Electrophoresis is an electro kinetic process which separates charged particles in a fluid using a field of electrical charge. It is majorly used in life sciences to separate protein molecules or DNA and can be achieved through several different procedures depending on the type and size of the molecules. The procedures differ in some ways but all need a source for the electrical charge, a support medium and a buffer solution.
Electrophoresis is used in laboratories for the separation of molecules based on size, density and purity. An electric field is applied to molecules and as they are electrically charged themselves it results in a force acting upon them. The greater the charge of the molecule the greater the force applied by the electrical field and therefore through the support medium the molecule moves relative to its mass.
Electrophoresis market is expected to experience significant market growth during the forecast period as there has been a rise in the incidence of cancer, infectious diseases, and genetic disorders; growth in funding for research on genomic, proteomic, and electrophoresis techniques. Moreover, surge in number of industry-academia research collaborations, rise in use of capillary electrophoresis with mass spectroscopy, increase in use of next-generation sequencing, and rise in number of clinical, forensic, and research laboratories propel the growth of the market. However, increase in use of diagnostic devices by using various components for procedure which can show side effects and errors in sample handling are expected to impede the market growth. In contrast, expanding applications of genomics research and testing supported by the decline in cost of instruments and consumables are anticipated to provide significant growth opportunities for the electrophoresis market.

Executive Summary
According to the report, titled, “Electrophoresis Market," the electrophoresis market size was $2.3 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $4 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2022 to 2031.Electrophoresis is a laboratory technique used to separate DNA, RNA or protein molecules based on their size and electrical charge. An electric current is used to move the molecules through a gel or other matrix. Pores in the gel or matrix work like a sieve, allowing smaller molecules to move faster than larger molecules. To determine the size of the molecules in a sample, standards of known sizes are separated on the same gel and then compared to the sample.
Different types of gels are usually used as the support medium for electrophoresis and this may be in slab or tube form depending on which is more beneficial. Gel slabs enable many samples to run simultaneously and so are frequently used in laboratories. However, tube gels give a better resolution of the results and thus are often chosen for protein electrophoresis. Agarose gel is commonly used for electrophoresis of DNA. It has a large pore structure allowing larger molecules to move easily but it is not suitable for sequencing smaller molecules.
Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) has a clearer resolution than agarose gel making it more suitable for quantitative analysis. This makes it possible to identify how proteins bind to DNA. It can also be used to develop the understanding of how bacteria is becoming resistant to antibiotics through plasmid analysis. 2D Electrophoresis separates molecules along an x-axis and a y-axis - one separating them by charge and the other by size.
Developing markets with improving healthcare infrastructure and high disposable income are expected to fuel the electrophoresis market growth throughout the forecast period. Electrophoresis market benefits improvements in speed, precision, and sensitivity, which is projected to boost the market growth. In addition, the rise in interest in and demand for gene and DNA research is anticipated to significantly boost the electrophoresis market share. In addition, the rise in demand for novel drugs and solutions is expected to boost the growth of the growth.
Moreover, surge in burden of cancer, bacterial infections, and genetic diseases, along with rise in investments for electrophoresis research, increasing industry-academic collaborations, growing use of capillary electrophoresis with mass spectroscopy are key electrophoresis market trends.
In contrast, because electrophoresis takes a long time to complete, it may act as a key restraint for the market because it only allows for restricted sample analysis.
