The DNA markers sizes included in the report are below 50 base pair (bp), 50 bp to 100 bp, 100 bp to 1 kilo base pair (kb), 1 kb to 5 kb, and above 5 kb.

On the basis of end user, the global molecular weight marker market report is segmented into biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, academic research institutes, and contract research organizations. The staining segment is further subsegmented into unstained, prestained, and specialty markers.

In terms of geography, North America dominates the global molecular weight marker market. This is due to increased awareness about therapeutic applications of molecular biomarkers in disease management in the region. In addition, improved life science infrastructure has also propelled the growth of the molecular weight marker market in the region. The U.S. represents the largest market for molecular weight markers in North America, followed by Canada. In Europe, Germany, France, and the U.K. hold major shares of the molecular weight marker market. The molecular weight marker market in Asia too, is expected to show high growth rates in the next five years. This is due to the proliferation of biotechnology companies setting up manufacturing facilities in the region. Moreover, the growing life science infrastructure is also driving the growth of the market in the region. India, China, and Japan are expected to be the fastest-growing markets for molecular weight markers in Asia.

The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases that require molecular biomarkers for their treatment is a key driver of the global molecular weight marker market. In addition, increasing government supports in the form of funding in the life science arena is also supporting the growth of the global molecular weight marker market. Increasing investment in R&D in biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors and innovative applications of molecular weight markers have fueled the growth of this market. However, lack of skilled healthcare professionals obstructs the growth of the global molecular weight marker market.
