Infectious disease molecular diagnostics involves advanced laboratory methods used to detect and identify genetic material from pathogens like bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites in patient samples. These diagnostics facilitate rapid and precise diagnosis of infectious diseases, enabling timely treatment and effective disease management.
The primary product categories in infectious disease molecular diagnostics include kits and reagents, instruments, software, and services. Kits and reagents consist of pre-packaged chemical and biological components designed for specific laboratory tests or procedures, such as detecting, measuring, or amplifying genetic material, proteins, or pathogens. Key technologies employed in this area include polymerase chain reaction, in situ hybridization, isothermal nucleic acid amplification, chips and microarrays, mass spectrometry, transcription-mediated amplification, among others. These tools are applied to a variety of conditions, including respiratory diseases, tuberculosis, meningitis, gastrointestinal infections, human papillomavirus, sexually transmitted infections, sepsis, and drug-resistant diseases. End users include hospitals and clinical laboratories, diagnostic labs, pharmaceutical companies, and academic and research institutions.
Tariffs are impacting the infectious disease molecular diagnostics market by increasing the cost of imported instruments, kits, and reagents, particularly impacting regions such as north america and europe where reliance on imported high-precision equipment is significant. The polymerase chain reaction and next-generation sequencing segments are most affected due to their high import content. While tariffs may slightly slow adoption in price-sensitive markets, they have also encouraged local manufacturing and innovation in diagnostic platforms, creating opportunities for domestic suppliers to capture market share.

This infectious disease molecular diagnostics 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 infectious disease molecular diagnostics market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $30.46 billion in 2025 to $32.04 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing prevalence of infectious diseases, advancements in pcr and sequencing technologies, rising government funding for infectious disease research, increasing awareness about early diagnosis, expansion of clinical laboratories.
The infectious disease molecular diagnostics market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $38.77 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing adoption of ai-driven diagnostic tools, rise in demand for rapid and accurate diagnostics, expansion of emerging markets healthcare infrastructure, increasing focus on personalized medicine, growth of home-based molecular diagnostic solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include rapid point-of-care diagnostic adoption, rising demand for multiplex testing, integration of molecular diagnostics with ehr systems, expansion of infectious disease surveillance programs, increasing focus on antimicrobial resistance detection.
The rising incidence of infectious diseases is expected to drive the expansion of the infectious disease molecular diagnostics market in the coming years. Infectious diseases are conditions caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, which can be transmitted directly or indirectly from one individual to another. The growing prevalence of infectious diseases is largely attributed to globalization and increased travel, which allow pathogens to spread quickly across borders, turning localized outbreaks into global health crises. Infectious disease molecular diagnostics aid in managing these diseases by enabling rapid and accurate detection of pathogens at the genetic level, supporting early diagnosis, targeted therapy, and effective outbreak control. For example, in November 2024, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a US government agency, reported that tuberculosis (TB) cases in 2023 reached 9,633, up from 8,332 in 2022, representing a 15.6% rise in case numbers. Consequently, the growing prevalence of infectious diseases is fueling the expansion of the infectious disease molecular diagnostics market.
Leading companies in the infectious disease molecular diagnostics market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions such as real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) kits, which enable rapid, accurate, and high-throughput detection of infectious pathogens. Real-time PCR kits amplify and detect specific genetic material of pathogens simultaneously in real time, allowing for fast and precise identification of infectious diseases. For instance, in February 2023, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., a US-based biotechnology and life sciences company, introduced Applied Biosystems TaqPath PCR kits for infectious disease detection in India. These kits offer fast, highly sensitive multiplex diagnostic solutions that perform real-time PCR detection of infectious disease targets through a complete workflow-from ribonucleic acid extraction to diagnostic report generation, typically within four hours. The kits include multiplexed assays targeting multiple pathogen genomic regions, internal process controls, and automated data interpretation, which reduces user error and improves reliability of results.
In May 2024, Bruker Corporation, a US-based scientific instrument and analytical technology company, acquired ELITechGroup for $0.94 billion. Through this acquisition, Bruker Corporation aims to enhance its expertise in infectious disease diagnostics by obtaining access to advanced sample-to-answer molecular diagnostic systems and an extensive portfolio of infectious disease assays that complement its existing products. ELITechGroup SAS is a France-based company specializing in infectious disease molecular diagnostics.
