The electrophoresis market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The size of the electrophoresis market has seen considerable expansion in recent times. The expectation is for it to increase from $3.07 billion in 2024 to $3.25 billion in 2025, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The previous growth can be linked with the escalating rates of genetic diseases, advances in drug exploration and creation, protein examination in proteomics research, growing applications in clinical diagnostics, and progress in molecular biology.
The Electrophoresis market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Predictions indicate a substantial growth in the electrophoresis market size over the coming years, aiming to reach a worth of $4.44 billion by 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%.
This projected growth during the estimation period can be linked to factors such as the shift towards capillary electrophoresis, the need for high-throughput analysis, the broadening scope in food and beverage testing, diagnostic applications dealing with infectious diseases, and breakthroughs in microfluidic electrophoresis. Upcoming trends that could shape the estimated period include the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and omics technologies, the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) in data analysis, the customisation and personalisation of electrophoresis systems, the expansion of the market in burgeoning economies, along with strategic acquisitions and mergers.
The electrophoresis market is expected to experience substantial growth driven by the escalating instances of cancer, infectious diseases and genetic disorders. Regularly occurring and spreading pandemic-potential infectious illnesses such as the plague, cholera, flu and severe acute respiratory syndrome are examples. Moreover, cancer, like diabetes and heart disease, is resultant from multiple causes instead of just one. This contributes to the increased use of electrophoresis for the detection and separation of DNA, RNA, or protein molecules to ascertain antibiotic concentration, thus enhancing dosage correctness. For example, in June 2022, the UK-based cancer charity Macmillan Cancer Support reported that the number of people living with cancer hit 3 million in 2022 and is anticipated to increase to approximately 3.5 million by 2025 and 4 million by 2030. Consequently, the escalating frequency of cancer and infectious diseases would spur the growth of the electrophoresis market.
