RNA interference (RNAi) is a phenomenon that has rapidly evolved into a powerful technique to silence gene expression in eukaryotic cells. The diversity of its applications has quickly made it an indispensable tool for both academic and industrial scientists interested in gene function characterization, signaling pathway analysis and target validation. To ensure the continued adoption of RNAi approaches in the laboratory, The Market for RNA Interference Products: Challenges and Opportunities provides life science suppliers with insights into the types of products and services required to support this research. It provides an in-depth look at RNAi experimental design, including model systems, siRNA duplex design, transfection techniques as well as current and future levels of throughput. This report also closely examines pre-designed, validated and library siRNA duplexes, chemically synthesized custom siRNAs and transfection reagents from the customer’s perspective. It determines their level of satisfaction with various attributes for each type of product and the perceived value given the prices paid. By using this report to understand the preferences, needs and expectations of researchers, life science suppliers will be able to make refinements to existing tools as well as to design new tools that support this technology.
The major objectives of this report are as follows:
Examine the objectives of RNAi experiments
Assess the key elements of RNAi experimental design
Estimate growth in the number of experiments to be performed
Identify the methods by which siRNA molecules are obtained
Determine the methods by which siRNA molecules are delivered
Ascertain—from the user’s perspective—their level of satisfaction with key product attributes
Understand the relationship between product attributes, price and the perception of value
Identify the preferred suppliers of siRNA products
Determine which supplier attributes are of greatest importance
Identify areas where siRNA product suppliers (based on performance) fall above or below customer expectations for those supplier attributes deemed to be most important
Discover requirements to fuel market growth
