MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTICS MARKET: GROWTH AND TRENDS
Molecular diagnostic tests are advanced techniques and tools used to analyze biological markers in the genome and proteome. These diagnostic solutions are essential for detecting and monitoring diseases, identifying genetic abnormalities, and guiding personalized treatment plans. The primary technologies used in the molecular diagnostics domain include polymerase chain reaction, next-generation sequencing and microarrays. While PCR is a highly specific technique that enables the amplification and detection of trace amounts of DNA or RNA, NGS allows for high-throughput sequencing of entire genomes. Thus, molecular diagnostic solutions are pivotal across various medical fields, including oncological disorders, infectious diseases, genetic testing, and personalized medicine. These solutions enhance the accuracy of diagnosis, enable and support tailored treatment strategies aiming to ultimately improve diagnostic outcomes and advancing public health. In addition, it is worth mentioning that more than 70% of the healthcare decisions are made based on laboratory test results, which reflects the importance of such diagnostic tools in patient care.

Further, owing to the several benefits offered by these molecular diagnostic solutions, such as providing rapid testing, reducing turnaround times and enabling quicker decision-making, the market is expected to grow at a healthy compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) during the forecast period.
