Molecular diagnostics is referred to as the detection of genomic variants, aiming to facilitate detection, diagnosis, sub classification, prognosis, and monitoring response to therapy. It is a collection of techniques used to analyze biological markers in the genome and proteome, and how their cells express their genes as proteins, applying molecular biology to medical testing. Molecular diagnostics are widely applied, powerful, and sensitive techniques used to identify biologic markers in a genome and proteome by detecting bacterial genes (with PCR-based techniques) and measuring expressed bacterial infection–specific proteins (with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay [ELISA] and proteomics).
Stringent regulatory requirements for the approval of new molecular diagnostics techniques are expected to hinder growth of the market during the forecast period. On the other hand, increase in adoption of the molecular diagnostics in the emerging economies is expected to offer profitable opportunities for the growth of the market during the forecast period.
