The molecular cytogenetics market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•In the past few years, there has been a substantial growth in the molecular cytogenetics industry. The size of the market is forecasted to expand from $2.85 billion in 2024 to $3.12 billion in 2025, projecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5%.
Factors contributing to this growth in the past include an increase in instances of cancer and genetic disorders, the surging demand for customized medication, development and research in the life sciences sector, clinical applications for prenatal and postnatal diagnosis, and worldwide initiatives in genomic medicine.
The molecular cytogenetics market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The next few years are anticipated to witness a rapid acceleration in the growth of the molecular cytogenetics market, which is projected to expand to "$4.67 billion by 2029 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 10.6%.
The growth anticipated in the forecast period can be accredited to factors such as the rise in next-generation sequencing (NGS), an enhanced focus on liquid biopsies, expanding applications in cancer research, the increasing usage in diagnosing infectious diseases, and a swift expansion in the services of genetic testing. Key trends in the forecast period encompass the use of next-generation sequencing (NGS) in cytogenetic, adoption of automation & high-throughput screening, advancements in fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), increasing applications in cancer diagnostics and single-cell analysis.
The molecular cytogenetics market is anticipated to expand due to the growing prevalence of genetic diseases and cancer. Cancer is a disease characterized by uncontrolled cell growth that can metastasize to other body parts. Cytogenetic tests inspect tissue and blood samples for chromosomal alterations such as broken, absent, or rearranged chromosomes. These changes in chromosomes can indicate genetic illnesses, conditions, or certain types of cancer, thus the escalating occurrence of these health issues is set to stimulate market growth. For example, data from the American Cancer Society, a nationwide voluntary health organization based in the US, predicts that by the year 2040, there will be 27.5 million new cancer diagnoses and 16.3 million cancer-related deaths worldwide. Moreover, in 2022, the US reported 1,918,030 fresh cancer cases and 609,360 cancer deaths, with lung cancer accounting for roughly 350 daily deaths. Consequently, the rise in genetic disorders and cancer incidence is propelling the molecular cytogenetics market’s growth.
