The global high-resolution melting analysis market size is expected to reach USD 416.82 million by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “High-Resolution Melting Analysis Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Product and Services (Instruments, Reagents & Consumables, and Software & Services), Application, End User, and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
High-resolution melting (HRM) analysis is a post-PCR technique used to detect genetic variations, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), mutations, and DNA methylation, by analyzing differences in DNA melting curves. The method is based on the gradual denaturation of double-stranded DNA in the presence of an intercalating dye, which fluoresces when bound to DNA and diminishes as the strands separate. HRM analysis is widely utilized in research and clinical diagnostics due to its high sensitivity, cost-effectiveness, and ability to provide accurate genotyping without the need for sequencing.
The high-resolution melting analysis market growth is attributed to increasing applications in genetic testing, personalized medicine, and molecular diagnostics. The rising prevalence of genetic disorders and infectious diseases, along with advancements in PCR technology, is driving market expansion. Growing research in oncology and epigenetics is also contributing to demand, as HRM is a valuable tool for detecting cancer-related mutations. Additionally, the market is benefiting from increased government funding for genomic research and the adoption of HRM in forensic and agricultural applications. Emerging high-resolution melting analysis market trends are automation in HRM workflows, integration with next-generation sequencing (NGS), and expanding applications in developing regions.
