Dublin, April 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Molecular Diagnostics Market – Technologies, Products, Applications and End-Use Sectors” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The global Molecular Diagnostics market size is estimated at US$18 billion in 2024 and projected to post a CAGR of 10% between 2024 and 2030 to reach US$31.7 billion in 2030. The molecular diagnostics market is growing rapidly, driven by a growing need for faster and more accurate disease detection.
With the increasing number of infectious diseases like HIV, tuberculosis, and respiratory infections, healthcare providers rely on molecular tests to quickly identify pathogens and guide treatment. Cancer diagnostics is another major driver, as these tests help detect genetic mutations like BRCA1/2, EGFR, and KRAS, allowing doctors to create personalized treatment plans. Progress in PCR, Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), and DNA Microarrays made testing more accurate, inexpensive, and widely available.
Governments and private organizations invest considerably in genomic and precision medicine, further supporting innovations. There is also a growing shift toward at-home and point-of-care testing, which is more accessible diagnostics. In addition to infectious diseases and cancer, molecular diagnosis improves early detection of neurological disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and genetic conditions. As the global population rises, the demand for early and targeted treatment increases.
Also, new technologies such as AI-driven bioinformatics and portable diagnostic devices are making testing faster and more efficient. Due to its expansion role in drug development and personalized medicine, molecular diagnostics is set to a healthcare revolution and offers better and more adapted treatment for patients globally.

North America leads the global molecular diagnostics market with an estimated 39.2% market share in 2024, driven by technological advancements, robust healthcare infrastructure, and substantial healthcare expenditures. The United States dominates due to significant investments in research and development, supportive regulations, and a high prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular issues. Companies benefit from well-established distribution networks and advantageous reimbursement policies, facilitating the swift adoption of innovative diagnostic tools.
In contrast, the Asia Pacific region is projected to be the fastest-growing market, with a projected CAGR of 11.3% during the forecast period 2024-2030, driven by increased healthcare funding, population growth, and a rise in disease occurrences. Countries like China, India, and Japan are enhancing healthcare accessibility, while government programs and local manufacturing initiatives contribute to cost-effectiveness.
The rising demand for personalized medicine, Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), and diagnostics powered by AI is propelling the market’s growth. The region’s commitment to early disease detection and enhanced healthcare infrastructure positions it as a significant contributor to the global molecular diagnostics market.
Molecular Diagnostics Market Analysis by Product
The Reagents and Kits segment dominates the molecular diagnostics market, capturing an estimated 61.3% share in 2024, attributed to their extensive application in testing for infectious diseases, oncology, and genetic diagnostics. Their shorter replacement cycles, flexibility, and vital role in molecular testing ensure consistent demand. Innovations in assay development, increasing awareness for early disease detection, and increased healthcare integration further boost their adoption.
Conversely, the Instruments segment is anticipated to record the fastest CAGR of 11.7% from 2024 to 2030, driven by the increasing demand for advanced equipment like PCR machines, NGS systems, and mass spectrometers. The growing use of point-of-care testing, automation, and high-throughput technologies is broadening market prospects, especially in oncology, infectious diseases, and genetic diagnostics.
Molecular Diagnostics Market Analysis by Technology
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) segment is the largest technology market, with an estimated 45.2% share in 2024 due to its outstanding accuracy, sensitivity, and versatility in identifying and measuring nucleic acids. PCR continues to be considered the standard for detecting infectious diseases and conducting genetic tests, with innovations such as real-time PCR (qPCR) and digital PCR (dPCR) further improving its capabilities.
The increasing use of portable and automated PCR systems in point-of-care environments contributes to its growth. On the other hand, the DNA Sequencing & Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) segment is anticipated to experience the fastest growth rate with a CAGR of 12.8% during the analysis period 2024-2030, owing to its expanding significance in cancer diagnostics, personalized medicine, and genomics research. The rising need for molecular-targeted therapies and advanced sequencing technologies is driving the use of NGS in clinical and research settings.
Molecular Diagnostics Market Analysis by Application
The infectious disease diagnostics segment dominates the molecular diagnostics applications market with a 49.3% share in 2024, driven by the increasing incidence of infectious diseases such as respiratory infections, sexually transmitted diseases (STD), and emerging viral outbreaks like COVID-19. The need for quick and accurate diagnostic solutions has spurred the use of PCR and next-generation sequencing (NGS), facilitating precise pathogen identification and effective disease management.
Worldwide health initiatives and progress in multiplex PCR and sequencing technologies further bolster market growth. In contrast, the oncology segment is expected to register the fastest growth rate with a CAGR of 12.1%, driven by the rising demand for early cancer detection, personalized treatments, and therapies based on biomarkers, making it a significant contributor to future market growth.
