The molecular diagnostics market is valued at an estimated USD 19.48 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 30.74 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 9.6% during the forecast period. Molecular diagnostics plays a vital role in modern healthcare by enabling disease detection at the molecular and genetic level. These technologies offer high sensitivity and specificity, allowing for the early identification of pathogens and genetic abnormalities. Continuous technological advancements, such as faster processing times, automated platforms, and improved assay designs, have significantly enhanced the reliability and accessibility of molecular tests. These innovations are significant in supporting large-scale testing efforts across diverse healthcare settings. Moreover, in countries like India, government and private sector initiatives contribute to increased public awareness and greater access to diagnostic and treatment services. Such efforts are expected to accelerate the adoption of molecular diagnostics in the coming years.

“By sample type, the blood, serum, and plasma segment dominated the molecular diagnostics market in 2024.”

By sample type, the molecular diagnostics market is segmented into blood, serum & plasma; urine; and other sample types. The blood, serum, and plasma segment accounted for the largest share of the market in 2024. This is attributed to the high sensitivity and specificity these sample types offer in detecting a wide range of diseases, including viral infections and oncological conditions. Their stability during transportation and storage makes them ideal for centralized laboratories and point-of-care settings. Additionally, the growing adoption of personalized medicine and increased use of biomarkers in clinical decision-making fuel the demand for blood-based molecular testing. These advantages collectively position the segment for continued strong growth.

“By technology, the DNA sequencing & next-generation sequencing (NGS) segment is projected to achieve the highest growth during the forecast period.”

By technology, the molecular diagnostics market is bifurcated into polymerase chain reaction (PCR), isothermal nucleic acid amplification technology, in situ hybridization, DNA sequencing & next-generation sequencing (NGS), DNA microarrays, and other technologies. The DNA sequencing & next-generation sequencing (NGS) segment is projected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period. This surge is driven by their expanding use in detecting genetic mutations, identifying infectious agents, and guiding personalized treatment plans. The increasing turnaround time and data accuracy improvements have also broadened their adoption in research and clinical settings. Moreover, NGS is gaining traction due to its high-throughput capabilities and utility in comprehensive genomic profiling. As precision medicine continues to advance, the demand for sequencing-based diagnostics is set to rise significantly.
