VIRAL MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTICS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global viral molecular diagnostics market size was USD 9.91 billion in 2024 and the market is projected to touch USD 18.53 billion by 2033 at a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period.

Viral molecular diagnostics refers to the use of molecular biology techniques and tools to detect and identify viral infections in biological samples. This approach focuses on the genetic material (such as DNA or RNA) of viruses to diagnose infections with high specificity and sensitivity. Viral molecular diagnostics can detect various viral pathogens, including those responsible for diseases such as influenza, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, COVID-19, and many others.

The market has witnessed an exceptional growth rate in the last few years due to the prevalence of viral infection diseases all over the world and the increased awareness about the advantages of early diagnostics treatment. These tests can provide rapid and accurate results and help in the early detection, monitoring, and management of viral infections.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Coronavirus Outbreak Surged the Demand for Viral Diagnostics Test

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the viral molecular diagnostics market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 pandemic led to an unprecedented surge in demand for viral molecular diagnostics. PCR-based tests, particularly RT-PCR tests, became the gold standard for diagnosing COVID-19. This resulted in a massive increase in testing volumes and the need for testing infrastructure. Additionally, the urgency of the pandemic drove rapid innovation in viral diagnostics. As a result, many companies developed and commercialized new COVID-19 tests that contributed to the expansion of the diagnostic test menu throughout the pandemic. Considering this, the market is projected to continue to grow in the future due to rising other viral infection diseases.
