The global nucleic acid isolation and purification market size is estimated to reach USD 12.84 billion by 2033, registering a CAGR of 10.07% from 2026 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth is attributed to the increasing number of cancer cases, chronic diseases prevalence, and rising public-private funding for biotechnology and life sciences research. In addition, advancements in automation and technology, and growing demand for genetically modified crops and organisms also contribute to the market growth. For instance, in December 2023, HiMedia Labs elaborated the significance and efficacy of magnetic bead-based systems in nucleic acid extraction and applying nucleic acid isolation and purification in various end-use industries.
The number of precision medicines developed for treating multiple diseases, such as diabetes, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, neurological diseases, and autoimmune diseases. This market is introduced with the various new approaches, aiding the manipulation of genes. For instance, the companies are investing in a platform that delivers nucleic acids, such as small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), to address gene overexpression and mutations in conditions such as cancer, genetic disorders, and autoimmune diseases. Researchers are constantly trying to find effective therapeutics for patients. The upcoming new precision therapies may hold the key to treat incurable diseases. The use of nucleic acids and nucleic acid isolation & purification products and technologies are, therefore, very crucial for developing precision medicines.
The research and development (R&D) efforts in human genomics conducted by pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies have significantly transformed disease diagnosis and treatment development. The nucleic acid isolation and purification kits and instruments market is crucial in new drug discovery, target identification, and testing, particularly in genome editing. Substantial investments in R&D and drug discovery projects drive the competitive rivalry among companies in this space. The increasing adoption of emerging technologies for therapy development is expected to further drive market growth, with nucleic acid isolation and purification serving as a key step in manufacturing drugs and therapies through recombinant genetics. Key factors contributing to growth include the widespread use of CRISPR technology for identifying and validating therapeutics, creating improved animal testing models, and reducing the cost of research and development for drug discovery in preclinical trials.
