The global automated nucleic acid extraction market size is projected to reach USD 8.77 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 11.89% from 2025 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expanding rapidly, with its growth mainly driven by the surge in demand for superior, contamination-free DNA and RNA that are essential for advanced molecular biology, diagnostics, and other medical industry applications, such as biomanufacturing and precision medicine.
The growing acceptance of automation in genomics and other fields, such as biopharmaceuticals, clinical testing, and point-of-care applications, is the reason behind the massive transformation, where manually extracted materials are being replaced by standardized, high-throughput automated ones. The use of next-generation sequencing, cell and gene therapy workflows, and mRNA-based therapeutics has continued to grow. Thus, the need for reliable, scalable, and fast nucleic acid purification systems that can deliver consistent output with minimal hands-on time remains ongoing.
Real-time process monitoring, AI-based optimization, and integration of digital lab platforms are yielding improved traceability, workflow efficiency, and scale-up capabilities in both research and regulated manufacturing environments.
Automated nucleic acid extraction systems will continue to be crucial in ensuring that laboratories worldwide can prepare large-volume, high-quality samples in a clean manner, thereby remaining at the core of the global life sciences and healthcare community.
