteins, allowing for better protein binding and efficient protein transport
“Amongst transfer, the dry electroblotting segment held the higher CAGR in the market in 2021.”
Based on the transfer, the market is bifurcated into wet or tank transfer, semi-dry electroblotting (semi-dry transfer), dry electroblotting (dry transfer), and others. Among them, the dry electroblotting segment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR in the market owing to the benefits, such as its user-friendly and convenient manner of operation as well as a speedy transfer speed. Furthermore, the approach eliminates the requirement to equilibrate gels in a buffer, lowering the time required to complete the transfer.
“North America dominated the Transfer membrane market in 2021.”
North America, particularly the United States, is a hub for biotechnology and pharmaceutical research. The region is witnessing significant advancements in areas such as proteomics, genomics, personalized medicine, and drug discovery. These advancements drive the demand for transfer membranes as essential tools in various research and diagnostic applications. Moreover, governments, private organizations, and academic institutions in North America allocate substantial funding for life sciences research. The availability of funding supports research projects that rely on transfer membranes for protein analysis, nucleic acid studies, and biomarker discovery. This financial support contributes to the growth of the transfer membrane market in the region. the presence of well-established research infrastructure and rising government investments in the life sciences domain drive the demand for transfer membranes in the North America region. For instance, in September 2022, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services declared an investment of above USD 40.0 million as a part of the National Biotechnology and Bio-manufacturing initiative for the expansion of biotechnology research and manufacturing in the country.
