The magnetic beads market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for magnetic beads has seen a swift increase in the past few years. The market is projected to expand from $2.43 billion in 2024 to $2.73 billion in 2025, displaying a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.2%.
The rise in growth during the historic period is linked to factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic, augmented healthcare spending, and a rapidly aging population.
The magnetic beads market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for magnetic beads is set to experience significant expansion in the coming years, with predictions of it reaching $4.73 billion by 2029, sporting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.7%.
This forthcoming growth could be a result of factors such as increased government backing for genetic and microbiological studies, advancements in the medical tech industry, and the rising instances of chronic illnesses. Notable trends for this forecast period include spearheading novel tech solutions, prioritizing the introduction of services that modify magnetic beads to improve cell isolation and the extraction of RNA or DNA, and protein purification, as well as launching magnetic bead separation plates to make nucleic acid testing more cost-effective.
The forecasted growth of the magnetic beads market is predicted to be driven by government efforts supporting genetic and microbiological research. A rising global trend observed in several nations is the implementation of national plans aiming to incorporate advanced microbial genomics research, which is likely to increase the demand for magnetic beads in genetic and microbiology studies. For instance, the Department of Health and Social Care, a UK government agency, reported in December 2022 that NHS England revealed their research and development data in March 2022. This data included a prospective allocation of up to £18 million ($19.41 million), contingent on government endorsement. This funding is aimed at promoting the usage of genomics and associated health data for research and innovation within the Genome UK initiative. Consequently, the magnetic beads market is expected to grow due to these government policies supporting genetic and microbiological research progress.
