The Saudi Arabia Molecular Diagnostics Market was valued at USD 321.3 million in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.2% to reach USD 438.5 million by 2034.
The growth is driven by the increasing adoption of molecular diagnostic techniques, which analyze biological markers in the genome and proteome, including DNA, RNA, and proteins, to detect and monitor a variety of diseases. This approach is highly valued for its accuracy and effectiveness in identifying genetic disorders, infectious diseases, and cancer. Advances in technology have led to compact, portable diagnostic devices, allowing tests to be conducted at point-of-care settings rather than centralized laboratories. These portable solutions are now widely used in clinics, ambulances, and even at patients’ homes, improving convenience for healthcare providers and patients. Innovations have also reduced testing times, enabling faster disease detection and timely treatment decisions. Automation and intelligent software have streamlined operations, reduced human error, increased testing capacity, and enhanced the efficiency and reliability of molecular diagnostics.
The reagents & kits segment generated USD 231.3 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 313.2 million by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 3.1%. This segment dominates the Saudi Arabia Molecular Diagnostics Market because reagents, kits, enzymes, primers, and chemicals are essential for detecting genetic material from pathogens. As the number of diagnostic tests for diseases rises, the demand for these consumables grows proportionally.
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) segment held a 70.4% share in 2024. PCR remains the leading molecular diagnostic technology due to its precision, rapid processing, and wide applicability. It can detect even minute amounts of genetic material, making it ideal for diagnosing infectious diseases, hereditary conditions, and cancers. Miniaturized PCR devices are expanding the scope of molecular diagnostics into home and remote testing environments.
The hospitals and clinics segment held a 45.9% share in 2024. Hospitals play a pivotal role in molecular diagnostics because they handle high patient volumes and can conduct complex tests using advanced laboratory infrastructure and skilled personnel. Centralized hospital systems enable high-volume testing with automation, delivering rapid, consistent, and accurate results for infectious disease screening, cancer detection, and genetic testing.
Key players operating in the Saudi Arabia Molecular Diagnostics Market include Bio-Rad Laboratories, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Abbott Laboratories, Danaher Corporation, Qiagen, Agilent Technologies, F. Hoffmann-La Roche, Siemens Healthineers, Hologic, Sysmex Corporation, QuidelOrtho Corporation, Biocartis, and Becton, Dickinson, and Company. Companies in the Saudi Arabia Molecular Diagnostics Market are strengthening their presence by investing in research and development to improve test accuracy, speed, and user-friendliness. Strategic partnerships with hospitals, diagnostic labs, and technology providers are enabling the launch of integrated diagnostic platforms. Market expansion through regional distribution networks and localized service offerings enhances accessibility. Firms are also adopting automation and AI-based solutions to optimize workflows, reduce errors, and handle high testing volumes.
