The global transfection reagents and equipment market size is expected to reach USD 3.1 billion by 2033, registering a CAGR of 8.9% from 2026 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The latest polymeric formulations-based compounds are gentle to cells as compared to cationic liposomes and these products render higher gene-delivery efficiency, further promoting the development of unique transfection products in the market.
Moreover, multi-component reagents such as X-tremeGENE provided by F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG, deliver high efficiency and minimal cytotoxicity than traditional ones comprising only one-component formulations. Thus, companies are keen on offering cutting-edge transfection solutions, in turn, offering significant momentum to market growth.
The gene expression studies segment dominated the market and account for the largest revenue share in 2019. This is attributed to the rising focus on the translation of genomic information in clinics. In addition, an increasing number of research projects related to the identification of chromosomal anomalies is anticipated to propel segment growth.
