Nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT) is a molecular technique that detects and amplifies DNA or RNA in samples, enabling early pathogen detection and advancing research into genetic diseases and targeted therapies.
The primary types of nucleic acid amplification testing include target amplification systems, probe amplification systems, and signal amplification systems. Target amplification systems are methods used to amplify specific nucleic acid sequences within a sample and are essential for improving sensitivity and precision in nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT). The product categories include consumables and instruments or systems incorporating technologies such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests, isothermal nucleic acid amplification technology (INAAT) tests, and ligase chain reaction (LCR) tests. These are applied in areas including infectious disease testing, oncology diagnostics, genetic and mitochondrial disease testing, and others and are used by end users such as hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, biotechnology companies, and others.
Tariffs are impacting the nucleic acid amplification testing market by increasing costs of imported reagents, instruments, and precision components used in PCR and isothermal systems. Consumables and instruments segments are most affected, particularly in Asia-Pacific and North America where global supply chains are highly interconnected. Higher costs have slowed procurement cycles for hospitals and diagnostic laboratories. However, tariffs are encouraging local manufacturing, regional sourcing, and domestic capacity expansion, supporting long-term supply chain resilience.

This nucleic acid amplification testing 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 nucleic acid amplification testing market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $11.03 billion in 2025 to $12.7 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to infectious disease outbreaks, expansion of clinical laboratories, PCR technology adoption, public health screening programs, declining assay costs.
The nucleic acid amplification testing market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $22.1 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to personalized medicine growth, demand for rapid diagnostics, expansion in emerging markets, technological miniaturization, regulatory approvals for novel assays. Major trends in the forecast period include rapid point-of-care molecular testing, expansion of multiplex and syndromic panels, rising adoption of isothermal amplification techniques, growth in home-based and decentralized testing, increasing focus on early disease detection.
The increasing incidence of infectious diseases is increasingly supporting the expansion of the nucleic acid amplification testing market going forward. Infectious diseases are conditions caused by pathogenic organisms that spread through direct contact, airborne transmission, contaminated food or water, or vector-borne pathways. The rise in infectious diseases is associated with antibiotic resistance, climate change, changes in human behavior, and agricultural practices. Nucleic acid amplification testing enables rapid and accurate identification of infectious pathogens, supporting timely diagnosis and treatment while helping limit disease transmission. For example, in October 2023, according to the Public Health Agency of Canada, a government agency, participating provinces and territories reported 4,216 influenza-related hospitalizations during the 2022-2023 season. Consequently, the growing incidence of infectious diseases is strengthening demand for nucleic acid amplification testing solutions.
Leading companies operating in the nucleic acid amplification testing market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as in vitro diagnostics (IVD) assays, to screen donated blood for cytomegalovirus (CMV) using nucleic acid amplification technology (NAT) in compliance with the IVDR. An IVD assay is a laboratory-based test performed on biological samples to detect diseases, conditions, or infections outside the human body. For example, in June 2024, GFE, a Germany-based company, launched PoET CMV, an IVD assay designed for the rapid and accurate detection of CMV infections. The assay offers high sensitivity and specificity, supporting early diagnosis and effective monitoring of CMV in transplant recipients and immunocompromised patients. By leveraging advanced molecular techniques, the test delivers reliable results quickly, enabling timely clinical decision-making.
In July 2024, Roche Holding AG, a Switzerland-based pharmaceutical company, acquired LumiraDx for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, Roche aims to expand its diagnostics division by offering a broader range of immunoassay and clinical chemistry tests that provide high-value testing without requiring specialized cold storage. This approach supports use across diverse healthcare settings while improving testing efficiency and patient outcomes, particularly in primary care and underserved regions. LumiraDx is a UK-based provider of nucleic acid amplification testing solutions.
