Molecular Methods Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Products (Instruments, Reagents & Consumables, Services), By Methods (Polymerase Chain Reaction, Immunoassays, Biosensors, Microarrays, Others), By End-Users (Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology Industries, Diagnostic Centers, Academic And Research Institutes, Others) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Molecular methods are the standard laboratory techniques used in molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, and biophysics which usually include handling and analysis of DNA, RNA, and proteins. Molecular methods comprise of a variety of techniques and instruments like PCR, ELISA, immunoassays, blotting, etc. Increasing incidences of infectious diseases, increasing research activities are the major factors driving the growth of the market. Moreover, these methods are employed in the production of vaccines, biologics and biosimilar further boosting the demand for the market.

Factors such as escalation in incidence and prevalence of cancer and infectious diseases have increased the focus towards biosimilar, biologics as well as the recombinants. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer 2018, cancer burden raised to 18.1 million new cases and 9.6 million cancer deaths in 2018. According to the World Health Organization 2018, infectious diseases account for approximately 17 million deaths worldwide rising as a global crisis. Apart from this, the growing use of molecular methods in clinical diagnostics techniques such as ELISA, western blotting, and immunoassays is also likely to propel the market growth.  The overall molecular method market is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period due to factors such as increased R&D investments, rise in the prevalence of cancer patients, rising incidences of infectious diseases and zoonotic diseases.

However, the molecular methods demand technical expertise and instruments, which may put high cost and technical barriers in due course that may obstruct the market.
