Growth in this market is driven by increasing funding for cell-based research, the growing applications of gene expression, and a rising preference for cell-based assays. However, the high cost of cell biology research is expected to restrain the growth of this market to a certain extent during the forecast period.
Players in the global reporter gene assays market, such as Merck KGaA (Germany), Thermo Fisher Scientific (US), Promega Corporation (US), Abcam plc (UK), PerkinElmer (US), Danaher Corporation (US), Becton, Dickinson and Company (US), Bio-Rad Laboratories (US), Geno Technology (US), GeneCopoeia, Inc. (US), InvivoGen (France), PromoCell (Germany), and Biotium (US) are focusing on increasing their presence in the high-growth markets through both organic as well as inorganic growth strategies of product launches, expansions, agreements, collaborations, and acquisitions.
Merck is the leading player in the reporter gene assays market. With regard to providing innovative products, Merck invests a significant amount of its sales revenue in R&D. In 2017, it invested around 14% of its sales revenue in R&D activities. This allows the company to extend its technological capabilities and provide superior-quality products, thereby helping it to achieve long-term growth.
The company is also investing a large sum into its expansion projects to increase its production capacity and cater to a larger consumer base. In this regard, in 2018, the company invested USD 19 million in its new manufacturing and distribution center for the life science business in India. Similar investments have been made by the company in the last few years. The acquisition of Sigma-Aldrich significantly enhanced the company’s global presence and broadened its portfolio in the reporter gene assays market.
