Cloning and mutagenesis are integral techniques within molecular biology that involve the replication of multiple identical copies of a DNA fragment, gene, or entire genome, along with the introduction of mutations into a DNA sequence. These techniques play a crucial role in studying gene function and regulation, facilitating the development of new drugs and therapeutics, and producing recombinant enzymes and proteins.
The primary products associated with cloning and mutagenesis include cloning kits, mutagenesis kits, and other related tools. Cloning kits are specialized laboratory instruments designed to streamline the process of cloning specific DNA fragments or genes into a cloning vector. These kits are essential for various cloning experiments, including gene cloning, subcloning, site-directed mutagenesis, and library construction. Techniques such as blunt end cloning, topo PCR cloning, seamless cloning, site-directed mutagenesis, among others, are employed by academic and research institutions, biotechnology companies, and other entities engaged in molecular biology research.
Tariffs are impacting the cloning and mutagenesis market by increasing costs of imported enzymes, reagents, vectors, specialized plastics, and laboratory automation components. Research institutes and biotechnology companies in North America and Europe are most affected due to dependence on imported consumables, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressure on kit manufacturing and exports. These tariffs are raising research operating costs and procurement cycles. However, they are also supporting domestic reagent production, regional supplier expansion, and localized manufacturing of molecular biology tools.
The cloning and mutagenesis market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides cloning and mutagenesis market statistics, including cloning and mutagenesis industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a cloning and mutagenesis market share, detailed cloning and mutagenesis market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the cloning and mutagenesis industry. This cloning and mutagenesis 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 cloning and mutagenesis market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3.54 billion in 2025 to $4.21 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of academic research funding, growth of recombinant protein research, increasing use of genetic engineering tools, availability of standardized molecular biology kits, rise of biotech startup activity.
The cloning and mutagenesis market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.5 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for gene function studies, expansion of synthetic biology applications, rising investments in therapeutic protein development, growing adoption of automated lab platforms, increasing focus on precision genome editing. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of high-fidelity cloning kits, rising use of site-directed mutagenesis techniques, growing demand for crispr-based editing tools, expansion of automated molecular biology workflows, enhanced focus on reproducibility and accuracy.
The cloning and mutagenesis market is anticipated to grow due to the increasing demand for personalized medicine. Personalized medicine is an innovative healthcare approach that tailors medical treatment and interventions to the unique characteristics of each patient. Cloning and mutagenesis play crucial roles in various aspects of personalized medicine, such as disease modeling, drug development, target identification, gene therapy, biomarker discovery, patient-specific cell therapies, pharmacogenomics, and genome editing for personalized therapies. For instance, in February 2024, according to the Personalized Medicine Coalition, a US-based non-profit organization, in 2023, the FDA approved 16 new personalized therapies for patients with rare diseases, marking a substantial rise from the six approvals recorded in 2022. This increasing demand for personalized medicine is a significant driver of the growth in the cloning and mutagenesis market.
Leading companies in the cloning and mutagenesis markets are also actively exploring innovative techniques such as Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) to maintain a competitive edge. PCR is a molecular biology laboratory technique that amplifies specific DNA segments. Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., a US-based biotech company, launched the ID-Check Speciation Solution in April 2023. This real-time PCR method aids in meat speciation, allowing the identification of animal species in food, feed, and environmental samples. It provides a reliable and rapid means to verify raw material origins, enhancing production line cleaning processes. The solution targets mitochondrial DNA from various meat species with exceptional sensitivity, detecting DNA concentrations as low as 0.001%. It features a duplex detection system for accuracy and user convenience.
n March 2023, Sartorius AG, a Germany-based multinational life science company, acquired Polyplus Transfection SA for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Sartorius intends to broaden its upstream portfolio for cell and gene therapy manufacturing by incorporating Polyplus's transfection reagents, nucleic acid delivery technologies, and GMP-grade plasmid DNA capabilities to support viral vector production and plasmid workflows essential to gene modification research and GMP applications. Polyplus Transfection SA, a France-based company, offers services related to cloning and mutagenesis.
