Market Definition
A molecular cytogenetic technique called Fluorescence in Situ Hybridization (FISH) enables the localization of a particular DNA sequence or an entire chromosome in a cell. It is used to diagnose genetic disorders, map genes, identify chromosomal anomalies, and may also be used to compare how the genes on different chromosomes in related species are organized. While performing FISH, the double helix structure is unwound and all probes connected to fluorescent molecules are bound to a particular sequence of sample DNA that can be seen under a fluorescence microscope.
FISH is frequently used for diagnostic purposes in oncology, preventative and reproductive health, and genomic and cell biology research. It is the industry-recognized method for finding infectious illnesses and chromosomal abnormalities. However, strict regulations and standards for the approval of FISH products and probes are expected to restrain the market growth.
Middle East and Africa Fluorescent in Situ Hybridization (FISH) Market Dynamics
This section deals with the understanding of market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail below:
Drivers
- Growing Burden of Genetic Disorders as Well as Cancer
Genetic abnormalities are uncommon as a whole but are very frequent as individual ailments. Gene changes are the cause of all cancer. Just 5% to 10% of cancers are genetically predisposed. Nevertheless, when the same cancer types run in families, heredity may occasionally seem to be the cause of cancer. Hematologic and solid cancers are both heterogeneous diseases with various genetic abnormalities. An increasing number of genomic abnormalities such as gain, loss, or rearrangement of chromosomal fragments and gene mutations, are driving factors in the pathogenesis of various malignancies as a result of the extensive investigations into the relationship between genomic instability and disease pathogenesis conducted over the last two decades. The clinical diagnosis of different chromosomal abnormalities, including deletions, duplications, and translocations, depends on FISH and other in situ hybridization techniques, which drives market growth.
- Innovation and Advancements in FISH Products
The most reliable method for finding specific DNA sequences, diagnosing genetic illnesses, mapping genes, and discovering new oncogenes or genetic abnormalities causing various cancers is FISH. Recent advancements in the technology have made it possible to screen the entire genome concurrently utilizing array-based methods such as comparative genomic hybridization or multiplex FISH with multicolor whole chromosome probes. In the fight against genetic diseases, FISH has fundamentally transformed the field of cytogenetics and is now acknowledged as a trustworthy diagnostic and research tool, which drives market growth.
Restraint
- High Cost of FISH Testing
The macromolecule recognition technique known as FISH relies on the complementary nature of DNA or DNA/RNA double strands. The FISH test "maps" the genetic material present in human cells, including particular genes or gene segments. A FISH test is helpful for diagnosing some types of cancer because it can find genetic abnormalities linked to the disease. Cost issues are of utmost relevance in the modern molecular diagnostic laboratory. In addition to enabling a laboratory to handle increased test volumes and throughput, automation of complicated molecular assays also significantly reduces the cost of testing from the standpoint of reagent expenses, which restrains market growth.
Opportunity
- Rising Public Awareness about the Early Detection of Genetic Abnormalities
Genetic testing aids patients in making important decisions in the prevention, treatment, or early detection of hereditary disorders. Low awareness of the importance of genetic testing contributes to the increase in the incidence of hereditary disorders.
A genetic disorder is a health condition that is inherited by a person, usually caused by mutations in the DNA or changes in the number or overall structure of chromosomes. Several types of commonly known diseases have been determined to be related to hereditary gene mutations.
Henceforth, the rising awareness about the early detection of genetic disorders using the FISH technique helps in the diagnosis of genetic diseases, gene mapping, and identification of novel oncogenes or genetic aberrations contributing to various types of cancers and genetic disorders, which provides the opportunity for market growth.
Challenge
- Stringent Government Regulations for the Approval of FISH Probes
The use of FISH techniques across the globe is rapidly increasing, with the growth of the aged population and several chronic diseases, which are preventable by early diagnosis and timely treatments. At the same time, the players of the FISH technology in the market have to follow certain regulations to get approval from the upper authorities for launching the product in a region. These stringent guidelines need to be followed, and this is one of the most difficult tasks of all the steps. The pre-market approval of various medical devices varies from one country to another.
Post-COVID-19 Impact on Middle East and Africa Fluorescent in Situ Hybridization (FISH) Market
The pandemic has had adverse impacts on the FISH manufacturers as well as users. The market has been significantly influenced by COVID-19, which has led to an increase in research studies utilizing FISH. One such study, published in November 2022 in the PLOS One Journal, employed a FISH-based method to detect SARS-CoV-2 in saliva. The method involved using a Cy3-labeled DNA probe specific to SARS-CoV-2, and the analysis was carried out manually using fluorescence microscopy as a proof-of-concept.
Manufacturers are making various strategic decisions to bounce back post-COVID-19. The players are conducting multiple R&D activities, product launches, and strategic partnerships to improve the technology and test results involved in the FISH market.
