The Molecular Diagnostics Market Will Register a CAGR of 5.6% during the Forecast Period to Reach $46.69 Billion by 2030. Molecular diagnostics is the process of accessing a person’s health at the molecular level by analyzing specific genetic sequences. Advancements in molecular diagnostics have led to personalized healthcare, precision medicine, and predictive healthcare. During the COVID-19 pandemic, molecular diagnostics played a major role in providing accurate and faster diagnostic results. Molecular diagnostics comprises advanced products and technologies used by skilled professionals to improve patient health. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and microarray technology offer high throughput and more accurate tests. More recently, sequencing is an alternative molecular diagnostic technology that will be used widely in the coming years.
The factors such as the rising global geriatric population, the increasing prevalence of communicable and non-communicable diseases, technological advancements in molecular diagnostics, and rising healthcare expenditures are driving the Molecular Diagnostics Market. Moreover, the growing scope in emerging countries, increasing focus on companion diagnostics and the rising popularity of direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing is expected to create growth opportunities for the Molecular Diagnostics Market.
