In Situ Hybridization Market by Offering (Consumables, Instruments, Software), Technology (FISH (DNA FISH, RNA, PNA), CISH), Application (Cancer Diagnostics, Research, Discovery), End User (Hospitals, Pharma & Biotech, Academia) - Global Forecast to 2030

The in situ hybridization market is expected to reach USD 2.35 billion in 2030 from USD 1.64 billion in 2025, at a CAGR of 7.4% during the forecast period. The expansion of the in situ hybridization (ISH) market is largely driven by continuous technological advancements within ISH platforms. Innovations such as enhanced probe designs, automation, and multiplexing capabilities have markedly improved assay sensitivity, specificity, and throughput. These enhancements align with the increasing need for precision medicine and the development of laboratory-developed tests (LDTs). Such advancements facilitate the identification of patient-specific genetic markers, solidifying ISH's role as a critical component in personalized treatment approaches. Furthermore, the emerging field of spatial transcriptomics within cancer and neuroscience research underscores the necessity for highly sensitive and multiplexed ISH technologies to analyze gene expression in its tissue context. This demand is propelling ongoing innovation in the ISH sector. Notably, ISH presents distinct advantages over immunohistochemistry (IHC), particularly with its ability to detect direct nucleic acid, which enhances diagnostic accuracy and disease characterization, further contributing to the market's growth.

“The fluorescent in situ hybridization technology segment accounted for the largest technology market share in 2024.”

The in situ hybridization market by technology is segmented into fluorescent in situ hybridization and chromogenic in situ hybridization. The fluorescent in situ hybridization technology is further segmented into DNA fluorescent in situ hybridization, RNA fluorescent in situ hybridization, and PNA fluorescent in situ hybridization. In 2024, the fluorescent in situ hybridization technology segment accounted for the largest market share, by technology. The dominant position of this technology segment is attributable to its exceptional sensitivity, specificity, and versatility in detecting genetic anomalies at both DNA and RNA levels. Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) provides high-resolution insights for identifying chromosomal rearrangements, gene amplifications, and deletions, making it indispensable in cancer diagnostics, the identification of genetic disorders, and prenatal screenings. FISH enables concurrent detection of multiple targets through the use of various fluorescent probes, catering to both clinical and research needs. Furthermore, the extensive incorporation of FISH in personalized medicine, particularly for HER2 and ALK assessments in oncology, has significantly bolstered its demand in recent years.

“Consumables segment is projected to register the highest CAGR in the global in situ hybridization market during the forecast period.”

By offering, the in situ hybridization market is segmented into consumables, instruments, services & software. The consumables segment is further sub-segmented into kits & reagents, probes & probe kits, and accessories & other consumables. The consumables segment is expected to register the highest growth rate during the forecast period. The expansion of the market for consumables in in situ hybridization (ISH) procedures is fundamentally linked to their increasing application in cancer diagnostics and various other disease areas. This uptick in utilization directly correlates with a heightened demand for essential consumables, including probes and probe kits, integral to every ISH assay. As testing volumes escalate in both clinical and research environments, the demand for these materials is poised for steady growth. Furthermore, the ongoing development and approval of advanced ISH-based diagnostic tests, such as Roche’s VENTANA Kappa and Lambda Dual ISH mRNA Probe Cocktail assay, are anticipated to further broaden the consumables market. Such innovations enhance the accuracy and specificity of diagnostics for conditions such as B-cell malignancies, thereby incentivizing laboratories and healthcare facilities to increasingly incorporate ISH methodologies into their testing repertoire. This upward trajectory in clinical uptake will consistently drive the demand for corresponding consumables, underpinning robust growth in this segment. Additionally, it presents significant opportunities for key industry players to fortify their market presence through innovative product development and strategic supply chain enhancements.

“The Asia Pacific region is growing at the highest CAGR in the in situ hybridization market during the study period.”
