Molecular Diagnostics Devices and Equipment Market Report 2025

The molecular diagnostics devices and equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $17.58 billion in 2024 to $19.01 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rise in funding, increase in healthcare expenditure, economic growth in emerging markets, rapid technological advances, emergence of novel pathogenic infestations, and rapid growth in geriatric population.

The molecular diagnostics devices and equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $24.77 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rapid rise in various bacterial and viral epidemics, aging population, increase in healthcare access, rising prevalence of chronic diseases and increasing demand for molecular diagnostic devices and equipment due to COVID-19. Major trends in the forecast period include automation in the field of molecular diagnostics, use of artificial intelligence, increased demand for molecular diagnostic devices in studying rare diseases, growing adoption of big data, next generation sequencing for newborn screening, and point-of-care molecular diagnostics (POC mdx).

The increasing incidence of infectious diseases is expected to drive the growth of the molecular diagnostic devices and equipment market in the future. Infectious diseases are illnesses caused by pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, which can be transmitted between individuals or from animals to humans. Factors contributing to the rise in infectious diseases include antimicrobial resistance, globalization and travel, urbanization, socioeconomic disparities, and an aging population. Molecular diagnostic devices and equipment are critical tools for the detection and management of these diseases. For example, in March 2023, the Office for National Statistics, a UK government department, reported that during the week ending March 17, 2023, the UK recorded 619 deaths related to COVID-19, an increase from 605 the previous week. During that week, COVID-19 deaths accounted for 4.5% of all deaths in the UK, a slight decrease from 4.6% the week before. Thus, the rising incidence of infectious diseases is propelling the growth of the molecular diagnostic devices and equipment market.

The increasing incidence of chronic diseases is anticipated to drive the future growth of the molecular diagnostics devices and equipment market. Chronic diseases, or non-communicable diseases (NCDs), are persistent health conditions that progress slowly and endure for an extended period. Molecular diagnostics devices and equipment play a crucial role in the diagnosis, monitoring, and management of chronic diseases by enabling healthcare professionals to analyze genetic, molecular, and biochemical markers associated with these conditions. For instance, in March 2022, The National Center for Biotechnology Information reported that 21% of the elderly population in India has at least one chronic disease, with hypertension and diabetes accounting for about 68% of all chronic diseases. This highlights the significant role of molecular diagnostics in managing chronic conditions.

Key players in the molecular diagnostic industry are focusing on developing automated solutions for devices and equipment used in molecular diagnostic processes. Automation enhances productivity and consistency in the diagnostic process, providing reliable and efficient test results compared to manual testing. Nanotechnology-based solutions, such as the Oral Fluid Nano Sensor Test (OFNASET) for detecting oral cancer biomarkers in saliva, are being utilized. To align with the trend of automation and accuracy, Roche introduced cobas connection modules (CCM) to improve scalability and sample-flow efficiency by enabling the automatic movement of samples between different systems and instruments, creating a fully automated workflow.

Major companies in the molecular diagnostics devices and equipment market are innovating by developing products such as high-throughput sample-to-result instruments for molecular diagnostics. ELITechGroup, for instance, launched a high-throughput sample-to-result instrument in April 2023, based on its proven extraction and assay technology. The instrument allows continuous loading of samples and reagents with real random-access capability, providing users with the flexibility to run different PCR reagents, protocols, and sample matrices in parallel.

In February 2022, Tulip Diagnostics, an India-based manufacturing company, acquired Biosense Technologies for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, Tulip Diagnostics aims to improve its point-of-care testing capabilities and expand its product portfolio. Biosense Technologies, also based in India, specializes in developing innovative molecular diagnostic devices that enhance disease detection and offer personalized healthcare solutions.
