Molecular Diagnostics Market

Molecular Diagnostics Market Research, 2030

The Global Molecular Diagnostics Market size was valued at $9.2 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $23.9 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 9.86% from 2021 to 2030. Molecular diagnostics is referred to as the detection of genomic variants, aiming to facilitate detection, diagnosis, sub classification, prognosis, and monitoring response to therapy. It is a collection of techniques used to analyze biological markers in the genome and proteome, and how their cells express their genes as proteins, applying molecular biology to medical testing. Molecular diagnostics are widely applied, powerful, and sensitive techniques used to identify biologic markers in a genome and proteome by detecting bacterial genes (with PCR-based techniques) and measuring expressed bacterial infection–specific proteins (with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay [ELISA] and proteomics).

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted workflows in the healthcare sector globally. The COVID-19 outbreak is anticipated to have a positive impact on the growth of the global molecular diagnostics market. The COVID-19 pandemic has stressed the healthcare systems globally and increased the need for the development of diagnostic instruments & diagnostic service centers. Increase in number of COVID-19 cases surged the demand for real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test to detect COVID-19.

Increase in the prevalence of infectious diseases and various types of cancer drives the growth of the molecular diagnostics market. In addition, increase in awareness and acceptance of personalized medicines, and growth in the biomarker identification further fuel the growth of the market. However, stringent regulatory requirements for the approval of new molecular diagnostics techniques are expected to hinder growth of the market during the forecast period. On the other hand, increase in adoption of the molecular diagnostics in the emerging economies is expected to offer profitable opportunities for the growth of the market during the forecast period.

The COVID-19 outbreak is anticipated to have a positive impact on the growth of the global molecular diagnostics market. The COVID-19 pandemic has stressed the healthcare systems globally and increased the need for the development of diagnostic instruments & diagnostic service centers. Increase in number of COVID-19 cases surged the demand for real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test to detect COVID-19. For instance, in 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized an antigen test that is the first over-the-counter fully at-home diagnostic test used for detection of COVID-19. Moreover, in 2020, a total of 646 government laboratories and 247 private laboratories reported to Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) for COVID-19 testing. Furthermore, in 2020, the World Health Organization, the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the foundation for innovative new diagnostics, the global fund, and the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation announced partnership to provide 120 million affordable quality COVID-19 rapid tests for low and middle income countries. This has significantly contributed toward the growth of the global molecular diagnostics market. Furthermore, increase in adoption of immunoassays and molecular assays diagnostics tests for COVID-19 along with major market player ramping up their R&D activities to curb the COVID-19 pandemic are expected to positively impact the molecular diagnostics market growth.
