An agarose gel electrophoresis system is a method used to separate DNA, RNA, or proteins according to their size and charge. It works by applying an electric current to an agarose gel matrix, causing molecules to move through the gel. Smaller molecules travel more quickly and farther than larger ones, enabling their separation and analysis.
The main product categories of the agarose gel electrophoresis system are tray style, tape style, and dam style. A tray-style agarose gel electrophoresis system describes a configuration in which the agarose gel is placed in a flat, open tray for separating DNA, RNA, or proteins. It utilizes different gel varieties, including pourable agarose gel and precast agarose gel, and is applied in places such as testing centers, laboratories, and others.
Tariffs are impacting the agarose gel electrophoresis system market by increasing costs for imported electrophoresis equipment, precast gels, and tray/tape systems. Segments such as multi-well tray systems and precast agarose gels are particularly impacted, with Asia-Pacific regions including China and India experiencing higher import duties. This has resulted in elevated production costs and supply chain adjustments. Positively, tariffs have encouraged local manufacturing, innovation in gel preparation technologies, and investment in domestic laboratory equipment production.

This agarose gel electrophoresis system 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 agarose gel electrophoresis system market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.81 billion in 2025 to $4.13 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to reliance on manual agarose gel preparation, limited availability of precast gels, growing molecular biology research, standardization of laboratory protocols, increasing number of testing centers.
The agarose gel electrophoresis system market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.63 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to automation of agarose gel electrophoresis systems, development of high-throughput tray and tape systems, increasing genomics and proteomics research, rising demand from clinical diagnostics, integration with digital laboratory management systems. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of precast agarose gels, increasing demand for multi-well and customized tray systems, expansion of laboratory and testing centers, growing focus on high-throughput dna/rna analysis, enhanced integration with automated laboratory equipment.
The increasing emphasis on personalized medicine is expected to stimulate the growth of the agarose gel electrophoresis system market in the coming years. Personalized medicine involves tailoring medical treatments and healthcare approaches to an individual's unique genetic, environmental, and lifestyle characteristics. The growing demand for personalized medicine is fueled by its ability to improve treatment outcomes, enhance drug effectiveness, reduce adverse effects, and deliver targeted therapies based on individual genetic and lifestyle profiles. Agarose gel electrophoresis supports personalized medicine by facilitating the separation and analysis of DNA fragments, aiding genetic testing, and identifying specific genetic variations relevant to individualized treatments. For example, in February 2024, according to the Personalized Medicine Coalition, a US-based non-profit organization, the FDA approved 16 new personalized therapies for patients with rare diseases in 2023, compared to six approvals in 2022. Therefore, the growing focus on personalized medicine is driving the growth of the agarose gel electrophoresis system market.
Companies operating in the agarose gel electrophoresis system market are focusing on developing advanced solutions, including high-performance and high-resolution gel imaging systems, to improve accuracy, efficiency, and overall research capabilities. High-performance and high-resolution gel imaging refers to imaging systems' ability to capture clear, detailed, and accurate representations of electrophoresis results, allowing precise visualization of bands and accurate quantification of nucleic acids or proteins with minimal distortion and high sensitivity. For example, in December 2023, Transgen Biotech Co. Ltd., a China-based biotechnology research company, launched the TSE-N multi-purpose horizontal electrophoresis system alongside the TSI-100 gel imaging system, offering advanced functionality for agarose gel electrophoresis. These systems provide precise electrophoresis performance and high-resolution imaging, substantially improving accuracy and efficiency in molecular biology research. The equipment supports both white and ultraviolet light sources for digital image processing of gels stained with silver, fluorescent dyes, film, coomassie brilliant blue, and nucleic acid stains.
In July 2025, LICORbio, a US-based provider of life science imaging systems and analytical solutions, acquired SERVA Electrophoresis for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, LICORbio aims to expand its electrophoresis portfolio and establish an end-to-end, fully integrated protein analysis workflow by combining SERVA's technologies with its own imaging platforms. SERVA Electrophoresis is a Germany-based provider of electrophoresis reagents, including agarose gel electrophoresis systems.
