Executive Summary

microRNAs (miRNAs) are noncoding RNA that play pivotal role in gene silencing and posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression. Studies have shown that thousands of human protein-coding genes are regulated by miRNAs, indicating that miRNAs have regulatory roles in diverse cellular functions, such as apoptosis, proliferation and differentiation - all of which have shown to be contributing factor in diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular conditions. These features make it a potential diagnostic and therapeutic candidate. Currently, more than 2,500 mature microRNAs have been identified in the human genome. An important factor for success in miRNA research is access to high-performance tools and technologies.

Several tools and technologies are used in the miRNA research continuum, from isolation through discovery, profiling, quantitation, validation and functional analysis. Sensitive and advanced laboratory analysis methods [quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT- qPCR), next-generation sequencing (NGS), and microarray] and tools (probes, reagents, and kits) for miRNA isolation, discovery, profiling, quantitation, validation and functional analysis are being largely used globally.

Most known miRNAs have been identified by random cloning and sequencing. There is an estimated 0.01% chance of uncovering a unique miRNA using this method - thus making discovery efforts very time-consuming and laborious. Recent studies have focused on bioinformatics, where algorithms predict miRNAs based on the presence of hairpins and other structures associated with the presence of miRNAs.

The miRNA tools market has observed moderate growth recently and is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2023 to 2028. The need for new research tools is constant as users deepen scientific understanding and search for the next breakthrough. MiRNA profiling is quickly becoming a promising technique in many research fields, such as translational research. It can provide useful information on the role of miRNAs in the pathogenesis of human diseases such as cancers, metabolic diseases, neurological disorders and infectious diseases.

The miRNA tools market growth is attributed to increased research at the genetic level, increased use of miRNA for therapeutic and diagnostic research purposes, the rise in R&D funding, and increased demand for advanced analysis techniques and assay methods. Microarray technology and the advent of NGS in the early 2000s significantly broadened our understanding of miRNAs and introduced new opportunities for clinical applications.
