Technology Segmentation Insights 

Sequencing-based methods, particularly laser capture microdissection (LCM), transcriptome in-vivo analysis (TIVA), in situ sequencing, and microtomy sequencing, dominated the market in 2023 with a 54.64% market share. This segment is poised for the fastest growth over the forecast period. These methods have revolutionized gene expression studies by enabling high-dimensional gene expression measurements at spatial resolution. They capture mRNA molecules at specific locations on tissue sections, tag them with unique spatial barcodes, and generate a readout through sequencing. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) can capture polyadenylated RNA transcripts, facilitating the discovery of novel differential genes and biological mechanisms. 

Moreover, microscopy-based RNA imaging techniques are anticipated to grow significantly over the forecast period. These techniques visualize and study RNA molecules within cells, allowing researchers to observe the spatial distribution, dynamics, and interactions of RNA molecules in real-time. This provides critical insights into gene expression regulation, RNA localization, and RNA-protein interactions.
