The U.S. DNA synthesis market size is projected to reach USD 4.62 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 15.93% from 2025 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The U.S. DNA synthesis market is growing quickly, driven by the increasing need for customized genetic material to support advances in biomedical research, therapeutic development, and synthetic biology. As areas like gene editing, personalized medicine, and molecular diagnostics expand, DNA synthesis has become a key technology that allows researchers and developers to produce precise, high-quality DNA sequences tailored to specific uses. The rising use of CRISPR, mRNA-based therapies, and genetic screening further speeds up the market's growth.
Technological advancements, including chip-based and enzymatic synthesis, transform traditional DNA manufacturing by enabling faster, more scalable, and cost-efficient production. Simultaneously, the integration of AI and automation tools streamlines design, error correction, and sequence optimization, significantly reducing development timelines and boosting accuracy. These innovations are essential for applications like gene therapy, vaccine production, and synthetic biology, which have high demands for rapid prototyping and iteration.
The market's growth is also driven by increasing research activities across academic, pharmaceutical, and contract research sectors. Biopharmaceutical companies and diagnostics developers depend more on high-throughput, custom DNA synthesis services to support drug discovery, biomarker identification, and cell engineering workflows. The move toward outsourced development and manufacturing (CDMO) partnerships further boosts market expansion, as companies seek flexible and scalable synthesis solutions that meet changing regulatory standards.
As DNA synthesis technologies mature, the U.S. market is positioned to play a central role in enabling the next generation of genetic innovation. From advancing gene and cell therapies to supporting global health initiatives, the sector is critical to driving precision medicine forward, improving clinical outcomes, and expanding the capabilities of modern life science research.
