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.
Human microbiome-based products that are intended for wellness or as dietary supplements are outside the scope of the report, as are nonstandardized fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) procedures. Microbiome-based diagnostics include only products that claim to detect or screen for any disease or condition.
