Ultracentrifuge Global Market Report 2026

An ultracentrifuge is a high-speed centrifuge capable of separating particles according to size, density, and shape by spinning samples at extremely high rotational speeds, often exceeding 100,000 RPM. It is mainly used to isolate and purify biological molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, and viruses at the molecular level.

The primary types of ultracentrifuges include desktop centrifuges and floor centrifuges. Desktop centrifuges are compact, bench-top laboratory devices designed for high-speed sample separation, making them suitable for small-scale operations and environments with limited space. These centrifuges are used in applications such as molecular biology, biochemistry, and polymer science and are utilized by end users including hospitals, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, and academic and research institutions.

Tariffs are impacting the ultracentrifuge market by increasing costs of imported high-precision components like rotors, vacuum systems, and electronic controls. Asia-Pacific regions, including China and India, are most affected due to reliance on imported ultracentrifuge equipment. Despite the increased costs, tariffs have encouraged local manufacturing and assembly of centrifuges, enabling regional suppliers to expand their presence.

The ultracentrifuge market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.36 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising adoption in precision medicine research, integration with lab automation systems, increasing demand for high-throughput centrifugation, growth in biopharmaceutical production, expansion in polymer and material science applications. Major trends in the forecast period include high-speed molecular separation, automated sample handling, multi-application centrifuge platforms, ai-enhanced protocol optimization, remote monitoring and control.

The increasing prevalence of infectious diseases is increasingly supporting the expansion of the ultracentrifuge market going forward. Infectious diseases are caused by microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites and can spread through direct contact, contaminated food or water, or insect vectors, often requiring treatments such as antibiotics or antivirals. The rising prevalence of infectious diseases is influenced by factors including climate change, global travel, urbanization, and inadequate sanitation. Ultracentrifuges play a vital role in infectious disease research and control by separating and purifying viral pathogens, supporting accurate diagnosis and epidemiological surveillance, and concentrating viral or bacterial components for vaccine development. For example, in March 2024, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a US-based public health agency, reported cases increased from 8,320 in 2022 to 9,615 in 2023, with incidence rates rising from 2.5 to 2.9 per 100,000 people. Consequently, the growing prevalence of infectious diseases is reinforcing demand for ultracentrifuge systems.

The growing demand for personalized medicine is expected to propel the growth of the ultracentrifuge market going forward. Personalized medicine is a healthcare approach that tailors treatments based on individual patient characteristics. Demand for personalized medicine is increasing due to advances in genomic technologies that enable precise identification of genetic variations and targeted therapies. Ultracentrifuges support personalized medicine by enabling accurate separation and analysis of biomolecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, and extracellular vesicles. For example, in February 2024, according to the Personalized Medicine Coalition, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved 26 new personalized medicines in 2023, compared with 12 approvals in 2022. Therefore, rising demand for personalized medicine is driving ultracentrifuge market growth.

Major companies operating in the ultracentrifugation market are concentrating on the development of advanced solutions such as automated gradient preparation to improve throughput and reproducibility. Automated gradient preparation involves the use of automated systems to create precise density gradients in centrifuge tubes, reducing manual handling and ensuring sample consistency. For instance, in April 2025, Beckman Coulter Life Sciences, a US-based provider of laboratory automation and diagnostic systems, launched the OptiMATE Gradient Maker to accelerate density gradient ultracentrifugation workflows. The system reduces gradient preparation and centrifugation times, shortening spin cycles from up to 48 hours to less than five hours while minimizing manual steps such as sealing and method configuration. Its plug-and-play design integrates with existing laboratory infrastructure and delivers consistent gradients for high-purity viral vector purification applications such as AAV. The intuitive software enables rapid operator training, allowing laboratories to enhance efficiency and reproducibility in ultracentrifuge workflows.
