Biochips Global Market Report 2025

Biochips are compact devices containing an assortment of biological substances such as DNA, proteins, or cells, affixed onto a solid surface. They merge biological components with electronic systems for studying and manipulating biological data, finding extensive use in medical diagnostics, genetic sequencing, and other biotechnological domains.

The primary types of biochips include DNA chips (or DNA microarrays), protein chips, lab-on-chip systems, tissue arrays, and cell arrays. DNA chips allow the simultaneous analysis of numerous genes' expressions, leveraging technologies such as microarrays and microfluidics. These biochips find applications in drug discovery, agriculture, genomics, disease diagnostics, proteomics, and are utilized by diverse end users such as biotech firms, pharmaceutical companies, academic institutions, hospitals, and diagnostic centers.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp increase in U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the medical equipment sector, especially for imported components used in imaging machines, surgical-grade stainless steel, and disposable plastics. With hospitals and clinics pushing back against price increases, manufacturers are facing margin pressure. The situation is further complicated by regulatory challenges, as switching suppliers due to tariffs often necessitates re-certification of medical devices, leading to delays in market entry. In response, companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing key components, ramping up domestic production of standardized items, and accelerating research into more cost-effective materials.

This biochips market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The biochips market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $12.62 billion in 2024 to $14.61 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased demand for personalized medicine, high prevalence of chronic diseases, technological innovations, expanded applications in drug discovery, growth in investments in research and development, and supportive regulatory frameworks.

The biochips market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $25.78 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption in point-of-care diagnostics, expanding applications in drug development, rising demand for personalized medicine, advancements in microfluidics technology, growing investments in research and development, expanding collaborations between biotechnology companies and academic institutions, and emerging opportunities in agricultural biotechnology. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in microfluidics technology, emphasis on developing biochips for liquid biopsy applications, rising demand for multiplexed assays for simultaneous detection of multiple analytes, integration of artificial intelligence for data analysis, and the emergence of novel biochip platforms.

The forecast of 15.2% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 1.1% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through supply chain disruptions for high-purity silicon wafers and microfluidic substrates, sourced from key regions such as Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan, which could lead to production delays and increased costs for genomic and diagnostic testing.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The biochips market is poised for growth due to the increasing adoption of personalized medicines. Personalized medicine involves tailoring medical treatments based on individual characteristics such as genetics or lifestyle, aiming to optimize effectiveness and minimize adverse effects. This trend is fueled by the potential of personalized medicine to offer more effective treatments, advancements in genomics, the rising complexity of diseases, and regulatory backing. Biochips play a crucial role in personalized medicine by enabling precise and individualized treatment plans based on a person's genetic profile. For instance, in February 2024, the FDA approved 16 novel personalized therapies for rare diseases in 2023, highlighting the momentum in personalized medicine adoption and its impact on the biochips market.

Leading companies in the biochips market are focusing on developing cutting-edge technologies such as organ-on-a-chip platforms to transform drug discovery and development processes. Organ-on-a-chip platforms are sophisticated microfluidic devices designed to mimic the physiological characteristics and functions of human organs on a smaller scale. For example, in April 2024, Boston Micro Fabrication (BMF) launched BMF Biotechnology Inc., specializing in biochips or organ-on-a-chip platforms for cultivating large-scale tissues in vitro. This advancement accelerates drug and cosmetic development by providing a testing and research platform outside the human body.

In June 2023, Randox Laboratories acquired Cellix Limited to bolster its expertise in benchtop flow cytometry, aligning with its commitment to personalized medicine and improved preventive healthcare. This acquisition expands Randox's portfolio and makes flow cytometry technology more accessible to a wider range of researchers and healthcare professionals. Cellix Limited, based in Ireland, specializes in creating biochips for various applications in the life sciences.
