July 2025 | Report Format: Electronic (PDF)

Molecular Biology Enzymes, Reagents And Kits Market Growth & Trends

The global molecular biology enzymes, reagents, and kits market size is expected to reach USD 34.11 billion by 2033, registering a CAGR of 9.99% from 2025 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth of the market globally can be attributed to continuous advancement in technologies in the molecular biology field, the prevalence of infectious and chronic diseases, increased usage of sequencing technologies and growing omics-based research activities.

The COVID-19 pandemic exponentially increased the demand for molecular biology enzymes, reagents, and kits, and the continuous rise in cases worldwide kept the demand on the higher side. Many market players, healthcare organizations, and academic and research institutes were actively engaged in the development of vaccines and they increased the research for repurposing the existing therapeutics for the treatment of COVID-19 infection. This continuous R&D activity is expected to boost the demand for these products in the coming years. Moreover, in an effort to detect the SARS-CoV-2 virus faster, many new products were launched by the key market players, such as RNA extraction kits. For example, in June 2020, Omega Bio-tek, Inc. announced the launch of its “Mag-Bind Viral RNA Xpress Kit” for RNA isolation in a reliable and rapid manner from the nasopharyngeal swab of patient samples.

Continuous funding and investments in the field of synthetic biology and multi-omics are expanding the field of biotechnology. As per a press release in March 2022, The Bristol Centre for Engineering Biology, BrisEngBio, is an institute that supports research and discovery in synthetic biology. It is a UKRI-funded research center that has published over 325 research papers, collaborated with 8 biotech companies, and received an additional USD 117.90 million for research. This rapidly advancing field of synthetic biology and multi-omics will result in more extensive adoption of molecular biology, enzymes, kits, and reagent products, which serve as educational tools. And this adoption rate further enhances the development of innovative methods such as drug discovery, diagnostics development, and gene therapies manufacturing, hence driving the market significantly.

The key market players are expanding their global presence through never-ceasing product launches and sustained technological developments. Acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, and manufacturing expansions are also some of the business strategies taken up by the key players to drive revenue generation in the market. For example, in January 2022, Illumina, Inc. announced a partnership with SomaLogic to develop a product by integrating Illumina’s NGS technology with SomaScan Proteomics Assay. This partnership bolsters the rapidly growing high-throughput segment of the proteomics market.
