  • ID: 6091044
The global market for human microbiome-based drugs and diagnostics is expected to grow from $393.4 million in 2025 to reach $1.2 billion by the end of 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.6% from 2025 through 2030.

Human microbiome-based drugs and diagnostics are novel approaches to tackling difficult-to-treat diseases. The growing understanding of the human microbiome can be leveraged to fill the gaps in conventional treatment options. A wide range of scientific studies have demonstrated the role of microbiomes in the pathogenesis of various diseases. The microbiome field is also witnessing an increased level of investments from the private and public sectors. Future opportunities in the market lie in exploring microbiomes in other body parts, such as lungs, and developing microbiome-based drugs as combination therapies. Leading companies in the market for human microbiome-based drugs and diagnostics include Ferring, Nestlé Health Science (Seres Therapeutics), BiomeBank, Genetic Analysis AS and Vedanta Biosciences.

Report Scope

The report analyzes the global market for human microbiome-based drugs and diagnostics and market trends. It includes global revenues for the base year 2024, estimated data for 2025 and the compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) for forecast period of 2025 to 2030. The market is segmented by type, application, end user and region. The microbiome-based drug segment is further segmented by route of administration: oral or rectal. Microbiome-based diagnostics are segmented based on product type into instruments, and reagents and kits. End-user segments include hospitals and clinics, pharmaceutical companies and research institutes. Applications include metabolic, gastrointestinal (GI) and infectious diseases, cancer and others. The regions covered include North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America and the Middle East and Africa (MEA).
